Since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the development of education has achieved two leaps. For the first time, it completed the transformation from an illiterate country to a cultural country, and for the second time, it completed the historic transformation from a populous country to an educational country. In the stage of strengthening the country by education, the main task is to solve the problems of education quality, structure and efficiency and improve the international competitiveness of education.

Because education is the cornerstone of national development, education is related to national prosperity, people's well-being and the future of the country, and education involves thousands of families. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council have always attached great importance to the development of education. According to the overall arrangement of the central government and the reality of current education development, it is very necessary to formulate a medium-and long-term education reform and development plan.

This is the first education plan in China since the beginning of 2 1 century. It is of great significance to formulate a plan that satisfies the people and conforms to China's national conditions and the characteristics of the times.
