Marxist theory of man's all-round development is an important part of Marxist educational thought. Its basic idea is that human development is consistent with the development of social production.
The old division of labor caused one-sided development of human beings, and the production of large industrial machinery provided a material basis for the all-round development of human beings. The fundamental way to realize people's all-round development is to combine education with productive labor.
Starting from the influence of social material production on people's development, Marxism foresees that modern socialized mass production requires that "people have their own comprehensive essence completely-as a complete person" and "develop all their characteristics in a balanced way".

Theoretical points
1, man's all-round development is relative to man's one-sided development. An all-round person is one who has achieved universal, full and free development in spirit and body, personality and sociality.
2. The direction, how and to what extent people develop depends on social conditions.
3. From the historical development process, human development is restricted by social division of labor.
4. The high development of modern large-scale industrial production will certainly put forward requirements and provide possibilities for the all-round development of mankind.
Marx predicted that the all-round development of mankind can only be realized in a communist society.
