With the extension of time, the length of primary education is shortened by one year and secondary education is extended by two years. Middle school is divided into primary and advanced stages, which is more in line with the characteristics of students' physical and mental development. Primary school is 6 years, junior high school is 3 years, and senior high school is 3 years, so it is called "six-three system". The Academic System of Forestry was revised several times later, but the basic framework remained unchanged, and it was used until the founding of New China. This is a brief overview of time.
China's modern education system has three obvious characteristics: first, the focus of learning from developed countries is to copy Japanese or American; Second, the direct and collateral departments of the school are relatively complete, and all levels are connected with each other to form a promotion series; Third, the duration of the course is gradually shortened, and the placement level is more in line with the requirements of universal education and the laws of students' physical and mental development, laying the foundation for universal education.
The disadvantages of the school system and the change of the establishment of the new China school system The Decision on Reforming the School System, issued on June 195 1, pointed out the disadvantages of the current school system. First of all, adult education has no proper position in the school system; Second, after six years of primary education, it is difficult for workers' children to receive a complete primary education. Third, technical schools do not have a certain system and cannot meet the requirements of cultivating national construction talents. Therefore, on the basis of retaining the useful part of the original academic system and combining with the actual situation in China at that time, a new academic system was established. 195 1 year is divided into preschool education, primary education, secondary education and higher education, as well as political schools, junior colleges, exchange schools, Monroe special schools and colleges at all levels. The main features of the 195 1 year academic system are: ensuring that workers and peasants have the opportunity to receive education at all levels; Various professional schools, technical schools and amateur schools have established their own positions in the whole academic system; Establish various schools, colleges and colleges to provide opportunities for continuing education; Compulsory education was not submitted, but senior primary schools were abolished to ensure that workers' children received a complete primary education.
