The CLGPIW was established in the summer of 1957 as the Central Theory Group (中央理论小组; "Zhōngyāng Lǐlùn Xiǎozǔ") led by Kang Sheng, but it was replaced on June 10, 1958 by a Central Culture and Education Group (中央文教小组; "Zhōngyāng Wénjiào Xiǎozǔ") led by Lu Dingyi, with Kang Sheng as deputy leader and Chen Boda among its members, until a separate leading group for education was established in 1982. The current CLGPIW was established in 1988 by the CCP Central Committee Directive No. 11.
