　　The Role of Education

　　Education plays important role in many aspects of the developments in China such as in cultural field, in economical area and in the domain of science and technology. Any step forward in Chinese development needs to be pushed by talents in all walks of life and talents must be trained through education.

　　Firstly, preservation and development of culture of any nationality are in need of professional knowledge. For example, traditional culture and historic relics in China will have to keep intact and descend from one generation to another. Modern technology must be applied into this case to keep culture down. It is said that some historic relics are facing erosion without good method and techniques to keep them from being faded. Education is greatly wanted in this respect to keep them well-preserved. Secondly, advances in economic development can only be achieved by scientific management financially and ideologically. Now, economic competition becomes more and more fierce in the world with the globalization of marketing. More members who are expertise with the “game rule” in world trade and economic management are in great need. Third, science and technology develops more quickly than it did in any other historic period. Progress made in science and technology can only be achieved by education.

　　Only by stressing education can China become more powerful and more prosperous in the world. ［ 246 Words ］
