At present, China implements "nine-year compulsory education", which means that primary school and junior high school are free compulsory education, but senior high school is not within the scope of compulsory education, and it is also the most important stage in school. Many parents complain that high school is the most expensive time.
Moreover, parents feel that it is reasonable to include high school in "compulsory education" because of the serious depreciation of academic qualifications. They hope to popularize high school and give students the opportunity to enter the college entrance examination instead of being diverted early. The voice of the people has also been taken seriously to a certain extent, and many areas have announced "free education in senior high schools", which has given parents hope.
Another official announced "free high school education", which is expected to be fully implemented in September. Netizen: Please popularize it.
Although the education system is controlled by the state, each region also has its own exploration space and authority, so many regions will introduce some distinctive education systems and policies according to the actual situation.
Near the start of the autumn semester, the governor of Zhangzhou, Fujian announced "free education for senior high schools" and has issued relevant documents, clearly indicating that tuition fees for senior high school students in local schools will be exempted. The free standard is 600 yuan per semester, and the total annual income is 1200 yuan, which is expected to be fully implemented in the autumn semester.
In view of why this system was introduced, the local education bureau gave an answer, mainly to make migrant children "get in, stay and learn well", to provide students with high-quality educational resources and growth environment, and to make parents more practical.
