Comments on Education Reform from 1901 to 1913 and Its Significance

The Revolution of 1911 overturned the reign of Qing Dynasty and put an end to the feudal autocratic monarchy lasting for over two thousand years in China. As a result, Chinese educational modernization process was quickened, and dramatic changes took place: 1) national-people-based new education was implemented; 2) educational mechanism was reformed; and 3) practicing teaching was improved. All of these greatly enhanced modern education development. The educational transformation at that time is still of great significance to the contemporary educational development.
