Abstract: The transformation of school education belongs to the category of educational reform in the late Qing dynasty. As an important part of the educational transformation，the reform in Zhili province（roughly today’s Hebei province）achieved remarkable results. Research on Zhili’s educational transformation is macroscopically descriptive in general and micro analysis is comparatively insufficient. Using the methods of historical sociology，comparative study，and quantitative history，this paper makes a study of its characteristics，achievements，and influencing factors. The study finds that this reform is comprehensive in the field of education in the late Qing dynasty Zhili and has many characteristics of the modern and contemporary education. To a certain extent，it promoted the transformation of feudal traditional education to modern education in Hebei province；Zhili’s educational scale and quality went ahead in the country and served as a transition from the traditional feudal education to modern education，which laid a foundation for the complete change of the feudal education during the period of Republic of China；the influencing factors of the achievements included the local government’s active promotion，the public’s enthusiastic participation，and effective financing measures. From this point of view，Zhili’s educational transformation is representative of regional education reform，which，therefore，deserves more exploration.
