What are the characteristics of basic education?
Basic education in the new era should have the following characteristics:

Public welfare. Basic education is the basic project of national development, which is related to the growth of every child and the future of the country and the nation, and should be of public welfare. Public welfare outside the system is reflected in the non-profit of educational activities, especially the industrialization, marketization and utilitarianism of educational activities under the conditions of socialist market economy. All processes and links in the field of education should be subordinate to the essence of cultivating people, instead of putting education under market rules and turning it into a means of capital seeking profits, destroying the educational ecology and violating the essence of education. The public welfare within the system should be reflected in the public service function of the government's basic education, which is the basic content of building a service-oriented government and a responsible government. This kind of public welfare includes the government performing the management function of basic education, introducing policies and regulations suitable for the development of basic education, providing more high-quality educational service resources for the development of basic education, realizing the government's financial, material and human resources, and striving to build a high-quality and balanced basic public education service system.

Basic. The foundation of basic education lies in helping students master basic knowledge and skills, cultivating students' basic ability of survival, development and integration into society, and shaping basic morality and values, that is, laying a good foundation for students' future development or lifelong development. With the rapid development of information technology, information explosion and knowledge explosion, the basic knowledge and skills that students should master in the future will continue to expand. Therefore, the basic concern of basic education in the new era is the basic literacy that students should have, including the basic cultural literacy of humanistic accumulation, humanistic feelings and aesthetic taste, the scientific literacy of rational criticism, independent thinking and innovative spirit, the knowledge literacy of being willing to learn and obtain information, and the development literacy of improving personality and self-reliance. With these basic qualities, students can better adapt to the trend of social development in the ever-changing changes.

Comprehensive. The so-called comprehensive means to realize the all-round development of students and implement it at the specific educational level, that is, to build an educational system that comprehensively cultivates morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor. Moral education focuses on cultivating new people with great love, virtue and great feelings, which requires constantly strengthening and improving ideological and political work in schools and giving full play to the role of moral education in ideological and political classrooms. Intellectual education should protect students' curiosity, imagination and thirst for knowledge, pay more attention to knowledge and wisdom, and guide students to actively increase knowledge, enrich knowledge, understand truth and distinguish things. Physical education teaching should guide students to adhere to the educational concept of health first, teach physical education class well, promote the development of students' sports skills and form a healthy lifestyle. Aesthetic education should educate, beautify and cultivate people, enlighten the soul, cultivate sentiment and improve aesthetic and humanistic quality in aesthetic education. Labor education focuses on establishing correct labor values and cultivating good labor quality, giving full play to the different roles of family, school and society, and extensively carrying out labor education practice so that students can learn to gain value from labor. At the same time, the realization of this comprehensiveness needs the guidance of scientific educational evaluation. In addition to improving the outcome evaluation, strengthening the process evaluation, exploring the value-added evaluation and improving the comprehensive evaluation, it is more important to understand the students' voices and understand the behavioral logic behind them, and not to define students easily by temporary gains and losses or success or failure.
