Since the reform and opening up, China's educational legislation has made great progress and achievements, which are as follows:
1. Free and compulsory education has been fully implemented.
Compulsory education is compulsory, free and inclusive. However, compulsory education in China has not been free for a long time. From 65438 to 0982, the enrollment rate of school-age children in rural areas in China was only 62.6%. In 2002, there were still 85.07 million illiterates in China, of whom 20 million were young illiterates.
On September 1 2006, the Compulsory Education Law, which was officially implemented, clearly stipulated that "tuition and miscellaneous fees are not charged for compulsory education", and the state established a compulsory education fund guarantee mechanism from the legal level to ensure the implementation of the compulsory education system. Free and compulsory education is an important symbol of China's educational achievements in the past 40 years of reform and opening up and even 100 years.
2. Education at all levels has developed by leaps and bounds.
At the beginning of the reform and opening up, from 65438 to 0978, only 60.5% of primary schools entered junior high schools, and the number of students in secondary vocational education accounted for less than 6% of senior high schools. The gross enrollment rate of higher education is only 1.55%.
In 20 16, the gross enrollment rate of preschool education in China was 77.4%, the net enrollment rate of primary school was 99.9%, the gross enrollment rate of junior high school was 104%, the consolidation rate of nine-year compulsory education was 93.4%, and the gross enrollment rate of senior high school was 87.5%, all exceeding the average level of middle-and high-income countries.
3. Vigorously promote quality education.
Since the late 1980s, the problems of one-sided pursuit of enrollment rate and school choice fever in China's basic education have become increasingly serious, and social dissatisfaction with the existing problems in education has also become increasingly strong. 65438-0999 the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council promulgated the Decision on Deepening Education Reform and Promoting Quality Education in an All-round Way. At the same time, the exploration of public and private education reform came into being.
On 20 16, the Ministry of Education issued the Core Literacy of Students in China, and the literacy standards of various subjects in senior high schools have been formulated, which will play a positive role in deepening quality education in the basic education stage.
4. Important progress has been made in opening education to the outside world.
At the beginning of the reform and opening up, Comrade Deng Xiaoping made an important decision to expand the number of overseas students, proposing that "thousands of students should be sent, not just ten or eight", thus forming a large-scale upsurge of studying abroad. 1978- 1989, China sent 9610/international students. 1989-20 1 1 year, 2149,000 people go abroad, making it the largest source country for international students in the world.
In 20 16, the number of students studying abroad has reached 545,000. In the stage of higher education, foreign cooperation is becoming more and more frequent, and more and more researchers go to international scientific research institutions for joint research.
5. New breakthroughs have been made in the construction of educational rule of law.
Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China has initially established a set of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's education legal system, including the Education Law, the Compulsory Education Law, the Vocational Education Law, the Higher Education Law and the Regulations on the Promotion of Private Education, which fundamentally reversed the situation of "no legal basis" for education development.
When People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded, the old education system was completely destroyed. However, in the 30 years after the reform and opening up, due to historical reasons, the new legal system of education has not been established, and the development of education is seriously lacking in legal protection. This situation gradually changed after the reform and opening up.
The Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee put forward the general plan of comprehensively promoting the rule of law. Teaching according to law is an important content of governing the country according to law, and it is also the educational guarantee of governing the country according to law.
