In which year did China implement nine-year compulsory education?
China implemented nine-year compulsory education from 65438 to 0986. By 2000, after more than ten years of unremitting efforts, China has achieved the goal of "basically popularizing nine-year compulsory education and basically eliminating illiteracy among young and middle-aged people". In the new century, with the continuous promotion of the "two basics", the problem that rural children at all levels of governments and education administrative departments in the western region are "difficult to attend school and unable to stay" has been basically solved, and the appearance of rural schools in the western region has undergone fundamental changes. Now in rural areas, the best houses in many places are in schools. Children in some remote mountainous schools cook with three stones, and the phenomenon that many people squeeze a bed has become history. For the first time in thousands of years, regular schools have been established in some mountains and remote areas, and children's reading sounds are ringing on campus. By the end of 2007, the national "two basics" population coverage rate will increase to over 99%.
