How to treat the utilitarian tendency of education?
The utilitarian tendency of education is an educational phenomenon, which hides behind educational thoughts, educational systems and educational practices, enlarges and extremes the instrumental function of education, puts instrumental rationality above value rationality, makes people's ideas and behaviors deviate from the objective laws of education and ignores the essence of educating people. This tendency has four basic characteristics: short-sighted, paying attention to immediate interests and ignoring long-term interests; One-sidedness, attaching importance to local interests and ignoring overall interests; Competitive, excessive pursuit of competition and victory; False, pursuing superficial honor and form.

Pursuing educational utility can promote the development of productive forces to a certain extent. However, if education is only used as a tool of economic growth and operated as an economic system, other social functions of education will be easily ignored, which will lead to the alienation of educational objectives, contents and evaluation and be imprisoned in the iron cage of efficiency. Therefore, it is an important goal and task to improve the system and mechanism of Lide Shu Ren to reverse the unscientific orientation of educational evaluation and resolutely overcome the stubborn diseases of only grades, only further studies, only diplomas, only papers and only hats.

In order to solve this problem, party committees at all levels should put reversing the utilitarian tendency of education and building a strong country in education on the important agenda, and establish a working pattern of unified leadership of party committees, unified management of party and government, respective responsibilities of relevant departments, and joint management of the whole society. At the same time, we should get rid of the "five virtues": only grades, only studies, only diplomas, only papers and only hats, and resolutely overcome this phenomenon. All these are aimed at better realizing the all-round development of education, cultivating more outstanding talents and making greater contributions to socialist modernization.
