Liang Qichao made suggestions on education.
1. He believes that education is the foundation of educating people and strengthening the country. Pointed out: "I now say: the foundation of reform is to cultivate talents; The prosperity of talents is to open schools; The establishment of the school is changing the imperial examination; Everything will be fine and it is changing the official system. " Later, with the deepening understanding of the social function of education, influenced by Yan Fu's thought of "inspiring people's strength, enlightening people's wisdom and promoting people's morality", Liang Qichao gradually shifted the focus of education from cultivating talents to improving the quality of all citizens. He believes that the correct purpose of education should be to "cultivate a distinctive nation, form a group, and compete among nations by self-reliance." Because the strength and survival of a country are determined by the quality of the whole people, we must start from three aspects: moral education, intellectual education and physical education, so that all people can "qualify and enjoy human rights", have the qualities of automation, autonomy, independence and self-reliance, and integrate nationality, modernity and openness, "for our people", "for the contemporary people" and "for the people of the world"

2. Change the educational concept of promoting learning through imperial examinations.

Liang Qichao's important educational proposition is to change the imperial examination, develop schools and establish a modern educational system. In On Imperial Examination, he deeply criticized the imperial examination system centered on stereotyped writing, and thought that stereotyped writing was "a major source of China's reclusive civilization for thousands of years, which made scholars fall into Semin's ignorance of ancient and modern times and five continents", but this system remained unchanged. "Smart children in the scholar-bureaucrat family are ashamed of entering school", and they are bent on pursuing fame and fortune and are unwilling to enter a new school. Therefore, he asserted: "To develop a school, it is necessary to cultivate talents to strengthen the country, but the imperial examination is the first meaning."

3. On children's education

First of all, he discussed the significance of children's education: "A hundred years of life is based on children's learning". "So, being a good teacher will make people all over the country learn, regardless of grade." He criticized China's traditional education model of children's personality development, advocated learning advanced western education methods, and emphasized the gradual progress from easy to deep and from easy to difficult. "First read, then train, then make sentences, then write, and so on." Pay attention to children's interest in learning, such as using performances, saying drum words, ballads, music and other teaching forms that children are happy to see what they know, listen to, speak easily and understand easily, and enjoy it, and "do not blindly teach".

4. On Normal Education and Female Education

He pointed out that normal education is "the foundation of group learning" and "the foundation of group learning is determined when normal schools are established."

He stressed: "If you want to change old habits and promote intellectual learning, you must take the establishment of normal schools as the first meaning." He advocated that "primary schools should be set up from the capital and all provinces and counties, supplemented by normal schools." Therefore, students in normal schools teach in primary schools, and the grades of primary school students are used to verify the grades of normal schools.
