The Unique Role of Education in Promoting Common Prosperity: Theoretical Oughtness and Empirical Reality
Online published: 2023-09-27
Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism, and the promotion of common prosperity needs the help of education. Compared with other policy tools and means, education plays a unique role in promoting common prosperity in the five aspects. First, education is an essential national strategic investment to promote high-quality economic development. Second, the impact of education on social and economic development is long-term and has a complex mechanism. Third, education can adjust the income gaps three times. Fourth, education is not only the tool of development, but also the purpose of development. Finally, education can promote spiritual and material prosperity at the same time. From the perspective of historical evolution, this paper first summarizes the policy practice of promoting common prosperity through education in different historical stages in China from the economic system, distribution system and educational concept aspects. Then, from the theoretical oughtness and empirical reality aspects, this paper makes a systematic literature review on the unique functions of the above five aspects of education. Finally, this paper introspects the shortcomings of the existing research at home and abroad, and proposes six development directions of China’s future research on education promoting common prosperity.
Key words： education; common prosperity; unique role; theoretical oughtness; empirical reality
