I think 12 year compulsory education is necessary, but there are advantages and disadvantages in everything, and some opponents have raised different questions. Let's look at this problem rationally!

First talk about the benefits:

1. can alleviate the problem of teaching quantity in primary and junior high schools.

At present, students in primary and junior high schools are under great pressure, with heavy learning burden and fierce competition in exams, which easily leads to involution in teaching. Extending compulsory education can reduce the study intensity of primary and junior high schools, reduce the burden on students and parents, and help students develop healthily and comprehensively.

2. It can improve people's quality and further promote economic and social development.

Research shows that the per capita years of education are closely related to economic development, and increasing the years of national education can improve the national quality and further promote economic and social development.

3. Effectively extending people's years of education is conducive to improving labor productivity.

Research shows that the education level of labor force is closely related to labor productivity, and increasing the number of years of national education can improve labor productivity.

Let's talk about shortcomings first:

Opponents believe that extending compulsory education to twelve years will increase the burden on families and society.

Although receiving higher education has become a universal demand in modern society, studying 12 years means that families need to pay higher education fees and provide more time and energy to help their children complete their studies. For some families, this may be unbearable.

2. Extending compulsory education to twelve years may aggravate the inequality in the distribution of educational resources.

Under the current educational system, high-quality educational resources are often concentrated in big cities or rich areas, while children in backward areas or poor families are faced with the problem of lack of educational resources. If the length of compulsory education is extended, the problem of uneven distribution of these resources may become more prominent.
