Unity is always an idea. From beginning to end, the new law emphasizes the implementation of national unified compulsory education, including the formulation of unified teaching material setting standards, teaching standards, funding standards, construction standards, student public funding standards and so on. These contents related to unification are all reflected in the revision of laws in different forms.
(3) Mandatory

Whoever violates this obligation will be regulated by law.
