Zhuang Shunfu, a deputy to the Provincial People's Congress, and other people 13 proposed that Guangdong should implement 12 years compulsory education as soon as possible. In this regard, Luo Weiqi, director of the Education Department of Guangdong Province, said in an interview that Guangdong encourages qualified urban areas in the province to introduce specific measures suitable for local conditions according to their actual conditions, such as Zhuhai, which has been implemented at present, but it is unrealistic to implement 12 education free in the whole province.

Twelve-year compulsory education refers to bringing high school education into the scope of compulsory education and implementing twelve-year compulsory education. China Special Economic Zone, ethnic minority areas, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Hebei have all tried free high school education and achieved good response. However, it is mainly concentrated in ethnic areas, coastal areas and other developed areas, and has not been widely popularized.

Extended data:

The Ministry of Education and other four departments issued the Plan for Popularizing Senior High School Education (20 17-2020), proposing to popularize senior high school education in China by 2020. But universality, obligation and free are three different concepts. Popularizing high school education focuses on solving the problem of learning, not bringing high school education into compulsory education or implementing free education.

People's Daily Online-Ministry of Education responded that "Nine-year compulsory education was upgraded to twelve years": it did not meet the requirements.
