Is it true to implement 12 compulsory education? At present, high school education cannot be included in compulsory education. The main task of high school education is to speed up the pace of popularization and meet the needs of junior high school graduates to receive high school education. In response to the recent news that "the nine-year compulsory education will be upgraded to a twelve-year system and the senior high school entrance examination will be cancelled", the head of the Department of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education responded that it is impossible to upgrade the nine-year compulsory education to a twelve-year system at this stage. Compulsory education has at least two characteristics, one is free and the other is compulsory. Everyone understands compulsory education as free education, but ignores its compulsory and balanced requirements. The Compulsory Education Law stipulates that the state implements a nine-year compulsory education system, which is compulsory education for all school-age children and adolescents. Even though high school education is free, if it is included in compulsory education, it means that junior high school graduates must receive high school education after completing their junior high school studies. Judging from the current situation, it is obviously unrealistic.
I recommend that compulsory education be upgraded to 12. Will the senior high school entrance examination be cancelled?
What will be implemented in 2020? The "High School Education Popularization Plan (20 17~2020)" published by the Ministry of Education proposes that by 2020, high school education will be popularized throughout the country to meet the needs of junior high school graduates to receive good high school education.
Is popularizing high school equal to changing high school into compulsory education? Popularizing high school education, many people understand whether to include high school education in compulsory education. In April this year, the Ministry of Education held a press conference on the plan to popularize high school education. The head of the Department of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education specifically pointed out that this plan is also to popularize high school education on the basis of emphasizing the priority development of compulsory education. "There is no proposal to include high school education in compulsory education, nor is there a proposal for free high school education." Same as above, free high school is not equal to compulsory education. Free high school is not forcing everyone to go to high school. Before compulsory education is included in high school, the senior high school entrance examination is still required. Even after high school is included in compulsory education, the senior high school entrance examination may still exist, because after all, it is necessary to separate ordinary high schools from secondary vocational schools, and perhaps the admission method has changed, and it is no longer just about grades, so it is more independent.
As can be seen from the above, the implementation of 12 compulsory education in 2020 is completely false news. China will implement universal high school education in 2020, which is totally different from the implementation of 12 compulsory education. I hope you can correctly distinguish the authenticity. ?
