Some old scholars have criticized the girls' schools established in various places, and how can a school be established to teach women's knowledge if a girl is not talented, and this is a serious violation of moral norms.

Unlike these old pedants, some middle-class families and even wealthy people applauded the establishment of girls' schools, especially those with daughters in the family, and welcomed the emergence of girls' schools.

Unlike the first two, the largest group in society, the common people at the bottom have no views on the establishment of girls' schools, they will let their sons go to school, but they will not let their daughters go to school, sons are to pass on the lineage, daughters will eventually marry out, married daughters are like water spilled out, ordinary people can only say that their daughters are general, what good things are given to sons first, and the rest are given to daughters, the Chinese nation has always had the tradition of "preference for sons over daughters", which cannot be easily changed in a short period of time.

What's more, it also takes money to get an education, although you don't need to pay any fees to go to school, but paper and pen need money, and the cost of paper and pen is also a lot of money for those people who make a living from farming.

In the "Second Five-Year Plan" education project, the royal set aside a fee in the city. Girls' schools have been established in the districts of the county, ranging from one to a maximum of five in each city, to ensure that the girls' schools can reach the county.

The establishment of a girls' school is part of the "Second Five-Year Plan" education project, and before preparing this plan, Yan Xueyi had already taken into account various reasons in society, and it would be very troublesome to get all girls into school.

The first thing to consider is that men and women can't go to the same school, even boys and girls, in the tradition of the Chinese nation, women can not have too much contact with other men before or after marriage, once they have too much contact with other men, it will attract rumors, even if nothing happens, it will make the two families feel humiliated, and women often commit suicide in grief and anger.

Women need to be conservative, but there can't be no situation where they don't have any communication with other men, but feudal etiquette has a deep impact on the Chinese nation, and it can only be changed slowly by time.

So in the end, instead of co-educational, separate girls' schools were established for girls to be educated.

The second thing that needs to be considered is the number of students, "women are virtuous if they are not talented", "married daughters are like spilled water", "preference for sons" and other factors affect a large part of the country, they will not let their daughters go to education, unless the empire issues compulsory measures, so that women must receive education, and if they do not receive education, their families will be subject to unless, but at present, the empire is not suitable for issuing compulsory measures, and coercion means that it needs to be passively accepted, because coercive measures will produce some other undesirable effects, Therefore, the empire generally does not issue coercive measures.

If no coercive measures are issued, there will be fewer women receiving education, and finally Yan Xueyi decided to be in the city. Girls' schools should be established in counties, ranging from one to five in each city, to ensure that girls' schools can reach the county.

The third is the problem of teachers in girls' schools, there will definitely be no male teachers in girls' schools, and even girls' schools will only have women, not any men.

However, there were very few female intellectuals in the empire, and even fewer were able to become teachers in girls' schools, which was a reason to limit the number of girls' schools.

These are the three main reasons why all women are not allowed to receive education, and there are many other small reasons that will not be listed one by one.

In fact, there is a big contradiction in the feudal society, many people think that "women are not talented is virtuous", but the magnates hope that they can have a knowledgeable, talented and beautiful woman, which produces a serious contradiction, on the one hand, do not want women to receive education, do not understand anything, on the other hand, but ask women to be a little more intelligent, how can women be talented without education?

In ancient times, women could not enter the school to study, nor could they ask teachers to teach knowledge, so the way for women to learn knowledge could only be taught by their parents themselves, most of the time it was taught by their mothers, and the father held his own identity, and was deeply influenced by feudal etiquette, so he would not teach knowledge to his daughter.

After the founding of the Chinese Empire, the times have changed completely, although the influence of feudal etiquette cannot be completely eliminated, but its influence is also slowly decreasing, the newly born rich people want their children to learn more knowledge, and the middle class also has enough money for their children to receive education.

It's just that there was no place for women to receive education before, and they could only teach knowledge at home, and how much knowledge could they know?

Now that girls' schools have emerged specifically to teach girls, the daughters of the wealthy and the middle class finally have a place to receive formal education.

The woman whose family agrees to receive education is happy, and the woman whose family does not agree to receive education is very distressed, but at home, the parents are the elder, and the woman can only listen to the opinions of her parents, and cannot resist, they can only silently hope that one day they can also receive education.

The advent of girls' schools has also turned the former schools into boys' schools, with girls' schools currently only having primary schools and secondary schools waiting for three years to appear.

In fact, there is not much difference between the education of girls' schools and boys' schools, and the compulsory mathematics, Chinese, history, physical education, general studies, optional art (calligraphy and painting), music, and new etiquette are added.

The only difference that can be made is in sports and etiquette.

……

The school year is about to start on September 1, the registration of girls' schools has ended, and the enrollment situation of girls' schools in various places is relatively average, and the number of students enrolled has not reached the limit of the school's tolerance.

The official opening of the school on September 1 has marked a significant change in the education sector in the Empire compared to before.
