Although the Westernization Education run by the Westernization School has a certain feudal nature and external dependence, it reformed the traditional feudal education for the first time, initiated the modern education in China, disseminated scientific and technological knowledge, created a social atmosphere, trained the first batch of scientific and technological personnel and managers in China, and promoted the leap and development of modern education in China. Its positive role cannot be ignored.
