[edit] History
In 1951, East China Normal University (ECNU) was founded. It was principally based on the former Daxia University and Guanghua University.
In addition, some departments/staffs from the following Universities were also incorporated into the then newly formed East China Normal University:
- Datong University
- East Asia Physical Education College
- Fudan University

In 1972, East China Normal University was renamed Shanghai Normal University, when it merged Shanghai Teachers Institute, Shanghai Education Institute, Shanghai Physical Education Institute, and Shanghai in-Service Teachers Institute. In 1978, the four institutes detached and resume their original status'. In July 1980, the University resumed its original name.
In 1997 and 1998, Shanghai Education Institute, Shanghai Second Education Institute and Shanghai Preschool Education College merged into ECNU successively.
Recently, ECNU has entered into an agreement with New York University (NYU) to establish a study-abroad program enabling almost 200 students from NYU to study at ECNU each academic year.
