The Compulsory Education Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), which was adopted at the fourth session of the Sixth National People's Congress on1April 1996 1986, stipulates that the state shall implement nine-year compulsory education. The law came into effect on July 1 day of the same year.
This is the most important education law since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), which indicates that China's compulsory education system has been established. On September 1 2006, the new Compulsory Education Law was implemented.
Benefits of nine-year compulsory education
Nine-year compulsory education helps to improve the level of national education. Through the compulsory education system, all children have the opportunity to receive basic education, regardless of their family's economic situation. This can not only improve the cultural quality of the whole society, but also help to cultivate the future labor force and provide talent support for the sustainable development of society.
Secondly, nine-year compulsory education helps to promote social equity. Without compulsory education, children from poor families may not be able to receive education, which will further aggravate the gap between the rich and the poor in society. The implementation of the compulsory education system can ensure that all children have the right to receive education, thus reducing social injustice to some extent.
In addition, nine-year compulsory education helps to promote economic development. Education is an important driving force of economic development, and a well-educated labor force can greatly improve the productivity of a country. In addition, education can also improve individual employment opportunities and income levels.
China has made remarkable achievements in implementing nine-year compulsory education. It is reported that People's Republic of China (PRC)'s nine-year compulsory education system is one of its remarkable achievements since its founding 70 years ago. Thanks to the nine-year compulsory education, the literacy rate of China people is among the best in the world, which is a great achievement. Considering 1949, the primary school enrollment rate in China is only about 25%.
It was not until 1986 introduced the nine-year compulsory education system that China's efforts to improve the literacy rate achieved the expected results. The rapid economic growth in China has played an important role in the success of the literacy campaign, especially because governments at all levels have incorporated the progress of the nine-year compulsory education system into the official achievements.
