Located in Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan Province, Yunnan Normal University is a university with long history and fine tradition. Established in 1938 as the National Normal College of Southwestern Union University based on Beijing University, Tsinghua University, and Nankai University, it was named as National Kunming Normal College in 1946 when the faculties returned to the north.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was named as Kunming Normal College. In April 1984, with the approval of Yunnan Provincial Government, it was renamed as Yunnan Normal University. In February 1999, the university merged with Yunnan Educational College and Yunnan Physical Education Further Education College in a substantial way. The newly-organized Yunnan Normal University is praised as “Teachers’ Cradle on the red soil Plateau”.
