High schools will not be fully popularized in 2023. At present, China's national conditions do not have the conditions to popularize senior high schools, but the change of junior high school students' way of entering higher schools has made parents see hope. The relevant education departments indicated that 100% will be allocated to schools in 2023, and the school arrival index will be dynamically adjusted. This is an opportunity for some junior high school students, especially middle school students.

At present, China is still implementing nine-year compulsory education, and it will take some time to popularize high school compulsory education, because it is a difficult process and requires many factors, but China will still work towards this goal.

At the press conference, the Ministry of Education introduced the "Outline of Popularizing High School Education (2017-2020)". The overall goal of the plan is to popularize compulsory high school education in the whole country by 2020, so as to meet the needs of junior high school graduates to receive good high school education.
