According to Article 17 of the Education Law of the People's Republic of China, the state implements a school education system of preschool education, primary education, secondary education and higher education. China has formed a multi-level, multi-form and multi-disciplinary education system:
1, preschool education
Preschool education, also known as preschool education, refers to the planned education of children before they enter primary school by institutions that implement preschool education according to certain training objectives and children's physical and mental characteristics. The institutions that implement pre-school education mainly include nurseries, kindergartens and pre-schools attached to primary schools. Their years range from 1 to 3 years.
2. Primary education
Primary education is an education that enables the educated to lay a foundation of cultural knowledge, have basic writing and computing skills, and prepare for higher education. Primary education is the first stage of the national school system, also known as primary education.
Institutions that implement primary education in China are generally divided into two categories: one is ordinary primary schools that educate children aged 6- 12; The other is an adult primary school for adult citizens who have not received primary education, which mainly carries out literacy education and basic cultural knowledge education.
3. Secondary education
Secondary education refers to secondary general education and vocational education that continue to be implemented on the basis of primary education. Secondary education plays an important role in the whole school education system, which is divided into two stages: junior high school education and senior high school education.
Institutions that implement secondary education are also divided into two categories, one is mainly ordinary junior high schools and ordinary senior high schools, and the other is elementary and senior vocational schools. The quantity and quality of secondary education directly determines the quality of workers in a country to a great extent, and plays an important role in economic construction and social development.
4. Higher education
Higher education refers to all kinds of professional education based on secondary education, which is generally divided into junior college education, undergraduate education and postgraduate education. Higher education undertakes the multiple tasks of cultivating specialized talents, carrying out scientific research and engaging in social services. Institutions that implement higher education mainly include junior colleges, independent colleges and universities.
Extended data
In 20 13, China officially began to implement the "separate second child" policy. In 20 14, the total number of people born in China was16.87 million, and the birth rate also ushered in an upward turning point for the first time after the continuous decline of 14. In 20 14, there were 0/90,000 kindergartens in China, with 405 10/00,000 children, and the gross enrollment rate was about 67.5%, which was still far from the national goal of "75% for the three years before 20 16".
In recent years, China has paid more and more attention to the development of vocational education, and has promulgated a series of laws, regulations and supporting policies. Taking vocational education as an important part of China's education work, the national level has increased investment in vocational education, which has made vocational education achieve unprecedented development. At present, the number of students in secondary and higher vocational education in China is 2250 and 1.39 million respectively, and the education scale ranks first in the world.
Under the background of rapid economic development and industrial structure transformation, China's demand for talents is growing, and the scale of education investment continues to expand. Coupled with the huge population welfare and willingness to pay, it has created a trillion-dollar market scale for the education industry.
The "second child alone" policy helps preschool education usher in a strategic turning point. The deep integration of Internet with K 12 education and vocational education is expected to subvert the original business model, and the education industry in China is expected to maintain a rapid growth trend driven by preschool education, K 12 education and vocational education.
