19 12, Cai Yuanpei was appointed as the first education chief of the provisional government of the Republic of China, and published the Opinions on New Education. Starting from China's national conditions, he absorbed the experience of modern education in Europe, America and Japan, and put forward the educational policy with modern significance for the first time. The new educational policy includes military national education (military and sports), utilitarian education (intellectual education), civic moral education (moral education), world outlook education and aesthetic education, which constitutes the core of Cai Yuanpei's educational thought and is the overall guiding ideology of Cai Yuanpei's educational reform. In order to ensure the implementation of new educational ideas and policies in modern times, Cai Yuanpei, after abolishing various feudal educational laws and regulations in the Qing Dynasty, formulated new educational laws and school regulations with modern progressive significance. During his tenure in the Ministry of Education, he successively promulgated the Interim Measures for General Education, the Provisional Curriculum Standards for General Education and the Official Order of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China. The main contents are as follows: (1) Reform the education system and replace the old with the new; (2) Revising textbooks and abolishing "classics"; (3) Strengthen general education and attach importance to industrial and military sports; (4) Advocating the development of social education. In addition, Cai Yuanpei also attaches great importance to the significance of sending overseas students in his educational practice. He believes that sending overseas students is one of the important ways and means to improve the cultural and scientific level of China. Therefore, he started by paying attention to improving the quality of selecting international students and asked schools at all levels to attach importance to the dispatch of international students.
