From a philosophical point of view, labor is the unity of subject, object and meaning.
Marx said in Das Kapital that "the sprout of future education has sprouted from the factory system. For all children who have reached a certain age, future education is a combination of productive labor and physical and mental education. It is not only the way to improve social production, but also the only way to cultivate people with all-round development. "
In March 2020, the State Council and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening Labor Education in Colleges, Universities and Primary Schools in the New Period. The opinion puts forward that compulsory courses of labor education should be set up in universities, primary and secondary schools according to the characteristics of each school section, and labor education should be strengthened systematically. The labor education class in primary and secondary schools should be no less than 1 class hour every week, and the school should make provisions for students' extracurricular labor time every day. Vocational colleges carry out labor education with training courses as the main carrier, in which the special education on labor spirit, model worker spirit and craftsman spirit is not less than 16 hours. Ordinary colleges and universities should make it clear that labor education mainly depends on courses, of which the undergraduate stage is not less than 32 hours.
