With a long history of virtue and successive events of brilliance, School of Primary Education, located in Beibei District of Chongqing, originated from the establishment of the official Eastern China Normal School in 1906. Its predecessors include Eastern China Normal School, Sichuan Second Provincial Women's Normal School, Chongqing Municipal Normal School, and Chongqing First Normal School. In 2003, it merged with Chongqing Normal University and was renamed as School of Primary Education. The school has a long history of education and a glorious revolutionary tradition.

The school covers an area of 170 acres with a building area of over 70,000 square meters. It has complete teaching facilities and equipment. There are currently 126 staff members, including 99 full-time teachers (7 professors, 29 associate professors, 21 master's supervisors, and 28 doctors). There are more than 2,400 full-time undergraduate and master's students, as well as an affiliated primary school and kindergarten. The school offers undergraduate programs in primary education (with specialization in Chinese, mathematics, English, and general education), science education, and calligraphy. It also offers master's programs in science education and science and technology education.

The school adheres to the educational philosophy of "inheriting a century-old tradition, developing distinctive school characteristics, cultivating innovative talents, and serving primary education." It aims to cultivate high-quality primary school teachers with comprehensive development and one specialty plus multiple abilities for the new era. The school requires its students to possess "five abilities and five skills" (the ability to speak, sing, write, teach, and think, as well as the skills of dancing, drawing, playing musical instruments, and teaching) and "ten comprehensive abilities" (listening, speaking, reading, writing, calculating, playing musical instruments, singing, dancing, drawing, and teaching). In 2013, the school admitted the first batch of students majoring in primary education (general teachers) to cultivate high-quality primary school teachers for rural schools in Chongqing. It has established the first "UGIS" alliance for training general teachers in 24 districts and counties, and has established 53 practice education bases throughout the city, forming a model of school-community cooperation in the training of general teachers. The students have achieved excellent results in the national teaching skills competition for normal students. The quality of talent cultivation in the school has been continuously improving, and its graduates are widely welcomed by employers. The school has trained a large number of outstanding talents for basic education, and 70% of the principals and top-level teachers in primary schools in urban areas of Chongqing are alumni of the school. There are more than 300 alumni who have been awarded National Labor Model, National Model Teacher, National Outstanding Teacher, Municipal Top-level Teacher, and Municipal Backbone Teacher. In recent years, outstanding young teachers such as Cao Jin, a National Outstanding Teacher, Wang Hongying, a recipient of the Contribution Award for Promoting Chongqing's Revitalization," and Zheng Gaolan, a National Outstanding Young Pioneer Advisor, have emerged from the school.

The school is one of the 20 national pilot schools for the reform of excellent primary school teacher training approved by the Ministry of Education. Primary education is a first-class and distinctive major in Chongqing. Science education is the first undergraduate major in science education in China, as well as a school-level distinctive major and a first-class major in the city. Calligraphy is the only calligraphy undergraduate major in Chongqing Normal University. The school has three municipal-level research platforms (Chongqing Children's Development and Teacher Education Research Center, Chongqing Social Science Popularization Base, and Chongqing Science Popularization Base) and three school-level research platforms (Chongqing Normal University Science and Technology Education and Communication Research Center, Calligraphy Research Institute, CNU and Children's Reading and Chinese Education Research Center, CNU). In recent years, the school has undertaken five projects funded by the National Social Science Fund, two projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation, ten projects funded by the Ministry of Education, 80 municipal-level research projects (including five key projects), 98 school-level research projects, and 17 horizontal research projects. It has published 188 high-quality papers (including 98 in Class A and 90 in Class B) and 79 academic monographs and textbooks. It has also been approved for one of the first batch of new liberal arts research and reform practice projects by the Ministry of Education, and has hosted one national-level excellent shared course, one national first-class undergraduate course, and four municipal-level first-class undergraduate courses. It has undertaken 52 educational reform projects (including one national-level project, one major municipal-level project, four key projects, and five key school-level projects), and has won one national second-class award for higher education teaching achievements, one first-class award and one second-class award at the municipal level, and one special award and one first-class award at the school level.

The school is the training center for primary school teachers in Chongqing and is also a qualified institution for training primary school science teachers under the Ministry of Education's National Training Program demonstration project. In recent years, it has carried out more than 80 National Training Program and local teacher training programs (including 13 demonstration training projects of the Ministry of Education, more than 40 national training projects at the provincial and municipal levels, and more than 30 within-municipality and external training projects), training over 5,800 primary school teachers and educational researchers in subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, and science. The quality of training ranks among the top in the country. The school has been repeatedly recognized as an Chongqing Advanced Collective in Teacher Education and an Advanced Collective of National Training Program.

With a century of history and continuous progress, the school will be based in Chongqing, facing the western region, and adhere to the coordinated development of primary education, science education, and calligraphy. It will focus on enhancing its connotation, creating distinctive characteristics, establishing a brand, and striving for excellence. The school aims to become a nationally influential base for primary school teacher education.
