Modern social education has a special role that other forms of education can't match, which is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

First, social education is directly oriented to the whole society and has social, political and economic backgrounds. Compared with school education and family education, social education has a wider range of activities and influences, and can effectively play an active role in the whole society.

Second, social education not only faces schools and teenagers, but also faces adult workers in society. This can not only make up for the shortage of school education, meet the requirements of adults to continue their studies, effectively promote economic development, but also promote social stability and progress through political and moral education.

Third, the forms of social education are flexible and diverse, and there is no strict constraint of institutionalized education. It is rarely restricted by class, status, age and seniority, and can well reflect the democracy of education.
