What influence does culture have on education?

There is a close relationship between education and culture. Without education, any cultural characteristics or forms are difficult to continue. Education and culture are interdependent and mutually restrictive. The influence of culture on education is mainly manifested in the following aspects:

(1) Culture itself has a great educational function. A person was born in a specific culture, from sensibility to rationality, from survival to development, from aesthetics to emotion, all of which are influenced by the specific culture.

(2) Culture directly affects the course content. The most direct influence of spiritual culture on education is the content of school curriculum (various disciplines), which is a part of culture. It can directly transplant a new idea, new understanding and new scientific achievements into the teaching content. The choice of teaching content is not completely restricted by the level of economic development and national wealth, but also directly related to cultural development.

(3) "Campus culture" is a potential and stable educational factor. School education is a cultural form, so what we often call "campus culture" is a potential, stable and continuous educational factor. School order, environmental sanitation, the relationship between teachers and students, the appearance modification of teachers and students, and even the teaching attitude and feelings of students all have important influences on the formation of students' personality.

In addition, people's educational concept is related to the whole social concept, which is actually culture. In a word, the domination and influence of culture on education is direct and holistic, and the research on education must pay attention to the influence of culture on education.
