清末督抚与女子留学教育的发展——以端方行为为中心

Governors in the Late Qing Dynasty and the development of female overseas education——Taking Duan Fang for an example

留学教育在清末有了突破性的发展,但是女子留学教育则发展缓慢,这与清政府长期对其持消极态度有直接关系。从政府官员角度而论,只有少数人将发展女子留学教育列入自己的政务范畴,比如长期担任地方督抚的端方。以女子留学教育为例,从政府作为的角度探讨清末督抚对待新政改革的态度及作为,评析其影响,有利于我们更好地认识清末新政改革的运行。

Overseas education made a great breakthrough in its development in the Late Qing Dynasty. However, not much attention has been paid to female overseas education,which was directly related to the Qing government＇ s long-term passive attitude. As far as government officials were concerned,only few of them considered de- veloping female overseas education to be their political affair and Duan Fang,who had been a local governor for a long time,was one of them. A study of the attitude of governors toward new policies and reform as viewed from government conduct by taking female overseas education as an example and an analysis of its effect is helpful to making us better understand the operation of new policies and reform in the Late Qing Dynasty.
