Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan and other cities have taken the lead in piloting 12 free education. Take Zhuhai as an example. Since entering school in the autumn of 2007, the local government has taken the lead in expanding the scope of free education to high school education in the province, and has also implemented a tuition-free policy for registered students in ordinary high schools, vocational high schools, technical schools and technical secondary schools in this city, realizing "12 years of free education".

Twelve-year compulsory education:

Twelve-year compulsory education refers to bringing high school education into the scope of compulsory education and implementing twelve-year compulsory education. China Special Economic Zone, ethnic minority areas, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Hebei have all tried free high school education and achieved good response. However, it is mainly concentrated in ethnic areas, coastal areas and other developed areas, and has not been widely popularized.

From 2065438 to March 2007, during the National People's Congress, delegates discussed 12 year compulsory education. Some CPPCC members suggested popularizing 12-year compulsory education throughout the country. There are different opinions from all walks of life. Some scholars believe that the time is not yet ripe, while others believe that China's basic conditions are already in place. Therefore, the proposal of popularizing 12-year compulsory education in the whole country is still being further demonstrated.
