The relationship between education and economic

The relationship between education and economy, in general, education is determined and constrained by economy, and education has an important counteraction to economy. With the development of modern society, education and economy are getting closer. On the one hand, the development and progress of education increasingly inseparable from development of economy and production; on the other hand, development of economy and production also increasingly inseparable from development and progress of education.

Economic impact of education on macro level

On macro level, value of education is shows the development relationship between education and social or individual. It is expressed as specific on two types, firstly, value relation between education and social; secondly, value relation of between education and development of individual.

On the one hand, knowledge economies enhance value of knowledge in economic development. Knowledge strong correlation between society and individual survival and development. When society has knowledge, its productivity can be improved and promote economic development;

individual have knowledge will get better conditions of survival and development. Therefore, the value of knowledge is no longer an abstract concept, but the real conditions of material life, is the real comprehensive national strength. This has strengthened the social and individual demand for knowledge. Education is an important mean for production of knowledge, dissemination of knowledge, satisfy the social and individual needs of knowledge. Thus, the value of education has enhanced become an important foundation of development of knowledge economy. On the other hand, knowledge economy requires increase level of development of intelligence, will strengthen individual needs of their own intellectual development. Education is the crucial way to develop intellectual and cultivate ability, hence, its value may be raised also. At the macro level of enhance the value of education reflected in education practice, it presents that education will attract more attention, no matter whether society or individual, will pay attention to investment in education, education has become the main choice of people to acquire knowledge, develop intelligence, education strategies will be further strengthened.

Requirements of people`s intelligence on knowledge production, distribution and use are different, therefore, development of education will be obvious differentiation. Education will become more specialized, emphasizing elite education and attention to the cultivation of genius to adapt knowledge production and knowledge innovation. Compatible with the allocation and use of knowledge, education will become more universal and will focus on the spread of education. Knowledge production and use are aimed at the economic benefits, therefore, specialized and universal of education will be closely linked to economic development. But, knowledge to enhance economic value of knowledge. Requirements on people`s intellectual development also to achieve the economic benefits. To pursuit economic interests is the nature of knowledge economy. Therefore, on the value of macro educational, for social subjects, it emphasizes economy value of education, for individual subjects, it stresses survival value of education. This is reflected in educational practice may be two-sidedness: firstly, exaggerate the aspect of economic attributes of education, for example, unilateral pursue of economic interests of education or exaggerate emphasis on the production and imparting of economic benefits of knowledge, ignore natural of political cultural of education, thus, education may become

sidedness under knowledge economy. Secondly, emphasis on individual innovation ability for economic purposes, while ignoring comprehensive development. Quality of population closely related to development of economic, innovation of knowledge depends on quality of human

innovation, but not any quality of people can bring economic benefits. Therefore, develop overall quality of human not in compliance with the principles of economic interest under pursuit of the best economic interests, might contribute to the limited educational resources are only used for cultivation innovation capability of economy-related, ignoring the development of other quality.

Economic impact of education on micro level

The educational value of micro-level shows the value of relationship between human and human and human and objects within the education system. Value relationship of man and man express as relationship of educators and students. In this relationship, it is more important when student as a part of value subject, on micro level, all educational activities are in order to achieve the development of student. Thus, the relationship of student to be value subject, two changes in the knowledge economy would be transform to student pursuit new knowledge and demand for the cultivation of creative ability. Educators to meet this need of students should to renewing the idea of education, develop their own intellectual, and self-improvement. Reflected in the educational practice, the future of educators will become a new image what combination of scholar, researcher and educator. Lifelong learning, continued innovation become the basic beliefs of future educators.

The value of relationship between persons and things, knowledge-based economy will have a profound impact, knowledge economy emphasizes the production and use of knowledge,

emphasis on technology, operational knowledge, this bring us to two direct results: the one hand, knowledge is produced continuously, the amount of knowledge is increasing; the other hand, knowledge quickly become obsolete, any kind of new knowledge will soon be replaced by

knowledge of the other updates if you do not put them to work, they also lose the necessity of the existence and vitality. This will led to two educational impact. First, request to continue update the content of educational and curriculum. The educational content is constantly update, and even quickly update, it will become an important feature of the education development. Education is facing value option of stability and update. People will change concept of development of education, tend to update pursuit of value. Second, in front of excessive

information, education content may face the predicament of confused. Teachers and students are constantly on the run in a variety of information, make education difficult to explore. Therefore, the choice of educational content, curriculum reform will continue to be critical and problem in the education reform.

Adjustment of economic structure.

By the adjustment of economic structure, China`s economic development on a new level, not just expansion of the low level of total GDP. B. Speed up the process of urbanization.

In order to promote the urbanization, the policy of restrictions on farmers into the city should to change, and at the same time to improve the system, strengthen management, maintaining social stability. C. To development of the western.

D. To achieve sustainable development. It is include population and environment. E. Improve the market economic system. F. Develop an open economy. G. Improving living standards.

Conclusion

The scale and speed of development of education is directly proportional to the level of socio-economic development. The development of education must have a certain material conditions, it include amount of manpower, material and financial resources. The scale of the development of education is expanding with the development of productive forces.

Many years ago, due to the low level socio-economic development, low level of skills in the production not ask much for cultural and technical workers, producer of labor required

technology can be obtained in the direct labor practice, no need to take more formal education. Into modern society, with using the advent of new large-scale machine in productivity industry, production efficiency, make the entire economy increasing, community to provide more and more material conditions, therefore, society to provide more money to do education, make the scale and speed of education development to expand and grow. Increasingly high production of scientific and technological content, need a large number of trained workers, demand of people accept education is increasing, this drive scale of school education increasing, accelerating the speed of development of school education.

Overall, the countries with higher level of economic development, also relatively high proportion of education funding in the total output value.

The scale of education in any society or country, not by the subjective decision of the people`s good intentions, it is by the level of the social productive forces.

A word, different national economic level of development determines the level of education of nationals, we should vigorously develop the economy, at same time reform and improve the educational system and educational model to achieve harmonious development of economic education.
