After the end of nine-year compulsory education in China, technical secondary schools are institutions of higher education, which are connected to junior high schools and universities. Generally, it is a three-year system. China's high school education refers to the high school education after junior high school, including ordinary high schools, vocational high schools and secondary specialized schools, which belongs to the category of secondary education. Senior high school education in China is non-compulsory and students have to pay tuition fees.

At present, China's high school education is constantly improving and reforming, and experiments and popularization are carried out in various places in the form of elective courses+compulsory courses, activity courses+subject courses, vocational education courses+academic courses. It is only because of the influence of traditional educational ideas and the blind pursuit of the college entrance examination rate by all walks of life that high school education in many areas still emphasizes knowledge education or the accuracy of knowledge, ignoring the comprehensive education of students, the sound education of personality, the cultivation of thinking ability and innovation ability. Our basic education reform still has a long way to go.
