Under the expectation of the people, it is certain that senior high school education will be popularized nationwide in 2020! —— On the morning of April 6, 2065438+2007, the Ministry of Education held a press conference to introduce the Popularization Plan for Senior High School (20 17-2020). The content is as follows:

By 2020, the whole country will "popularize" high school education instead of implementing "compulsory" high school education! There is still a big difference between the two. At present, China's high school penetration rate has exceeded 85%, which is far from compulsory education 100%.

Once compulsory high school education is implemented, tuition and miscellaneous fees will be exempted for the first three years of high school, which is an unbearable financial expenditure for China, which is still in the primary stage of socialism. -Minister of Education Chen Baosheng said.

Guangdong Provincial People's Congress suggested changing compulsory education from 9 years to 12 years.

Zhuang Shunfu, a deputy to the Provincial People's Congress, and other people 13 proposed that Guangdong should implement 12 years compulsory education as soon as possible. In this regard, Luo Weiqi, director of the Education Department of Guangdong Province, said in an interview that Guangdong encourages qualified urban areas in the province to introduce specific measures suitable for local conditions according to their actual conditions, such as Zhuhai, which has been implemented at present, but it is unrealistic to implement 12 education free in the whole province.

Delegates pointed out that although our province's economic development is ahead of the whole country, there is no difference between the current years of compulsory education and the whole country, which is nine years' compulsory education, and the focus of development should be here.

At present, the voice of realizing 12 compulsory education in China is growing. Some places have really extended the compulsory education stage. Zhungeer Banner of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region began to implement 12 free education, with an annual investment of more than 50 million yuan, benefiting nearly 40,000 primary, junior and senior high school students. The situation that children in Zhungeer Banner drop out of school due to family poverty will no longer exist.
