Death education is an educational way to help people face death and realize the value of life. In some cultures, death education is regarded as a necessary part, because it can help people better understand death, relieve the pressure brought by death and promote a deeper understanding of life. At the same time, proper death education also helps to encourage people to cherish life, pay attention to people and things around them, and live more actively.

It is also necessary to carry out death education in schools, especially in modern society. Faced with all kinds of uncertainties and pressures, people's cognition of life and death may become vague and chaotic. As an educational institution, schools can provide students with more comprehensive and systematic death education, help students correctly understand the essence, significance and value of death, and improve their life consciousness and values. At the same time, proper death education can also make students better understand and pay attention to their own social and cultural background, thus enhancing their sense of social responsibility and cultural consciousness.

However, death education also needs attention to methods and moderation. Educators should consider students' age, growth background and psychological state when carrying out death education, so as to avoid causing too much negative influence and psychological pressure to students. Educators should give priority to guidance and enlightenment, not indoctrination and coercion, to help students think and explore life and death independently. At the same time, educators should also note that death education may cause some special emotional reactions and psychological problems, which need to be discovered and dealt with in time.
