The Sinicization,Secularization,and National Cohesion of Ba'an Huaxi School in the Movement to Reclaim Education Rights
In 1924,during the peak of the nationwide opposition to Christianity and its missionary ac-tivities in China,as well as the imperialist use of religion for cultural aggression,the launch of the move-ment to reclaim the right to education of all foreigners in China was of great significance.This movement forced the Republic of China government to issue a series of laws and regulations on private schools such as church schools operating in China between 1925 and 1929.For this reason,in 1927,the West Kangba'an(Batang)West China School established a board of directors,applied for school accreditation from the local government,renamed it as the"Ba'an West China Christian Private Primary School".It appointed Chinese as the principal,formulated the school's articles of association,and made improvements in school manage-ment,faculty allocation,curriculum setting,and teaching,leading to the localization and secularization of education.This marks that the school,as part of China's private education system,together with Ba'an County Primary School,constitutes the local education system.This is not only an important achievement of the movement to reclaim the right to education in the southwestern ethnic areas,but also a microcosm of the significant turning point in the development of modern Chinese school education.This typical case fully demonstrates that the revocation of the right to education has enhanced national cohesion.
