This study aims at analyzing the “is─ought” problem with John Searle’s theory of speech act and its entailment of education. Through the logical inference with “institutional fact” and “illocutionary act”, Searle argues that the great gap between “is” and ‘ought” can be solved. Searle’s theory has two entailments of education. Firstly, the educators can establish together the norms and behavior models which are rational and valid and prescriptive. Then, the pupils are willing to follow them. Secondly, through Searle’s theory we recognize that “fact proposition” and “value proposition” can not be distinguished absolutely, and they both are more rational than emotional, hence the moral education can be rational discourse, not only arbitrary control.
