I. Compulsory education

Compulsory education is a universal, compulsory and free school education for all school-age children and adolescents according to law. It is the basis of improving national quality and the starting point of realizing social equity. Receiving compulsory education is the basic right of citizens, and the implementation of compulsory education has always been the top priority of China's educational reform and development.

At the beginning of this century, China achieved the goal of popularizing nine-year compulsory education, and first solved the problem of "education" for school-age children and adolescents according to law. After compulsory education is fully popularized and free, the state clearly regards the balanced development of compulsory education as the top priority of compulsory education, and strives to achieve the goal of "good study" for all school-age children and adolescents.

Second, the essence of education.

1, public welfare

The so-called public welfare means that it is clearly stipulated that "tuition and miscellaneous fees are not charged". Public welfare and freedom are linked. For example, Article 2 of the revised Compulsory Education Law stipulates that the state implements a nine-year compulsory education system. Compulsory education is a compulsory education for all school-age children and adolescents and a public welfare undertaking that the state must guarantee.

Step 2 be consistent

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. Commanding

Coercion is also called coercion. It is the obligation of schools, parents and society to let school-age children and adolescents receive compulsory education. Whoever violates this obligation will be regulated by law. If parents don't send their students to school, they should bear the responsibility; Schools do not accept school-age children and adolescents to go to school, and schools should bear the responsibility; The government does not provide corresponding conditions, but it must also be regulated by law.
