Nine-year compulsory education generally refers to compulsory education. Compulsory education is a compulsory education for all school-age children and adolescents and a public welfare undertaking that the state must guarantee. The quality of compulsory education is related to the healthy growth of hundreds of millions of children, the development of the country and the future of the nation.

Its essence is a system of compulsory education for school-age children and adolescents for a certain period of time in accordance with the provisions of the law. Compulsory education is also called compulsory education and free compulsory education. Compulsory education has the basic characteristics of compulsory, free, universal and secular.

From April 2065438 to April 2009, the General Office of the Ministry of Education issued "Several Provisions on Prohibiting Obstruction of Compulsory Education" (hereinafter referred to as "Regulations"), in order to effectively guarantee the implementation of the national compulsory education system and correct illegal acts that seriously affect the growth and development of school-age children and adolescents.

"At present, high school education cannot be included in compulsory education. The main task of high school education is to accelerate the pace of popularization and meet the needs of junior high school graduates to receive high school education. " In response to the recent news that "the nine-year compulsory education will be upgraded to a twelve-year system and the senior high school entrance examination will be cancelled", the head of the Department of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education responded that it is impossible to upgrade the nine-year compulsory education to a twelve-year system at this stage.

The person in charge said that this year, the Ministry of Education and other four departments issued the "High School Education Popularization Plan (20 17-2020)", proposing to popularize high school education throughout the country by 2020. But universality, obligation and free are three different concepts. Popularizing high school education focuses on solving the problem of learning, not bringing high school education into compulsory education or implementing free education.
