The social background of "popularizing high school";
In recent years, China's high school education has made great progress. In 20 16, the gross enrollment rate of high school education reached 87.5%, and the popularization level reached a new level. However, due to various reasons, the poverty-stricken areas in the central and western regions are short of educational resources, with a low degree of popularization, and the development of secondary vocational education is obviously lagging behind. These areas are restricted by the level of economic development and natural environmental conditions, and the task of popularization is extremely arduous.
At the same time, there are also many weak links in the economically developed areas in the east. For example, the development of ordinary high school education and secondary vocational education is not coordinated. The proportion of large classes with more than 56 students in ordinary high schools is close to a quarter, and some classes even exceed 80 students. To achieve the goal of universal high school education in 2020, the time is tight and the task is heavy, so it is necessary to organize and implement it.
