Unified textbooks are also called "general textbooks" and "departmental textbooks". Textbooks are compiled by the national education administrative department and are commonly used in schools all over the country.
In the 28th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (1902), China government promulgated the Articles of Association of Editorial Department of Shi Jing University Hall, and then formally planned to edit textbooks uniformly. In 32 years, the Department set up a publishing house, and some teaching materials were published. In the next few decades, textbooks will be customized and approved by the state.
The textbooks of three subjects of compulsory education were officially put into use in the fall semester of 20 17, and all grades were covered in the fall semester of 20 19. The textbook of "Three Subjects" for senior high school was officially put into use in the fall semester of 20 19, which has covered 20 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), and will achieve "full coverage" in all provinces by 2022.
Starting from the autumn semester in September 2022, all kinds of vocational schools in Beijing that implement secondary vocational school education will use textbooks such as ideology, politics, Chinese and history in a unified way.
People's Education Edition is the name of the textbook version compiled and published by the Institute of Curriculum Textbooks of People's Education Publishing House. The textbook of People's Education Edition covers the content from primary school to high school, and most schools are using it.
Generally speaking, people's education edition is relative to the textbooks published by other publishing houses in terms of the significance of textbooks. For example, the textbook published by Changchun Publishing House is called Changchun Edition, the textbook published by Guangdong Education Publishing House is called Guangdong Education Edition, and the textbook published by Shanghai Education Publishing House is called Shanghai Education Edition.
It can be seen that the so-called "people's education edition" refers to the "people's education edition", and the so-called "edition" refers to the textbook edition, not the "edition" of the publishing house. So "People's Education Edition" refers to the textbook version published by People's Education Publishing House.
For example, the primary and secondary education counseling newspapers in China have different versions of supplementary newspapers, such as the outline of the People's Education Edition and the new curriculum standard of the People's Education Edition. The names of these two versions are newspapers that match the textbooks published by People's Education Publishing House, and they are the names of the versions before and after the new curriculum reform.
With the deepening of the new curriculum reform, the former gradually withdrew from the historical stage, and the latter was called People's Education Edition. This set of textbooks is compiled by the Institute of Curriculum Textbooks and xx (Discipline) Curriculum Textbook R&D Center, and distributed by Xinhua Bookstore Group.
