According to the Ministry of Education, by 2020, 12 compulsory education will be fully implemented throughout the country. However, the implementation of 12 compulsory education is a big project, which requires local governments to plan and design schools and teachers in advance, and it takes a long time.

If the local economic development level is not high enough to complete the supporting tasks of compulsory education in a short time, it can be implemented later. At present, there are few areas where 12 compulsory education can be realized next year, and it should be basically implemented simultaneously in 2020. Even if you can't catch up, it's not a problem to be admitted to high school as long as you have confidence and study hard.

According to experts, the problem of "separation of general education and vocational education" still exists when compulsory education is extended to 12 years. 2 1 Xiong Bingqi, president of Century Education Research Institute, told China Newsweek, "Under the school-running mode of' separation of general education and vocational education' in senior high school, it is impossible to bring senior high school education into compulsory education, because it is necessary to determine whether to enter an ordinary senior high school or a secondary vocational school through the senior high school entrance examination, and there are obvious differences in school-running quality and characteristics between ordinary senior high school and secondary vocational school."

In his view, due to the basic characteristics of compulsory education, such as balance, compulsory, free and compulsory, in order to bring high school education into compulsory education in China, we must first solve the problem of separation of general education and vocational education, that is, we must build all high schools into comprehensive high schools and realize the balanced development of comprehensive high schools. In addition, some experts in the industry worry that if high schools are included in compulsory education, it will lead to the decline of vocational and technical colleges.
