#What is the purpose of education# Personally believe that it is to break the class solidification, open up the channels of ascension, improve social vitality, and serve the overall situation of social development.
Before the Sui and Tang dynasties, the nine-pin zhongzheng system of electing officials, educational resources were "seven sects and five surnames", when officials rely on family background layer by layer recommendation, talent is monopolized by the big family, the emperor employs people from the "seven sects and five surnames" pushed from the people pushed, the imperial power is restricted by the big family. Xue Yuanchao, the prime minister of the Sheng Tang Dynasty, once sighed: "Those who regret in this life have not been able to marry a woman with five surnames!" ”
The emergence and development of the examination system has broken the educational monopoly of the "seven sects and five surnames", and the landlord class and the ordinary people who have been lifted out of poverty also have the opportunity to make their children and grandchildren become the ruling class through the establishment of private schools and ask "tutors" to become the ruling class (refer to the development history of Li Hongzhang's fathers). More people outside the clan can become "state administrators" through the dividends brought by education, and the source of talents in the ruling class has increased, and the level of social management has been improved.
Over the past 40 -odd years of reform and opening up, New China has made world-renowned achievements in social development, which are inseparable from high-quality talents.
How did the talent come about? It is the continuous educational reform, the "college entrance examination restored in 77 years" is the "nine-year compulsory education implemented in 1986", it is the "university enrollment expansion that began in 1999", etc. Groups of children born in rural areas have been able to leave the yellow land through education, enter cities, townships, government agencies, schools, factories, and their children continue to receive education and continue to branch out...
Therefore, I personally believe that the ultimate purpose of education is to break the class solidification, improve social vitality, and serve social development.
