京师同文馆的开办揭开了中国近代教育的序幕。它的设立,表明中国近代以来向西方学习开始由观念变为现实。正是由于它的“头羊”作用,才有紧随其后一批外国语言学校的创立和众多其他类型洋务学堂的涌现。京师同文馆的创办在中国教育史上有着重要的里程碑意义。 The opening of the Tong Wen Tong Wen Guan opened the prelude of modern Chinese education. Its establishment shows that China has learned from the West in the modern history from concept to reality. It is precisely because of its role as a “head sheep” that the birth of the next batch of foreign language schools and the emergence of many other types of foreign schools have taken place. The establishment of the Tong Wen Tong Wen Guan has an important milestone in the history of Chinese education.
