试论洋务学堂对中国教育近代化的影响--以河北地区为例

洋务学堂是洋务运动的一项重要收获，是洋务派改革封建旧教育的结果，它用近代科学的声、光、电、化代替了传统的经、史、子、集，采用了班级授课的形式，培养了一批有着近代化学识的人才，推进了中国教育的近代化，也推进了中国社会的近代化。洋务学堂是中国教育近代化一出壮观的序幕。

Influences of schools of foreign affairs upon Chinese modern education--A case study in Hebei

Likewise, the new Chinese scholars are nurtured with modernized learning, thus pushing forward the Chinese educational and social modernization. So the schools of foreign affairs serve as a spectacular prelude to the Chinese modern education.
