There is no basis for popularizing compulsory high school education in 2020. We only know that the plan of popularizing high school education (20 17-2020) requires that by 2020, the gross enrollment rate of high school in all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in China will reach more than 90%, and the gross enrollment rate in poverty-stricken areas in the central and western regions will be greatly improved; The structure of ordinary high schools and secondary vocational education is more reasonable, and the enrollment scale is roughly the same.
Universal high school education is not 12 years compulsory education. The Ministry of Education said: China's high school education has not been fully popularized, the investment guarantee mechanism is not perfect, and the development of schools is very uneven. In this case, bringing high school education into the compulsory education system and forcing students to enter school may lead to a series of management and social problems. For economically developed areas, it is possible to popularize high school education, and at least ensure that the gross enrollment rate in high school reaches 90% in 2020. In fact, it is already such a state. However, in the mountainous areas of central and western China, it is still difficult to ensure that the enrollment rate of high schools reaches a high level.
Should the senior high school entrance examination be cancelled? The senior high school entrance examination is a selective examination for entering senior high schools, and it is a lever for grading to decide to enter ordinary senior high schools and secondary vocational schools. In order to balance educational resources, the scale of ordinary high schools and secondary vocational schools is roughly within the range of 5: 5. Some of them go to high school to prepare for the college entrance examination, some go to secondary vocational schools to prepare for college or directly enter the society to find a job.
So far, there is no sign of canceling the senior high school entrance examination system, and the goal of the policy is to popularize high school education. If the senior high school entrance examination is cancelled, it is estimated that most students will choose ordinary senior high schools, which will lead to confusion in the enrollment of senior high school education, and it is difficult to cancel the senior high school entrance examination immediately.
