Abstract
In our society, education exerts incomparable importance in the cultivation of humans. The modern education serves as the origin of new thoughts, culture, science and technology, a powerful lever for stimulating economic development and promoting democratization of politics, a key to ridding humans of “ideological poverty” and “spiritual crisis,” an indispensable way to “humanization” and “sublimation,” and thus it occupies a strategic position in human and social development and new cultural construction. “Saving the Nation through Science and Technology” and “Education-Based National Development” have been the strategic choices made by humans since modern times.
