Graduate School of Education at Peking University

Education faculty in Peking University has a long history. In 1902, the Imperial University of Peking (the predecessor of Peking University) set up a teacher-training college that was devoted to the preparation of pre-service teachers. In 1924, an education department was established. Several esteemed educators and university presidents such as Jiang Menglin and Hu Shih took the helms of the school. In 1949, the education department was transferred to another university in accordance with the central government's new higher education plan.

Since the 1980s, the education discipline has gradually regained the recognition in Peking University. The years 1980, 1984 and 1999 have witnessed successively the establishment of the Research Centre of Higher Education, the Institute of Higher Education, and the Institute of Economics of Education. Due to the fast-growing need for the higher education research and the training of the senior university administrators, the Graduate School of Education was established in 2000. The current Dean is Professor Yan Fengqiao, and Professor Min Weifang, President of the China Society of Education Development Strategy, is the Honorary Dean.

At present, the Graduate School of Education contains four departments, two institutes, and eight research centres. The departments are the Department of Education and Human Development, the Department of Education Economics and Administration, the Department of Education Leadership and Policy, and the Department of Educational Technology. The two institutes are the Institute of Higher Education and the Institute of Economics of Education, the latter of which is one of the Key Research Bases for Humanities and Social Science approved by China Ministry of Education. The Graduate School of Education is ranked as the 26th best such faculty globally in 2018.
