Educational social needs?

Social demand of education: refers to the need to pay for education expenses based on the requirements of the country's future economic and social development for labor and specialized personnel when the social history develops to a certain stage. On the surface, education is a personal behavior, but educated people will make greater contributions to the stability, prosperity and progress of the whole society, and education can also bring greater benefits to the whole society. Society needs education to provide professionals and labor force for all walks of life, and the talents trained by education need to abide by, protect and develop social civilization and system. Therefore, the more socio-economic development, the greater the demand for education. Education is not only a profitable investment for individuals, but also an important investment for the whole country.

(A) the characteristics of social demand for education

1, hierarchy and gradualism. The level of social development determines the social demand for a certain quality and quantity of talents, and also affects the social demand for different levels and categories of education. Generally speaking, the demand for education in agricultural society is low, and only by receiving certain literacy education or primary education can people adapt to the needs of social productive forces. Industrial society usually requires people to have certain professional knowledge and skills, and at least need to receive secondary education to become qualified workers. Modern society requires higher quality of people, which requires people to receive a higher level of education to meet the needs of modern society. Therefore, the social demand for education is progressive layer by layer, which is obviously hierarchical and progressive.

2. stick to it. With the development of economy and science and technology, knowledge has become a potential productive force, and the education of producing and disseminating knowledge has become an important pillar of the development of modern society. If society wants to develop continuously, it must rely on all kinds of talents trained by education, and development is an eternal theme, so the demand for education in society is diverse and lasting.

3. planning. The social demand for education has its internal determinants. As a planner of social development, the government can not decide the social demand for education at will, but can plan the social demand for education. Within a certain range, it can also take administrative measures and formulate certain policies to guide the labor market, and then adjust the social demand for education.

(B) the types of educational social needs

According to the different demand subjects, the social demand of education can be divided into the following two types:

1, the educational needs of the country. The concept of educational demand is applied to the whole education system, and the demand subject is the country. The country's demand for education refers to the country's need to be able to pay for education based on its social and economic development's requirements for all kinds of labor and professionals at all levels. Since the reform and opening up, with the rapid development of social economy, the contradiction between the educational opportunities provided by the state and society and the growing demand of citizens for education, especially higher education, has become increasingly fierce. Due to political needs, the government must take effective measures to coordinate and solve this contradiction, which is conducive to the stability and sustainable development of the whole social economy. In addition, under the constraint of public budget, the government should not only increase the compensation for education costs and moderately expand the scale of education to meet people's strong educational needs, but also adopt appropriate student financial aid policies to ensure the fairness and efficiency of educational opportunities.

2. The educational needs of enterprises. The educational demand of an enterprise refers to the need for the enterprise to be able to pay the educational expenses in order to meet the requirements of continuous technological innovation. The educational needs of enterprises include hiring workers and professionals with different educational levels and types, and providing on-the-job training for on-the-job employees. The development of enterprises needs a large number of high-quality workers and various professionals to support them, and these talents are trained through education. On the other hand, in order to improve labor productivity, enterprises must constantly improve the technical level of workers, which requires enterprises to provide on-the-job training for employees on a regular basis, so that workers and managers can constantly learn and update their knowledge in time, thus enterprises invest in education and form a demand for education.
