If the nine-year compulsory education is extended to 12, will it benefit everyone? The answer is, of course, yes. So, what are the benefits? I think there are three advantages.

First, reduce the financial burden on families.

Compulsory education is equivalent to tuition. Students who want to eat at school only need to pay a meal fee, and those who are close to home can go home to eat. In this case, compulsory education costs little.

After entering high school for three years, the expenses will suddenly increase, not only for tuition, but also for meals and some materials, which is not a small expense for poor families.

If high school also enters compulsory education, it can reduce the pressure from this aspect and make it easier for parents not to worry about their children's tuition.

Second, reduce the phenomenon of working after graduating from junior high school.

Children in some poor areas will drop out of school and go out to work after completing nine-year compulsory education, which may happen whether their grades are good or bad.

Especially for families with many children, after all, it is too difficult for them to afford the tuition of a high school for three years. So many sensible children go out to work after finishing junior high school.

This led to the phenomenon of going to work as soon as I graduated from junior high school. If high school is included in compulsory education, at least these people can have books to read. If they are good at reading, they can continue to go to college, which is much better than going out to work at an early age.

Third, ease the pressure of the senior high school entrance examination

For students, the senior high school entrance examination is the first turning point in their lives, and everyone hopes to be admitted to a good middle school.

This has caused many students to feel nervous when facing the senior high school entrance examination, and then they will play abnormally in the senior high school entrance examination and their grades will not be as good as usual.

If three years of high school education is compulsory, it can at least alleviate the pressure on students to face the senior high school entrance examination, and also allow students to attend high school.

Therefore, it is necessary to extend the nine-year compulsory education to twelve years.
