Hubei Provincial Institute of Education

In 1930, Mr. Huang Jianzhong, director of Hubei Provincial Department of education, began to prepare for the construction of Hubei Provincial Rural normal college, which is located in Baoji nunnery in Wuchang.

In 1931, Hubei rural normal university was established as Hubei Provincial College of education. At the beginning of the college, there were two departments and one subject, namely, agricultural education department, rural education department and rural normal specialized subject. In 1932, the public education specialty was added, and in 1935, the agricultural education specialty was added. Each department is a four-year undergraduate course, and each specialized subject is a two-year junior college.

In the first half of 1936, under the pressure of the authorities, the college was forced to close down.

 

National Hubei Teachers College

In the autumn of 1941, the college was officially restored, and its site was Wufeng mountain in Enshi.

In the autumn of 1942, the Hubei provincial government invited Chen Yousong to serve as the president of Southwest Associated University through Li Siguang and others. In the same year, on the basis of the original, the school set up a one-year short training class for teachers majoring in history and geography, a class for music and a class for physical education, and an affiliated middle school and a primary school.

After Chen Yousong returned to Chongqing in the spring of 1944, he called on the national government to reorganize Hubei Provincial Institute of education into a national university. Li Siguang supported this. The Ministry of education of the national government adopted the opinions of all parties and changed Hubei Institute of education into a national Hubei Normal University, also known as "National Teacher", which was subordinate to the Ministry of education of the national government. Wang Dianji was the first president.

In May 1948, the national teacher returned to Wuhan, and the students borrowed from the Affiliated Hospital of national Wuhan University; in September and October, the school moved to Hanguang middle school, Yizhong Zhongshan Avenue, tangjiadun City, Hankou.

On July 16, 1949, the cultural and Educational Department of the Central South Military Control Commission took over the national division. Because the national division did not have a fixed school site at that time, it was suspended. All the school's products were handed over to Hubei Education College, which was established after the National Normal University.
