广东开平华侨在其家乡所进行的教育改革,是民国期间席卷全国的教育改革中极有地方特色的部分。开平华侨在外域遭受排挤,又目睹西方文明,此种经历促使他们发奋和谋求改革以自救。他们出钱出力兴办学校、图书馆、报刊等,期望通过改革家乡的教育制度,来提高人的素质,改变国家落后面貌。
The educational reform carried out by overseas Chinese in Kaiping, Guangdong Province, in their hometown, was a very local part of the educational reform sweeping across the country during the Republic of China. Kaiping overseas Chinese were marginalized and witnessed Western civilization. Such experience encouraged them to work hard and seek reform to save themselves. They have worked hard to set up schools, libraries, newspapers and periodicals and so on, hoping to improve people’s quality and reform the backwardness of their country by reforming their hometown education system.
