Education is liberation is the slogan put forward by UNESCO in the report "Learn to survive". Education is liberation, that is, to make education a force, to stimulate life, to promote people's free and harmonious development, and to make people become a person with strong personality and rich and noble spiritual life through education.

The purpose of education is to cultivate a harmonious person, not just to impart knowledge. Education should transcend utility and truly become a liberating force. Liberate students' time, space, thoughts and strength, and cultivate people who can develop independently.

Education should pay attention to students' inner world, let them feel the fun and significance of learning, and stimulate their creativity and imagination. Only in this way can education truly become a liberating force, lead people from narrow to broad, and liberate people from narrow utilitarianism.

Education is liberation, that is, to make education a force, to stimulate life, to promote people's free and harmonious development, and to make people become a person with strong personality and rich and noble spiritual life through education.

The essence of education

Education is a purposeful social activity to cultivate people, which is the essential attribute of education and the fundamental feature that distinguishes education from other things. In other words, educational activities have a purpose, so it shows one of its characteristics: consciousness. We can understand this sentence from three aspects. First, education is to cultivate people, that is to say, education is a unique social phenomenon of human beings, and there is no education phenomenon in the animal kingdom.

Education is a purposeful activity, while aimlessness, unconsciousness or instinct are not education. For example, by chance, the paper under the magnifying glass was lit in the sun, and the educated learned the physical knowledge of convex lens focusing and received education. This is not an educational activity, because it is not a purposeful process of cultivating the educated, but an aimless activity.
