Implementation time
The requirement of the Ministry of Education is to popularize high school education in the whole country by 2020. At present, some areas are already planning a little. Parents and students can refer to the local senior high school entrance examination policy to determine the most authentic news.
Not cancel the senior high school entrance examination
As soon as the news of 12 year compulsory education spread, many people misunderstood 12 year compulsory education as canceling the senior high school entrance examination, but this has nothing to do with it. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Education also said: The reform and implementation of the junior high school level examination is not to cancel the senior high school entrance examination, but to combine the junior high school graduation examination with the senior high school entrance examination, so as to realize the multi-purpose of one examination, avoid multiple examinations, and reduce the burden and pressure on students to prepare for exams repeatedly.
It's not free high school.
Twelve-year compulsory education has been implemented free of charge in many developed areas, but it is impossible in most areas. The economic development of each region is different, and there is no way to realize free high school education in China. Moreover, free education and universal high school education have different meanings.
