Compulsory education originated in Germany. The religious leader Martin Luther was the first person to put forward the concept of compulsory education. 16 19, the School Law promulgated by the German Weimar Principality stipulated that parents should send their children aged 6- 12 to school, which is the earliest compulsory education.

From 1763 to 18 19, Germany has basically improved the laws and regulations on compulsory education. After the industrial revolution, compulsory education has played a role in enabling people to master industrial knowledge. The time of compulsory education has also developed from the earliest three months to six months, and then to six years. Until now, it has been widely adopted in all countries in the world for nine years.
