1, the cultural transmission and preservation function of education.
Education, as an activity of cultivating people, takes culture as the intermediary and objectively plays the role of cultural inheritance and popularization. It is precisely because of the unique role of education that the culture accumulated by human beings can be passed down from generation to generation.

As a specific culture, education must choose a vast culture, analyze and evaluate the cultural situation of social reality according to the needs of the ruling class and students' development, discard the false and retain the true, and provide students with a scientific and valuable culture. This can not only guide the development of social culture in a healthy direction, but also cultivate and improve the cultural choice and critical ability of the educated, and finally promote the development of students.

Education mainly promotes cultural exchange and integration through two ways: one is the internal education process itself. The education process itself forms a new culture by learning from different cultures, selecting and integrating different cultures, and promotes the continuous enrichment and development of culture. Second, foreign educational exchange activities, such as exchange of overseas students, academic exchanges and cooperation with foreign countries, promote mutual absorption, mutual influence and integration between different national cultures.
