In 2000, the School of Continuing Education at Inner Mongolia Normal University was established jointly with the Inner Mongolia Educational College.

In 2004, the Continuing Education Center for Elementary and Middle-school Teachers in Inner Mongolia autonomous region was attached to IMNU and was co-located with School of Continuing Education.

Directly affiliated with IMNU, the School of Continuing Education is responsible for the management and research of adult education and non-diploma training. It has seven departments, including an administrative office, a correspondence department, a training department and an information center.

Under the leadership of the Department of Education of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and IMNU, the School of Continuing Education plays a vital role in training elementary and middle-school teachers.
