Abstract In the period of New Politics of the Qing Dynasty,there was a wave of education reform which centered on the establishment of the modern 'new education system'.In this movement,the reform of education policy was one of the important aims.The new education policy was implemented by means of setting up new administrative organizations,stipulating rules and regulations for modern education and opening new schools.The central and local Student Affairs Offices were founded with clear responsibilities and administrative affiliations,giving an effective impetus to schools newly established all over the country.The Ministry of Education established later played the role of coordination and supervision of those new schools.In addition,the abolishment of Imperial Examinations further cleared the way for the flourishing of the New Education Movement in the late Qing Dynasty.An exploration into the limitations of those policies and the conflicts of interests among various social groups in the reform can effectively reveal many problems,providing profound historical insights for the present-day research.
