The degree of democracy in a country depends directly on its political system and indirectly on the educational level and development of its citizens. The higher the popularization of education, the richer people's knowledge, the more they can enhance their awareness of rights, so as to understand the value of democracy, praise democratic policies and promote political reform and progress.
China's Compulsory Education Law stipulates that the length of compulsory education is nine years, which conforms to China's national conditions and is appropriate. The actual situation of China's compulsory education system mainly includes "six-three system" (that is, six years in primary school and three years in middle school), "May 4th system" (that is, five years in primary school and four years in middle school) and "nine-year consistent system".
In a few areas, eight-year compulsory education is implemented, that is, five years in primary school and three years in secondary school, but these areas are also trying to realize the transition from eight-year system to nine-year system. From the perspective of China's education system, nine-year or eight-year compulsory education includes two stages: primary school compulsory education and junior high school compulsory education.
School-age children and adolescents can complete nine or eight years of compulsory education in compulsory education schools in accordance with the regulations, and then reach the educational level of junior high school graduation.
As follows:
The political and economic system determines the distribution and fairness of resources, and directly affects the fairness and opportunity of education. For example, the socialist system advocates equal distribution and public education and pays attention to providing educational opportunities; Under the capitalist system, the rules of market economy may lead to the unbalanced distribution of educational resources.
Political and economic systems affect educational content and inherited values. For example, education under the socialist system emphasizes communist ideals, national interests and collectivism; Education under the capitalist system may pay more attention to market demand, individual rights and interests and competition consciousness.
Political and economic systems affect the setting of educational goals. Under the socialist system, the educational goal emphasizes social welfare and cultivates all-round citizens; Under the capitalist system, education pays more attention to personal competitiveness and economic benefits.
