History

F8~9P03+9Wk5:1d
As a higher education institution directly subordinated to the GACC and aimed at cultivating customs officials and trade personnel, Shanghai Customs College has evolved from a technical secondary school to a junior college, and then from a vocational college to an undergraduate college in 58 years.

Shanghai Customs School is the predecessor of Shanghai Customs College. In May 1951, the GACC launched an official training session in Shanghai and contemplated to establish the Shanghai Customs School. In early 1952, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and the GACC decided to establish a technical secondary school to meet the needs of customs operations. After being approved by the Central Finance and Economics Committee, the school was founded in Shanghai under the direct leadership of the Shanghai Customs on behalf of the GACC and the Commissioner General of Shanghai Customs was designated as the chairman of the school preparatory committee. Its faculty includes one physician, one nurse, one teacher, two workers, officials from subordinate customs houses and employees from the Shanghai Customs. Shanghai Customs School officially started on September 14, 1953. However, as the school campus was not completed yet, students had to study and live in the Shanghai Customs Tower temporarily. The school was relocated to No.45 Fenyang Road during 12-18 November, becoming the first technical secondary school of customs in new China which is responsible for cultivating customs officials with socialist ideology for customs nationwide and for on-job training of customs officials.

The years between 1953-1966 witnessed the development of Shanghai Customs School which enrolled students in nine years who were initially middle school students and then high school students as the enrollment rolled out nationwide. During the education revolution in 1958, the school made it clear that it will cultivate customs officials who were firm-positioned, ideologically progressive, healthy, hardworking, devoted to the customs, and resourceful, comply with disciplines, have practical ability to analyze and solve problems with Marxist-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thoughts and have received high school education and command basic knowledge about customs operations. In 1961, in line with the spirit of Shanghai culture and education meeting as well as the education seminar of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the school amended its objective as cultivating customs officials with socialist ideology, appropriate culture and science knowledge, basic theoretical knowledge and practical skills, and capable of both mental and physical labor in accordance with the CPC guidelines on education and the needs of national construction. According to the No.1 classified message of the Ministry of Education, the school was approved as a confidential institution by the Ministry from July 1959 as enrollment was conducted with confidentiality obligations, and the objective remains to be cultivating middle-level customs professionals. During the years between 1958-1960, the school hosted two cadre training sessions (senior cadre sessions) to improve the political and operating performance of customs officials. Such training played a positive role in the customs personnel structure as 84 cadres from agricultural and industrial sectors received training. In the 13 years before Cultural Revolution, the school cultivated 1,208 graduates who catered for national needs and were dedicated to the customs. Their footprints were left from hinterlands to border regions as many of them becoming customs leaders or key officials. Shanghai Customs School has made positive contributions as it cultivated so many cadres for the customs nationwide. C6?3Vi,.8JC2;8z
The Cultural Revolution wreaked great havoc to Shanghai Customs School. In August 1968, the school was forcibly revoked and incorporated into the Shanghai Foreign Trade College which was shut down later in April 1972. Thereafter, the school, together with the Shanghai Foreign Trade College, was again consolidated into the Shanghai Foreign Language College. The mission of cultivating customs professionals was disrupted for as long as 12 years as the premises and properties on Fenyang Road were all redistributed and reassigned. k,~6sY4.3qA,;5w
In the wake of the Cultural Revolution, the priority of the country shifted to economic construction. However, the quality of customs officials, their professional knowledge and foreign language competency were all on decline as there is no regular source of official cultivation. In order to cater for the new circumstances, the Ministry of Foreign Trade approved to resume the school and renamed it as the Shanghai Customs Administration School in April 1978. The school was officially resumed in September. T1:7Bz2;1jT7:7H
The school ushered in a new phase of development after 1979. As one of the strategic priorities of modernization drive, customs education has witnessed significant development in all fronts under the support of the GACC as it aimed at cultivating customs professionals with ideals, morality, culture and disciplines. n8:9kq5?9ey9.7Y

The training session was open to cadres who were ideologically progressive, dedicated to the customs, healthy, under 35 years old and have received middle school education and appropriate foreign language basis. More than 100 trainees from 15 subordinate customs nationwide attended the training.
