清末民初东西部新式教育推进的比较

新式教育即近代文化知识在中国的传授,起步于鸦片战争前后的东南沿海.而同一时期,广袤的西部地区则相对沉寂,无论是教会学校还是洋务学堂,多是在1891年重庆开埠通商后出现的;即使在清末新政期间及民国初年,新式学堂的开办和科学文化知识的传播也阻力重重.教育的落后,制约了经济的增长和社会近代化的步伐.

A Comparative Study of New Education between East China and West China in the Late Qing Dynasty and the Early Republic of China

New education, that is, the popularization of modern knowledge in China, began in the coastal region of southeast China during the Opium War, while in west China most church schools and West-culture schools emerged after 1891 when Chongqing had established trading ports. Even in the period of the late Qing dynasty when New Policy was carried out and the early Republic of China, the running of the new schools and the popularization of science and culture were never easy. The poor education hindered China''s economic development and social progress.
