The simultaneous development of five educations is an ideological proposition that can not be ignored by educational thinkers. Five educations at the same time is the first educational thought in the history of modern education in China that fully embodies the unity of social value and human development value and pursues human freedom and harmonious development.
Background: Shortly after the victory of the Revolution of 1911, the Nanjing Provisional Government was put forward when it was just established. At that time, education in China was at an important turning point in history. With the victory of the Revolution of 1911, thousands of years of feudal rule in China was overthrown. However, the feudal education reform in the field of education has just started, only some specific temporary regulations have been promulgated, and there is still a lack of clear educational guiding ideology and new educational purposes. In order to make the bourgeoisie carry out the feudal education reform deeply and healthily, it is urgent to determine an educational purpose that reflects the requirements of the bourgeoisie as soon as possible under the guidance of a unified educational thought, so the idea of simultaneous development of five educations was systematically put forward.
