compulsory education
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 according to law. Its duration is nine years, which is also called nine-year compulsory education.
In the compulsory education stage, students can enjoy free educational resources, including tuition fees and books. At the same time, the state also has strict regulations on compulsory education, that is, every school-age child and teenager must receive compulsory education, regardless of their family economic conditions and social status.
The importance of compulsory education
People are the source of all development and progress, and education is the foundation for people to have the power to create and progress, the foundation for national development and the lasting driving force for development. Education, as a basic skill for people to settle down in society, is also the livelihood issue that people are most concerned about. ?

It is free and compulsory.

Faced with the rising cost of education after nine-year compulsory education, people are increasingly eager to extend the length of compulsory education.
