Jiangsu seng jiaoyu hui 江蘇僧教育會

Jiāngsū Monastic Education Association: Jiāngsū sēng jiàoyù huì 江蘇僧教育會

• 1908 - 19??
• Location(s): Nánjīng 南京?

This organization was set up in 1908 in response to an edict issued by the government in 1906 calling for the establishment of educational associations across China. It appears that Yáng Wénhuì 楊文會 was involved, even if only tangentially, as it was he who recommended that Yuèxiá 月霞 be appointed president of the Association in 1910.

This organization ran the Jiāngsū Saṇgha Normal Study Hall 江蘇僧師範學堂 from 1909 until October 1911.
