According to the Constitution of China, the state develops socialist education and improves the scientific and cultural level of the people throughout the country. The state runs various schools, popularizes compulsory primary education, develops secondary education, vocational education and higher education, and develops preschool education. The state develops various educational undertakings, eliminates illiteracy, educates workers, peasants, state functionaries and other laborers in politics, culture, science, technology and business, and encourages self-study. The state promotes Putonghua, which is commonly used throughout the country.
Since entering the new period of socialist construction, the work of popularizing Putonghua has entered a new stage. 1982 The revised Constitution of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that "the state promotes Putonghua, which is commonly used in the whole country", which clearly defines the status of Putonghua as a common language in the Basic Law for the first time. Subsequently, the promotion and use of Putonghua was written into the Law on Regional National Autonomy, the Compulsory Education Law, the Education Law and other laws and regulations. In this way, the promotion of Putonghua is no longer a general "advocacy" and "call" thing, but a law enforcement act that should be vigorously promoted. With the rapid development of reform and opening up, socialist market economy and Chinese information processing technology, it has become an increasingly urgent task to promote Putonghua, which puts forward higher requirements for expanding the scope of Putonghua promotion and improving the application level of Putonghua for all people. At the same time, with the gradual popularization of education and the improvement of the modernization of educational means, the rapid popularization of audio media such as radio and television, and the expansion of the scope of personnel mobility, more and more people have mastered Putonghua, which has laid a realistic foundation for popularizing Putonghua throughout the country and improving its application level.
1986, the national language and writing work conference listed the promotion of Putonghua as the primary task of language and writing work in the new period, and pointed out that the situation has changed, and new progress should be made in promoting Putonghua, with emphasis on promotion and popularization, and more active in popularization. 1992, the State Language Committee adjusted the working policy of promoting Putonghua to "vigorously promote, actively popularize and gradually improve". 1997 the national conference on language and writing calls for continuing to implement this policy, improving on the basis of popularization and popularizing under the guidance of improvement, and puts forward the requirement that central cities and economically developed areas take the lead in popularizing Putonghua. The practice of popularizing Putonghua in the past eight years proves that this policy meets the actual needs and plays an important guiding role in popularizing Putonghua throughout the country.
