Before 1949, Tianjin's education developed slowly, and by 1948, there
are only 479 schools, 156 thousand students and 7 thousand teachers in
Tianjin. The rate of school attendance among all school-agers is only
33.2%, on the contrary, the rate of illiterates among rural and urban
people is above 80%.
After 1949, when People's Republic of China was founded, Tianjin's education
grew vigorously and formed an integrated educational system from elementary
education to higher education progressively, including preschool education,
special education, adult education and cadre education. In the early of
the 90's, there are 11957 schools, 1.894 million students and 126 thousand
teachers in Tianjin. The rate of school attendance among all school-agers
reached 99.9%, and the rate of illiterates among young people dropped
to less than 0.1%.
During the 40 years from 1949 to 1991, all types of schools in Tianjin
have trained 824 thousand various qualified technicians.
Entering 90's, Tianjin stepped up reform in education and made great
progress not only in the reformation in some fields such as schools running,
schools management, socialization of rear service in schools, enrollment
system and job-assignment system for graduating students; but also in
quickening the adjustment of educational structure, improving educational
quality and conditions of running schools, optimizing the teaching stuff,
as well as perfecting the supervision system.
