民國成立後，本港中文學校數量日增，而不少來港定居之滿清遺老，亦多投入辦學及教學工作。香港政府為有效監管全港學校，於1913年頒布《教育條例》，除了定出嚴格的法規外，亦成立全日制師訓學校，訓練本地師資。
After the establishment of the Republic of China, the number of local Chinese schools kept growing. Many of the remnants of the Qing dynasty who came to settle in Hong Kong were also involved in running and teaching at these schools. In 1913, the government promulgated the Education Ordinance to regulate all schools in Hong Kong and decided to set up full-time teacher-training schools to train local teachers.
