According to Article 11 of the Compulsory Education Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), parents or other legal guardians should send children who have reached the age of six to school to receive and complete compulsory education;
Children in areas where conditions are not available can be postponed to seven years of age.

Classification of primary schools:
1, primary school
In 1970s, primary schools were generally established in underdeveloped rural areas of China. Rural schools in many areas are compound classes of primary schools with "one school, one teacher, one class". A teacher attended all the courses in four grades. Primary and secondary education is of great significance to eliminating illiteracy.
2. Tall and short people
High school is called "advanced primary school", which means that the fifth and sixth grades of primary school are called "advanced grades", and those who pass the high school exam will get high school education. Before 1949, senior primary schools were not common in China.
3. Complete primary school
Schools with primary schools and senior primary schools are referred to as "complete primary schools" or "complete primary schools". After the implementation of "universal nine-year compulsory education" in China, the establishment of complete primary schools in rural areas has become the basic standard. Primary schools in county towns and cities above are generally complete, so they are no longer marked after the 1960s, while complete primary schools in rural areas are still the symbol of education popularization.
