The most important thing is to promote the integrated development of urban and rural compulsory education. Deputy Zhang Yongmei, secretary of the Party Committee of Zhenhai Middle School in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, believes that attaching great importance to rural compulsory education is a policy to narrow the gap between urban and rural compulsory education and a key link to promote urban basic public services and rural sharing. The focus of this work should start from counties and gradually expand to qualified municipal districts.

The problem of "weak rural areas and crowded towns" in compulsory education needs to be solved urgently. Zhang Yongmei suggested further promoting the integrated development of urban and rural compulsory education and promoting the balanced development of compulsory education. Through the establishment of one-on-one assistance relationship with urban quality schools, the quality of rural school education can be effectively improved. At the same time, actively promote the moderate concentration of rural school layout, ensure the level of running schools, and promote the overall coordination of rural school layout and urbanization.

The government work report puts forward that efforts should be made to solve the problem of heavy extracurricular burden of primary and secondary school students. Representative Liu, president of Yali Middle School in Changsha City, Hunan Province, believes that the heavy academic burden of students is not only an educational problem, but also a social problem. "The society's understanding and demand for talents is relatively one-sided. Everyone wants to get high marks through training and become a leader. Schools and parents also further increase the academic burden of children's schooling. "

Liu said that to fundamentally reduce the burden on children, the government, schools and families need to work together, especially the state should reform the employment system, examination system and school evaluation standards.
