History

Zaozhuang Teacher Training School opened in 1971. The government of Shandong Province converted it to a tertiary institute focused on the education field in 1984. It received its current name in 2004 along with a change into being a general post-secondary college.
In 2018, Zaozhuang University began allowing students to major in Esperanto. In 2023, in all of China, only Zaozhuang University still had a department dedicated to teaching Esperanto. In January 2023, that department had 24 students. That enrollment decreased after a social media influencer mocked the program the following month.
In 2012, a museum to Esperanto was established at Zaozhuang University.
