Four reasons for supporting the implementation of twelve-year compulsory education;
First, China has the economic strength to implement 12 year compulsory education. In 20 10, the national GDP was 39,798.3 billion yuan, the economic aggregate was the second in the world, and it had enough financial resources to implement 12-year compulsory education;
Second, the high school education of rural and urban children can be guaranteed by law, which relatively eliminates the problem of unfair education;
Third, we can improve the quality of young and middle-aged workers in China as a whole. The development of modern economy and science and technology requires workers to have at least a high school education.
Fourth: "Education is the cheapest national defense"-this sentence deeply influenced post-war Japan. High-quality workers can not only bring higher benefits, but also make the country long-term stability.
