China's Compulsory Education Law stipulates that the length of compulsory education is nine years, which conforms to China's national conditions and is appropriate. At present, the actual situation of compulsory education system in China mainly includes "six-three system" (that is, six years in primary school and three years in middle school), "May 4th system" (that is, five years in primary school and four years in middle school) and "nine-year consistent system". Among them, there are still a few areas that implement eight-year compulsory education, that is, five years in primary school and three years in secondary school, but these areas are also trying to realize the transition from eight-year system to nine-year system. Judging from the education system in China, nine-year or eight-year compulsory education includes two stages: primary school compulsory education and junior high school compulsory education. School-age children and adolescents who have completed nine or eight years of compulsory education in compulsory education schools according to regulations can reach the educational level of junior high school graduation.
Basic attribute
Compulsory education in China is compulsory, free and universal, which are the three basic attributes of compulsory education.
Free sex
The so-called free, is clearly stipulated that "no tuition and fees". Public welfare and free are linked. For rural areas, tuition and miscellaneous fees will be completely waived from this year to next year, but for cities, it still needs a process. In fact, the exemption of miscellaneous fees in compulsory education involves many financial problems. Now the country is determined to solve this problem. Article 2 of the revised Compulsory Education Law stipulates that the state implements a nine-year compulsory education system. Compulsory education is a compulsory education for all school-age children and adolescents and a public welfare undertaking that the state must guarantee. The implementation of compulsory education, free of tuition and fees. The state establishes a mechanism to guarantee the funds for compulsory education to ensure the implementation of the compulsory education system.
universality
Unity is always an idea. From beginning to end, the new law emphasizes the implementation of national unified compulsory education, including the formulation of unified teaching material setting standards, teaching standards, funding standards, construction standards, student public funding standards and so on. These contents related to unification are all reflected in the revision of laws in different forms. For example, Article 4 of the revised Compulsory Education Law stipulates that all school-age children and adolescents with People's Republic of China (PRC) nationality are regardless of gender, nationality, race, family property status, religious beliefs, etc. , enjoy the equal right to receive compulsory education and fulfill the obligation to receive compulsory education according to law.
coerciveness
Coercion is also called coercion. It is the obligation of schools, parents and society to let school-age children and adolescents receive compulsory education. Whoever violates this obligation will be regulated by law. If parents don't send their students to school, they should bear the responsibility; Schools do not accept school-age children and adolescents to go to school, and schools should bear the responsibility; Schools do not provide corresponding conditions, but also are subject to legal norms. For example, Article 7 of the revised Compulsory Education Law stipulates that compulsory education is led by the State Council, and the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government make overall planning and implementation, with the county-level people's government as the main management system.
