What is the initial intention of education?

In order to cultivate an all-round person and make him a useful person to society.

According to the investigation of local life, the initial intention of education can be traced back to ancient times. Since Confucius advocated the concept of "education", its goal has been to cultivate a comprehensive person so that he can make positive contributions to society. The initial intention of education includes the following aspects:

First, cultivate moral character: education is not only to impart knowledge, but more importantly to cultivate students' moral character. Only when a person has excellent moral character can he become a useful person to society. Therefore, the primary task of education is to cultivate students' moral quality and make them become citizens with social responsibility.

Second, promote all-round development: the initial intention of education is not only to satisfy the transfer of knowledge, but also to promote the all-round development of students. People not only need to learn knowledge, but also need to develop other abilities, such as creativity, communication ability and teamwork ability. The goal of education should be to cultivate a person with all-round development and make him have multiple abilities in his future life and work.

Third, inherit culture: education also shoulders the mission of inheriting culture. Culture is the soul of a country and a nation, and it represents people's beliefs, values and ways of thinking. Through education, we can pass on our own culture to the next generation, so that they can understand and respect their own cultural traditions.

Fourth, cultivate innovative spirit: With the continuous development of society, the demand for talents is also changing. What modern society needs is talents with innovative spirit and creativity. Therefore, one of the tasks of education is to cultivate students' innovative consciousness and creativity, and let them learn to think and solve problems independently. In a word, the initial purpose of education is to cultivate an all-round person and make him a useful person to society. Through education, we can cultivate students' morality, ability, cultural accomplishment and innovative spirit, constantly improve their own quality and make positive contributions to social development.
