The regulation of training builders and successors of the socialist cause embodies the socialist education direction of China's education, is the fundamental purpose of China's socialist education, and is the fundamental difference between the purpose of socialist education and the purpose of previous social education. According to Marxist theory, in socialist society, working people become the masters of the country and society.

The purpose of socialist education is to train laborers and successors of socialist construction, not to train rulers who are free from labor and oppress the people.

In order to make the younger generation become socialist laborers and successors of the construction cause, we must make them have socialist consciousness, establish the ideological concept of serving the people, and have the cultural and scientific knowledge and real skills to contribute to the socialist construction cause.

This shows the socialist nature of education serving the masses, and the people we want to cultivate are not exploiters or rulers, but workers in socialist construction and masters of socialist cause.
