A Study on the Reform of the New Schooling System in Zhejiang:The Merger of Secondary and Normal Schools in the 1920s
In 1922,Huang Renwang,commissioned by the Zhejiang Education Administrative Committee,presented a Proposal to shift the Zhejiang school districts to redefine their school districts and centralized education.Despite its failure to become a fact,the proposal had a direct impact on the Zhejiang Province's large-scale merger of middle schools and normal schools in 1923 as a new educational system reform to be planned by the Department of Education.All provincial high schools are temporarily enrolled in three-year teachers'training courses,except the Provincial No.1 Secondary School,which offers high school normal courses.The merger of normal schools,however,failed to achieve the original intention of integrating educational resources,exerting a negative impact on teachers'education with the level to be lowered and the enrollment to be scaled down.Given this,attempts were made to make two adjustments to restore the independence of normal schools by the education sector in Zhejiang respectively in 1924 and 1925,but eventually in vain.It was not until the 1930s that a substantial change took place in the independence of Zhejiang's normal education.
