Research On The Incorporation Of Education Into The Constitution In Modern China

If education is prosperous,the country is prosperous,and a strong education is a strong country.China has always placed education in an important position,and during the Republic of China period of social transformation and cultural identity reconstruction,the state included education in the constitution to ensure the implementation of education with compulsory power.At a time when the systematization,fairness and quality of the right to education are pursued and the work of compiling the education code is carried out,it is conducive to better promoting the development of education by analyzing the process of education into the Constitution during the Republic of China,and following the actions of the ancients and predecessors according to the actions of today’s people.Since the constitution was enacted at the end of the Qing Dynasty,there have been many constitutional documents in modern China,most of which have been written into the education clause,including three formal constitutional documents,namely the "Constitution of Bribery of Elections" in1923,the "Law of the Republic of China on the Training and Administration Period of the Republic of China" in 1931,and the Constitution of the Republic of China in 1946.In addition,during the Republican period,there were also many draft constitutions that made detailed provisions on education,promoting the improvement of education provisions in the official constitutional text.In the process of education being included in the Constitution,the provisions on education have changed from few to many,the content has changed from simple to complex,and the provisions on the purpose of education and education funding have become more and more clear and reasonable.Education can be represented in the Constitution,and the motivation cannot be ignored.During the Republican period,the trend of "education to save the country" was on the rise,and in order to consolidate the national foundation,advanced people actively promoted education into the constitution,as a favorable way to save the nation from peril and develop the country,and education was placed in an important position that had never been before.At that time,people generally believed that the Constitution was the cornerstone of building the country and the people,and education,as an important cause of a modern country,should be included in the Constitution in order to be better popularized.In order to promote the inclusion of education in the Constitution,many forward-thinking people have taken newspapers as the main position for publishing their speeches and actively expressed their views.At the same time,as an important force in promoting the development of education,the education sector also requires that education be included in the constitution to ensure its implementation with compulsory force.In order to meet the urgent expectations of social development and education at that time,when the National Assembly reopened for the first time,Congressman Wu Ilfa proposed to provide a special chapter on education in the constitution,and "education into the constitution" was officially proposed.The special chapter on education drafted by the Constitution Drafting Committee consists of seven articles,covering the purpose of education,the length of compulsory education,the guarantee of teachers,and education funding.As for the education policy,the "Way of Confucius" is stipulated in the Constitution as the education policy,and forcing the five ethnic groups to study will inevitably lead to disagreement among the five ethnic groups.Therefore,the "Way of Confucius" was excluded from the education regulations in the process of introducing education into the constitution.In the process of preparing the inclusion of education in the Constitution,the "Fifth Five-Year Constitution Grass" made great breakthroughs in compulsory education,higher education,and education funding,and had a major impact on the 1946 Constitution of the Republic of China formulated on its model.Although the private draft constitution is not a formal constitutional text,it fully demonstrates its unique value in the process of education being included in the constitution,and provides reference for the education provisions in the formal constitutional text.During the Republican period,education realized the transformation from obligation to right in the constitutional text,and the state’s responsibility to guarantee education was gradually clarified,so that the people could fight for their own educational rights and interests within the legal scope.However,the Republic of China has a large population that needs to receive education,and the constant war in the country has caused financial difficulties,and the education provisions in the constitutional text are difficult to practice.At the same time,the Provisional Provisions for the Period of Mobilization and Counter-insurgency,updated in 1947,expanded the powers of the president,reduced the people’s rights enshrined in the Constitution to a dead letter,and made it more difficult to realize the people’s right to education.Even so,the controversy and development of "education into the constitution" has formed an atmosphere in which the whole society attaches great importance to education,promoting the transformation of modern education in China,and also showing that the state is paying more and more attention to the basic rights of citizens.
