The main role of Imperial College London

Unlike imperial academy, who mainly embodies "learning", imperial academy has the function of "supervision".

Therefore, the Yushitai usually has the following three functions.

1. The highest institution of higher learning in China. It has the best teacher resources in the country and the students are well paid. Of course, it is very difficult to get into it. At the beginning of imperial academy's establishment, he was only responsible for the education of aristocratic children. Although students from poor families were admitted later, the quality of students was very high, and students from poor families could not get in without real efforts. In addition, Imperial College London also accepts and teaches foreign students. After all, it is the "supreme heaven" and should bear the responsibility of "barbarian" civilization.

2. Supervise national education. This hatred is easy to understand and is the main responsibility of the country's highest education management institution.

3. Assist in holding imperial examinations. This is easy to understand. As an important means of selecting talents in ancient times, imperial examinations naturally required the participation of educational institutions, but imperial academy was generally only responsible for assistance.
