How it works

This is a complex sentence that begins with an introductory conjunction phrase, '因此可以说' (Therefore, it can be said that...), which sets up a conclusion. The main clause '教育是国家发展的基石' (education is the cornerstone of national development) then states the core argument, using '是' (to be) to link the subject '教育' (education) with the predicate '国家发展的基石' (the cornerstone of national development). The structure '...的基石' is a common way to express something as a fundamental foundation.
