The functions of the education law specifically include: regulating functions, generally regulating one's own behavior, and regulating educational activities and educational relations by stipulating the legal rights and obligations of educational subjects and their responsibilities after implementation.

Emphasizing the normative function of everyone's behavior is the standard of people's educational behavior, and whether people conduct educational behavior is based on educational laws.

Predictive function generally indicates the behavior of others, so that people can know or estimate in advance how to carry out educational activities and within what scope.

Mandatory function is a mandatory norm for some people who do not abide by laws and regulations. Law is the embodiment of national will, and it is not enough to rely on people's conscious compliance. It must be backed by coercion, so that people can resolutely implement it.

The core content of education law is to confirm and stipulate the rights and obligations of education, so as to clarify the rights and obligations enjoyed by different educational subjects and the responsibilities for violating the law.
