According to the statistics of UNESCO, by the end of 1970s and the beginning of 1980s, nearly 60 countries had implemented compulsory education laws. The length of compulsory education in each country is generally determined by the country's economic development level and cultural and educational level. The compulsory education in most states in Europe and America is 13, and many states are currently transitioning to 15.
With the development of modern science and technology, the content of textbooks formulated by countries in the last century has failed to keep up with the needs of the times. The rapid development of Internet, big data, aerospace, artificial intelligence, quantum physics and other technologies has forced countries to strengthen the intensity and duration of compulsory education.
