China implements nine-year compulsory education, during which schools cannot expel students. Education is the right of minors. Schools and teachers should help students with poor grades and bad conduct, and should not discriminate against them, let alone punish them at will, or even order them to drop out of school or expel them from school. After nine years of compulsory education, if students have serious violations of discipline or law, then the school can expel students.

Schools shall not expel underage students in violation of laws and state regulations. For students who violate school rules and regulations, if they are minors, they are in the stage of legal protection and the school has no right to expel them. If they are adults, the school has the right to expel them. However, school teachers, whether junior high school or senior high school, have no right to expel students, but the academic affairs office of the school has the right to expel students according to laws and school rules.
