Higher education plays an increasingly important role in economic development. On the one hand, education plays a role in promoting the optimization of human capital for economic development. It plays a positive role in giving birth to science and technology and directly creating wealth. On the other hand, inappropriate scale and speed of educational development, unreasonable educational structure, outdated educational content and conservative teaching methods will have a negative impact on economic development. Therefore, it is even more important to correctly understand the dual role of education on economic development and correctly handle the relationship between education and economic development. \x0d\\x0d\ The positive role of education in economic development is due to the special importance of human factors in economic development. Education plays a role in economic development by cultivating, changing and improving people. \x0d\ (1) Higher education promotes the optimization of human capital\x0d\ The so-called human capital refers to the knowledge, skills and abilities condensed in workers. This ability is a major factor in economic growth and is a type of capital with economic value. Therefore, Schultz believes that the growth of the contemporary economy and the composition of national wealth are mainly the result of human capital. Education plays an important role in promoting the optimization of human capital. \x0d\ In the modern production process, technological transformation and equipment updating must be completed by scientific and technical talents applying scientific and technological achievements to the production process: rich natural resources and advanced production tools must play their role through the labor of high-quality workers ; High-level production and economic efficiency must be achieved by the management activities of a large number of high-level managers. The quality of workers' basic labor quality, the level of science and technology and education of technicians, and the strength of management capabilities of managers depend to a large extent on the degree and quality of their education. Because education cultivates people's labor ability and transforms potential productivity into actual productivity; education can improve the quality and quality of the labor force, "enabling it to acquire the skills and techniques of a certain labor department and become a developed and specialized labor force"; education It can change the shape of the labor force and train a simple labor force into a complex labor force. Turn a physical worker into a mental worker. Education can fully develop the workforce and "enable young people to quickly become familiar with the entire production system." "Let them rotate from one production department to another according to the needs of society or their own hobbies'\x0d\" In short, education, as an activity to improve the quality of the labor force, improves the mental quality of workers in a complex way , cultural quality, professional skills quality and health quality, so that the moral, intellectual, physical development level and creativity of workers can be comprehensively improved. The development of the overall economy is only the fruit of the improvement of the quality of workers\x0d \ (2) Education promotes economic development through the production of science and technology. \x0d\ The assertion that science and technology is the primary productive force clearly explains the social and economic value of science and technology in modern society. The primary productive force, then education is the mother machine of the primary productive force and an important means and way to produce science and technology. Education plays the role of reproducing science and technology by transmitting and accumulating science and technology. Science and technology have the characteristics of inheritance. They are not only the products of a certain historical era, but the crystallization of the entire historical development process of human society. They are the result of human beings' continuous accumulation, inheritance and creation. In the process of human society's development, the inheritance and accumulation of science and technology are realized through education. Education processes existing science and technology and turns it into simplified scientific and technological knowledge and scientific methods, which are mastered and inherited by the new generation. They can be passed on from generation to generation, continuously enriched, and provided for new scientific inventions and technologies. Innovation lays a solid foundation. \x0d\ Education, especially higher education, plays the role of reproducing science and technology by creating and inventing new science and technology. Higher education institutions have relatively concentrated scientific research strength, relatively complete subject categories, and sufficient research reserves for academic thought. Active and rich in information sources, it has become an important aspect of scientific research \x0d\ In addition, as science and technology progress, its application content and direct use form in the production process are internal factors of the economic process, and the economic benefits of science and technology are affected. There are constraints from various internal economic factors such as organizational structure, motivation, information, investment, research and development. Therefore, to exert the economic benefits of science requires improving the process of economic activities and creating an internal atmosphere that is conducive to the economic benefits of science and technology.
Investment in education will stimulate scientific and technological progress, cultivate more qualified workers, create an environment conducive to the benefits of science and technology, and promote economic development. \x0d\ (3) The direct contribution of colleges and universities to my country’s economic development \x0d\ People have always believed that. The contribution of colleges and universities to the country and society is to cultivate talents. However, in contemporary society, the connotation and functions of colleges and universities have undergone profound changes, and the direct contribution of colleges and universities to national economic construction has become increasingly prominent. In terms of scientific research, during the "Ninth Five-Year Plan" period, colleges and universities undertook more than 70% of the National Natural Science Foundation projects and about half of the key projects. They undertook 1/2 of the national "863" plan and "973" projects. Around 3, it is the successful launch and recovery of the world-famous Shenzhou 5 spacecraft. Harbin Institute of Technology alone provided five key technologies for it. In terms of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, it also shows that colleges and universities are directly at the forefront of high technology. Advantages Taking university science and technology parks as an example, due to the collection and integration of various innovation elements and resources, the construction of university science and technology parks has achieved remarkable results: as of the end of October 2002, the national university science and technology park has attracted a total of 2 9.7 billion yuan; a total of 1,860 scientific and technological achievements have been transformed, and 1,934 patents have been granted, and 4,16 new products have been developed; 1,334 entrepreneurs have returned from studying abroad and created approximately 1 00,000 jobs. In terms of scale efficiency of school-run enterprises, by the end of 2002, there were 2216 technology enterprises established by colleges and universities in my country, of which 36 had total assets of 94. 7.23 billion yuan, achieved sales revenue of 72.0 billion yuan, and achieved a net profit of 2.537 billion yuan. As a new force in the field of science and technology in China, it is becoming a new force. Highlights of Economic Growth By 2010, the number of students in higher education at all levels across the country will reach 27 million, including 1.8 million graduate students. The contribution of colleges and universities to the country's economic construction and social progress will be even greater. Highlight\x0d\\x0d\ The rapid development of higher education has had a positive and significant impact on China's economic and social development, and is one of the important factors leading to such rapid economic growth in our country. The following 1 9 7 8 ~ 1 9 9 are used. The relationship between my country's higher education population ratio and per capita GDP in 8 years is used to prove the above conclusion. According to the data in the table, the higher education population ratio is the white variable. The per capita GDP is the dependent variable and a scatter plot is used to approximate the higher education population ratio. It has an exponential relationship with per capita GDP. Using the education-to-population ratio as the independent variable and the logarithm of per capita GDP as the dependent variable, we use a linear regression to establish a mathematical model between the two variables. From this, we further prove through mathematical models. It is clear that the higher education population ratio and per capita GDP are closely related. The year-by-year growth of the higher education population ratio and per capita GDP shows that our country attaches great importance to higher education; on the other hand, it also shows that with the popularization of higher education, Our country's economic strength will further grow rapidly.
