Abstract:Lenin's critique on the populists' "Rural School" plan suggests repayment of tuition through labor, which reveals the scientific connotation of the integration of education and productive labor. He points out that this principle is the only way for Marxism to achieve human liberation and comprehensive development under the conditions of modern industrial production, and it holds significant meaning for both social progress and individual development. Considering the actual conditions of Soviet Russia, Lenin implements comprehensive technical education as a concrete measure to apply this principle. Lenin's thoughts on the integration of education and productive labor have significant guiding implications for conducting labor education in the new era. Hence, it is essential to explore how this idea relates to correctly understanding labor education, advancing reforms in vocational education, and exploring various forms of integrating education with productive labor in light of the new characteristics of contemporary development.
