What does it mean to popularize compulsory education in senior high school?
Popularizing high school education is an important strategic decision made by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council in the decisive stage of building a well-off society in an all-round way. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee proposed "popularizing high school education".

The Outline of the National 13th Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development lists the popularization of high school education as a major project of educational modernization. Popularizing high school education is an important measure to further improve the overall quality of the people, the competitiveness of the labor force and build a strong country with human resources after popularizing nine-year compulsory education in China, which is of great significance and far-reaching influence.

The state has made a plan, and the Ministry of Education said that it is expected that by 2020, the whole country will realize 12 years of compulsory education, that is, high schools will be included in compulsory education. Compulsory education needs the state to increase economic input, so it needs to be gradual. At present, some provinces and cities have implemented 12 year compulsory education. If students cancel the senior high school entrance examination, the study burden should be reduced.

The essence of compulsory education is the system of compulsory education for school-age children and adolescents in a certain period according to law. Compulsory education is also called compulsory education and free compulsory education. Compulsory education has the basic characteristics of compulsory, free, universal and secular.

During the Republic of China, it was generally believed that the illiteracy rate was 80%. For example, Chairman Mao put forward in his report 1945 "On Coalition Government": "It is an important task for the new China to eliminate illiteracy among 80% of the population." Just after the founding of New China, the central leadership has reached the education level of developed countries in one step, which reflects the firm belief that no matter how poor the country is, it cannot be poor in education.
