1. Educational modernization is a process of arming people with modern advanced educational concepts and science and technology, gradually raising educational concepts, educational contents, methods and means, school buildings and equipment to the world's modern advanced level, and cultivating new workers and high-quality talents who can adapt to international economic competition and comprehensive national strength competition. Specifically, it includes the modernization of educational concept, educational content, educational equipment, teaching staff and educational management.

2. Because the research on educational modernization has only been 30 years, many problems are still under discussion, and there are always different opinions on the definition and main contents of educational modernization. Huang, a scholar in Taiwan Province Province, China, believes that the so-called modernization of education, literally, means that education should move from tradition to modernity and keep pace with modern society. The implicit assumption of educational modernization is: education is not modern enough, education is outdated and needs to be updated. Because modern society is characterized by liberalization, democratization, diversification, humanism, science and technology and localization. Internationalization and futurization, therefore, educational modernization should take these characteristics as the direction of efforts. Yang Guoci, another scholar in Taiwan Province Province, believes that the modernization of education is a lot of new measures to meet the needs of the country and society, which makes education play an active catalytic role in the process of national construction, thus accelerating the progress of the country and the development of society.
