Compulsory education is a national education that school-age children and adolescents must accept according to law and is guaranteed by the state, society and family. Its essence is a system of compulsory education for school-age children and adolescents for a certain period of time in accordance with the provisions of the law. Compulsory education is also called compulsory education and free compulsory education. Compulsory education is compulsory, free and universal. China's Compulsory Education Law stipulates that the length of compulsory education is nine years, which conforms to China's national conditions and is appropriate.

Basic education is the knowledge that people need to master in advance in order to gain more knowledge in their growth. Just like laying the foundation before building a house, if you want to learn a language well, you must start with literacy. As a basic project to cultivate talents and improve the quality of the people, basic education plays an important role in the educational reform in the world facing the 2 1 century. Basic education in China includes preschool education, primary education and general secondary education. This is a dynamic concept. At present, the de facto basic education in China refers to all forms of education before junior high school (including junior high school). In a narrow sense, it refers to nine-year compulsory education. In a broad sense, it should also include family education (abbreviated as tutor) and necessary social life knowledge education. Some people classify high school education as basic education, but this type of education has not been popularized in China at present, so in fact, high school education is not basic education. With the development of China, it is estimated that by 2020, high school education will be basically popularized. 1977, UNESCO held a seminar for senior education planning officials in Nairobi, Kenya, and conducted extensive and in-depth discussions on basic education, holding that "basic education is an education that provides and shares the minimum knowledge, viewpoints, social norms and experiences for everyone". "Its purpose is to enable everyone to give full play to their potential, creativity and critical spirit, so as to realize their ambitions and obtain happiness, become beneficial citizens and producers, and make contributions to the social development to which they belong". Basic education is an important part of the whole education system. Just like high-rise buildings rising from the ground, without good basic education, there can be no excellent higher education.

Although both refer to basic education, the latter is compulsory.
