Should compulsory education in China be extended?
There are reasons and backgrounds for extending the length of compulsory education, which are reflected in dealing with the involution of education, solving the shortage of working population and improving the quality of the people. At the same time, the reform of compulsory education involves people's livelihood and national security. The government must be calm when making decisions, and it needs systematic and overall thinking before it can enter the decision-making level and promote decision-making and policy formulation according to law.

First of all, the expression of relevant opinions and suggestions is the exercise of rights, and the adoption of relevant opinions and suggestions needs to be carried out according to law. The school education system that implements nine-year compulsory education is legal, and the specific matters within the academic system are within the authority of the central government and are stipulated by the education administrative department authorized by the State Council or the State Council. The suggestions, proposals and motions put forward by scholars, CPPCC members and deputies to the National People's Congress are all based on the application of the specific rights of different subjects in the third paragraph of Article 2 of the Constitution. How to adopt them also needs to be carried out in accordance with the education law and other laws and related procedures.

Whether it is the proposal of CPPCC members, the suggestions of NPC deputies, the opinions of scholars and experts, or the appeal of the public, the more enthusiastic the social concern, the more calm the decision-making should be. Because only those who are "good at looking at education from politics, paying attention to education from people's livelihood and caring about education from the country" can comprehensively and systematically understand the essence of education and make scientific decisions and policies with the rule of law thinking, so as to steadily and effectively promote education reform.

Secondly, to understand the connotation of compulsory education, we must promote systematic thinking, overall governance and legalization. Compulsory, free and universal have always been the three essential characteristics of compulsory education, which are progressive in turn.
