Twelve-year compulsory education is the focus of current education reform, and its implementation is of great significance for improving national quality and promoting social equity. This paper will discuss the reasons for supporting 12-year compulsory education from four aspects: economic strength, successful pilot experience, legal guarantee of educational fairness and improvement of workers' quality.

Strong economic strength

China has a strong GDP and is fully capable of undertaking 12 years of compulsory education. This will train more talents for the country, improve the quality of the people and promote economic development.

Successful experience of pilot projects

Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Zhejiang, Fuzhou, Shandong and other places have piloted first and accumulated valuable implementation experience. The successful experience of these pilot areas can provide reference for national implementation.

The law guarantees the fairness of education.

Through legislation to ensure that urban and rural children can receive high school education, effectively eliminate educational injustice. This will provide more children with opportunities to receive quality education and promote educational equity.

Improve the quality of workers

To adapt to the development of modern economy and science and technology, high school education is the basic requirement, which will improve the quality of young and middle-aged workers as a whole. This will cultivate more high-quality labor force for the country and promote economic development.
