It was not until 2000 that China began to popularize nine-year compulsory education nationwide. Since 2000, there are only six years in primary school, three years in junior high school and three years in senior high school. That is to say, before 2000, the educational system of all primary schools in China was five years, and junior high schools were three years.
Rejuvenating the country through science and education is an important development strategy of our country. While science and technology have achieved fruitful results, education has also developed very rapidly and made great achievements.
In order to popularize the nine-year compulsory education, the government specially formulated the Compulsory Education Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). By the end of the 20th century, compulsory education was basically popularized throughout the country, and illiteracy among young people was eliminated.
At the same time, secondary education has also made great progress, and both general education and vocational education have met various educational needs.
At the same time, higher education has also made great progress. A number of key universities have been built one after another, with strong teachers and rich disciplines and specialties, which have trained a large number of talents for the country.
In fact, as a person with a normal education, he should know the specific time when the country began to popularize nine-year compulsory education. The second volume of the eighth grade history textbook has a corresponding introduction. By studying at school, we can know when the nine-year compulsory education began to be popularized.
