Twelve-year compulsory education Twelve-year compulsory education refers to the implementation of twelve-year compulsory education based on ordinary high schools, technical secondary schools, vocational high schools, technical schools and other schools with high school education, excluding private schools. Twelve-year compulsory education does not mean unconditional entry into ordinary high schools without grade restrictions. All schools still need to take the senior high school entrance examination or enroll in some secondary vocational education institutions. China Special Economic Zone, ethnic minority areas, Zhejiang Province, Guangdong Province and Hebei Province have tried to provide secondary education free of charge. However, it is mainly concentrated in ethnic areas, coastal areas and other developed areas, and has not been widely popularized.
Basic situation of compulsory education 1. The essence of compulsory education
The essence of compulsory education is actually a system of compulsory education for school-age children and adolescents for a certain number of years, which is also called compulsory education and free compulsory education.
2. The origin of compulsory education
Compulsory education originated in Germany, and its religious leader Martin Luther first put forward this concept. After the industrial revolution, the time of compulsory education gradually developed to nine years. Compulsory education in China began with the decree issued by the provisional government of the Republic of China.
3. The significance of compulsory education
Compulsory education is a universal, compulsory and free school education for all school-age children and adolescents according to law. It is the basis of improving national quality and the starting point of realizing social equity. Receiving compulsory education is the basic right of citizens, implementing compulsory education is an important duty of the government, and supporting compulsory education is the common task of the whole society. In addition, parents who refuse to let school-age children go to school and schools that refuse to accept school-age children should bear corresponding legal responsibilities.
4. Compulsory education is not balanced enough.
Nine-year compulsory education has been carried out throughout the country, but there is still a serious imbalance in the nine-year compulsory education throughout the country, that is, within provinces, cities and counties. The country has been vigorously promoting the balanced development of compulsory education in this regard, which is a very correct direction. Have you noticed that rural schools are dying out and urban schools are overcrowded? How many prescriptions have been prescribed for the school-choosing fever, and there is still no solution, and the high fever does not retreat, which is the performance of this imbalance. So now is definitely not the time to implement 12 compulsory education.
5. The quality of compulsory education is not high.
Compulsory education is compulsory education. People often regard it as free, but we can't see that this compulsion has both advantages and disadvantages. Take primary schools and junior high schools as examples. After children enter primary school, there is no quality evaluation mechanism. But whether he meets the standards or not, he will push up step by step. After graduating in nine years, did he reach the academic level and moral standard of junior high school graduation? Few people pay attention to these. And these are the most important, much more important than the number of years of compulsory education!
