Bian Xiao believes that shortening the primary school system will help increase the review time for the senior high school entrance examination and help children get into better high schools. Due to the existence of the nine-year compulsory education system, the primary school system is shortened by one year, so the junior high school time is bound to increase by one year. In the case that the total amount of knowledge remains unchanged, this is equivalent to giving children one more year to cope with the review of the senior high school entrance examination. Some people worry that shortening the one-year school system may affect children's acceptance of the knowledge in the book, but in fact Bian Xiao thinks this is not a problem. Because the knowledge of primary school is not difficult for today's children, the impact of compressing one year will not be so great.
Shortening the primary school system may cause regional imbalance. If we want to implement the plan to shorten the academic system, it is obviously impossible to implement it nationwide in a short time. For some pilot cities, extending junior high school for one year enhances children's competitiveness in the process of senior high school entrance examination, which may lead to the imbalance of regional educational resources to some extent. However, considering that junior high school knowledge is not difficult at this stage, such imbalance may be within an acceptable range.
However, according to the Ministry of Education, there is no policy to change the academic system recently, which means that there will not be many changes in a short time. Parents should pay more attention to their children's current learning status rather than worrying about these distant policies.
