Information society can also be called "post-industrial society" and "knowledge society", which is a new social category put forward by some sociologists and futurists after the 1960s. Compared with the industrial society, the information society is still a forming society, not a society that has basically taken shape, so it is transitional. Production tools have entered the intelligent era from the era of big machines, and most of the labor force has moved from the primary and secondary industries to the tertiary industries, such as transportation, communication, commerce, education and science. High-tech industries with high intelligence have become the pillar industries of the information society. The information society has the following educational characteristics:

(1) A series of changes will take place in the school.

The purpose of the school is not only to meet the needs of people's professional preparation, but also to meet the needs of people's humanistic care; School types are further diversified to meet the diverse learning needs of different learners; On the basis of modern information technology, a school education network extending in all directions will eventually be established; The relationship between schools and markets is getting closer and closer.

(2) The trend of internationalization and localization of education is obvious.

Globalization not only means that people in different countries and regions have a shared relationship, but also means the repositioning of nations and countries. Therefore, education should cultivate the educated from the aspects of attitude, knowledge, emotion and skills, so that they can prepare for the international era from an early age. At the same time, the wave of educational localization will appear under the background of educational internationalization and become the main topic for people to rebuild local culture and educational tradition. The localization of education is of great significance to the protection of world cultural diversity.

(3) The function of education will be further elaborated.

The political and cultural nature of education will become the educational nature that people pay attention to after the productive nature of education, and the role of education in political reform and cultural construction will be further understood systematically and profoundly. The relationship between education and society has changed from simple adaptation to the combination of comprehensive adaptation, criticism, creation and transcendence.

(4) The concepts of lifelong education and universal education have become the basic concepts guiding educational reform.

Education is far from confined to the school-age stage, but runs through one's life; Education is no longer the patent of the younger generation, but the basic needs of all members of society. Educational reform should also focus on creating a society suitable for lifelong learning and meeting the educational needs of learners of different ages and social groups.
