Kang Youwei believes that in order to improve education, we should first abolish stereotyped writing, first recruit scholars by keeping close to current affairs, and then further seek a thorough reform of the imperial examination. Secondly, schools should generally be built. In his book "Please Run a School at a Discount" played during the reform, he called for "the most important thing is to run a school widely today". He specifically introduced the situation of studying in Europe, America and Japan, and proposed that eight-year graduation from France and Germany is a compulsory (compulsory) education stage. "Those who don't enter school will be punished by their parents." The establishment of county middle schools is to deepen the teaching of various subjects and learn foreign languages. Establish a special institution of higher learning or university of the provincial government and set up a university hall as the highest institution of higher learning in the capital. He also mentioned that specific matters such as establishing normal schools, dividing subjects, compiling textbooks and formulating articles of association were adopted in the Hundred Days Reform.

Third, the ideal education system in Datong Book

Datong Book is Kang Youwei's work of conceiving an ideal society. 1884 was completed and was not published until the reform failed. Datong Book contains a complete and systematic blueprint of the ideal education system, which embodies the vision of equality, universal education, reasonable teaching and healthy development of people in Datong world.

After the child was born, he was transferred to a nursery and separated from his mother for "public education". Second, when children enter school at the age of 6, they should "give priority to physical fitness, supplemented by enlightenment", do less homework and play more games, and at the same time "give priority to moral education". Third, in middle school, students enter school at the age of 65,438+065,438+0. Kang Youwei thinks that middle school is the foundation of lifelong learning. Therefore, physical education, intellectual education and moral education cannot be neglected, but moral education is still the most important. Fourth, universities recruit 16-year-old middle school graduates. The university is majoring in science, so "after cultivating one's morality and keeping fit, we should focus on enlightening the mind". Individuals are free to choose their major and give full play to their talents. Universities should pay special attention to experiments, so they must have their own factories, farms and shops.
