History

Journal People's Education was established on 1 May 1950, shortly after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, to serve as an official platform for disseminating educational policy and reform initiatives. Mao Zedong wrote an inscription for the inaugural issue: "Restoring and developing people's education is one of the important tasks at present."
From 1981 on, the journal focused on basic education and no longer covers higher education.

In 2000, People's Education received five government awards from the General Administration of Press and Publication.

In April 2010, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the founding of People's Education, State Councilor Liu Yandong wrote a congratulatory letter, encouraging People's Education to "continue to be a pioneer in the cause of education news".
In 2015, the People's Education WeChat Official Account was created.
