A person concerned from the Ministry of Education said that the implementation conditions of 12-year compulsory education are not yet available. Recently, a representative of the National People's Congress put forward a proposal to change nine-year compulsory education into twelve-year compulsory education. In its reply, the Ministry of Education stated that the current compulsory education system was obtained after a long period of adjustment and practice, and it is also in line with the current international practice and the current stage of domestic economic development, and there is no condition for extending the years of compulsory education. Relevant persons said that the development level of each local city is different. One kind of emphasis on the extension of compulsory education will only make the educational resources in poor mountainous areas run out faster, which may lead to the imbalance between urban and rural development.

The person in charge of the relevant education department also said that although compulsory education has been popularized in recent years, the national compulsory education popularization rate has exceeded 95%, and the popularization achievements are very remarkable, but in the development process, there are still problems such as unequal resources among different cities and low prices of educational resources in some poverty-stricken areas. Moreover, the problem of students from remote and poor families going to school has not been well solved. In the future, the direction of the Ministry of Education is to set up files of students with financial difficulties in senior high schools, so that every student with financial difficulties can get help. This is the most important task of high school education at present.

Earlier, some media reported that the senior high school entrance examination will be cancelled immediately after compulsory education is popularized in senior high schools. The relevant person in charge said that the Ministry of Education has no plan to cancel the senior high school entrance examination system at present, and the senior high school entrance examination will remain a very important examination for us for a long time to come.

However, under the background of reducing students' burden, it is possible to reform the senior high school entrance examination in the future, increase the proportion of credits in physical education subjects, strengthen students' physical exercise, and let students protect their health while studying. There will be great changes in the examination system in the future, and there will be less and less examination-oriented education.
