Abstract

Overseas Chinese education in Nanyang is an important part of overseas Chinese education in modern China. the Educational Review is the longest-running, most complete, and most influential periodical on education in modern China. It is one of the most important primary sources for studying the history of education in modern China. This article takes the relevant articles about the education of overseas Chinese in Nanyang published in the Educational Review as the research object, and explores the status of overseas Chinese education in Nanyang in the first half of the 20th century. It analyzes the problems existing in overseas Chinese education in Nanyang at that time in terms of language structure, teacher professionalism, textbook application, student mobility, and division of powers within the school. It further introduces the countermeasures proposed by those who were enthusiastic about overseas Chinese education in Nanyang at that time, such as unifying the Chinese language, selecting teachers, localizing textbooks, flexible learning cycles and limitations on the powers of school boards. Through the exploration of overseas Chinese education in Nanyang in the first half of the 20th century, hope it will be helpful to the development of Chinese education in Southeast Asia today.
