The Sui Dynasty made some innovations in school setting. There are five central government schools and county schools in local government schools, but they have not formed a comprehensive and stable school system.
In the Tang Dynasty, not only the official school was restored, but also it developed greatly, and gradually formed a comprehensive and stable school system. Local official schools send students to central official schools, so that local official schools can connect with central official schools. Private schools coexist with official schools, and private schools undertake the educational tasks of basic education and professional education. In educational administration, official learning is the backbone of education, and private learning is an important supplement to official learning. The formation of this ancient school education system had an important impact on the education in the late feudal society of China.
(2) Establish an educational administrative system of hierarchical management.
Before the Sui Dynasty, the central government did not set up a special organization to manage school education, and Taichang Temple was in charge of the school. Since the Sui Dynasty, the central official school has been separated from Taichang Temple, and changed from an affiliated institution to an independent institution. Later, Guo Zi School was renamed imperial academy, which is both an institution of higher education and an administrative organ of education. Since then, the educational administrative system of hierarchical management has been implemented.
(3) internal teaching management system and rules and regulations.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the past regulations and practices of school teaching were sorted out, and new regulations were made according to the actual needs, so that all aspects such as admission qualification, school etiquette, professional teaching, performance assessment, violation punishment and vacation treatment were brought into the legal track, and then school teaching could be managed according to the legal system.
(4) the importance of professional education
Before the Sui Dynasty, the central official school paid more attention to the teaching of the Five Classics, but ignored science and technology, and there was no independent specialty to train talents. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, specialties such as arithmetic and medicine were set up to train specialized talents. Judging from the development process of the education system, this is the first practical education.
(5) School education should be combined with administrative agencies and affairs departments.
The central state administrative organs set up some affairs departments to perform certain service responsibilities. In order to carry out service work, these specific departments have gathered a group of professionals and have the necessary material equipment. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, these departments were entrusted with the dual tasks of providing professional services for the government and cultivating professional talents. Students who study under such conditions can better combine professional knowledge learning with professional practice.
