Education is the foundation for enriching people's lives, supporting social survival, developing national economy and livelihoods, and sustaining the life of a nation. It is particularly important to note that research worldwide has proven that educational development can promote income equalization, reduce poverty, and drive economic growth. It is a development strategy that benefits all parties and is easier to implement for promoting social fairness and equality than redistributing other social wealth—such as land and capital. In any society, education is the core mechanism for establishing shared civic values and building basic political identity, as well as the fundamental measure to enhance social spiritual civilization and political civilization.
