History

Central Institute for Nationalities

Central University for Nationalities was formerly known as the Institute for Nationalities, which was established in September 1941 in Yan'an. The Yan'an Institute of Nationalities has the main task of training cadres of ethnic minorities and cadres of Han Chinese engaged in ethnic work.

Soon after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong gave instructions in December 1949 to train a large number of minority cadres in the light of the development of the situation, especially the need for national construction, regional ethnic autonomy, the realization of the ****same program and the implementation of the Party's ethnic policy.

Central Institute for Nationalities

In June 1950, the Central People's Government decided to establish a new type of university, the Central Institute for Nationalities, in Beijing, and a group of comrades who had worked at the Yan'an Institute for Nationalities in those years were deployed to carry out preparations for the establishment of the institute. In November of the same year, Premier Zhou Enlai presided over the 60th Political Affairs Meeting of the State Council, which approved the Trial Program for Cultivating Ethnic Minority Cadres and the Trial Program for Preparing for the Central Institute for Nationalities proposed by the Central Committee for Ethnic Minority Affairs. [3]

On June 11, 1951, the Central Institute for Nationalities officially opened. Zhu De, vice-president of the Central People's Government, and Dong Biwu, vice-premier of the State Council, made important speeches at the opening ceremony.

From June 1950 to the end of 1951, the school's site was temporarily located in the city's Guozijian, with more than 280 faculty members and more than 260 trainees in two training classes for military and political cadres and Tibetan language classes.

From 1952 to May 1966, the school began to formalize its operation and gradually developed into a liberal arts school of higher education. in 1952, when the state carried out the restructuring of the faculties and departments, the Sociology Department of Tsinghua University, some of the majors of the Eastern Languages Department of Peking University, and the Sociology Department of Peking University's predecessor, Yenching University, were restructured into the Central School of Nationalities, and the school's site was moved from the State Prison to a place near the Baishibiao Bridge in the western suburb of the city. After that, teaching and research units such as the Department of Minzu Language, the Department of History, the Department of Politics, the Department of Art, the Department of Chinese Language, the Department of Research, and the Department of Matriculation were established one after another. The Counselor's Office of the Central People's Committee was also merged into the Central University for Nationalities. Postgraduate education began in the 1950s when the school was founded. [4]
