In China, the current basic education includes preschool education (generally 3-5 years old), compulsory education (generally 6- 15 years old), high school education (generally 16- 19 years old) and literacy education.

Basic education is a national quality education for all students. Its fundamental purpose is to improve the quality of the whole nation and lay a solid foundation for all school-age children and adolescents to study for life and participate in social life.

Basic education plays an overall, basic and leading role in improving the quality of the Chinese nation, cultivating talents at all levels and promoting socialist modernization.

First stage: early childhood education.

1, China's preschool education is an important part of China's education, and its form is mainly urban kindergartens, with three-year system and one-year or two-year system; There are full-time, half-day, boarding and timing systems. In rural areas, preschool is the main form, but with the continuous development of society, many kindergartens have been established in rural areas.

2. Kindergartens implement the principle of combining conservation with education, and educate children for all-round physical, intellectual, moral and aesthetic development, so as to ensure the harmonious development of children's body and mind and make good preparations before entering school.

3. Kindergarten education is a purposeful, planned and multiform process to guide children's active development. Kindergarten takes games as the basic activity content, creates a good environment suitable for education, and provides opportunities and conditions for children to live and express their abilities.

4. Early childhood is the best period for children's brain development and intellectual development. During this period, if children are properly educated in the right way, so that they can receive professional education and enhance their expressive and behavioral abilities, it will play an important role in children's physical growth and development, personality perfection, creativity and imagination.

5, so parents should pay attention to cultivate children's reasonable and normal regular life, cultivate children's awareness of rules, encourage children to actively participate, teach children independence, educate children to be polite, cultivate children's good hygiene habits, and lay a solid foundation for their future development.

Second, the second stage: compulsory education.

1, compulsory education is a national education that school-age children and adolescents must receive according to regulations and is guaranteed by the state, society and family. Its essence is a system of compulsory education for school-age children and adolescents in a certain period according to the provisions of the law.

In fact, this is a compulsory education system for school-age children and adolescents for a certain number of years according to law. The annual limit is nine years, which is also called nine-year compulsory education. Compulsory education is also called compulsory education and free compulsory education. Compulsory education has the basic characteristics of compulsory, free, universal and secular.

3. Compulsory education includes two stages: primary school and junior high school. Compulsory education is the basis of improving national quality and the starting point of realizing social equity. Receiving compulsory education is the basic right of citizens, implementing compulsory education is an important duty of the government, and supporting compulsory education is the common task of the whole society.

Compulsory education is the starting point, but it is by no means the end of our education. So everyone should correctly understand the importance of compulsory education.

Third, the third stage: the high school education stage.

1, high school education has always been an important stage of education, which is related to a child's future. The essence of educational modernization is the modernization of people, and it is the modernization of people's ideas, thinking ability and social ability.

2. In particular, high school students should pay attention to the cultivation of literacy to adapt to globalization and informationization. Senior high school students' learning is no longer just a cognitive development, but a scientific exploration of human life, which is based on problems, evidence and explanations.

3. Therefore, high schools should change their teaching methods, teach students to collect evidence independently, and make their own judgments and choices, so as to become veritable modern high school students. Of course, senior high school students are under great pressure of the college entrance examination, and some of them are in adolescence, so the children's psychology will change greatly during this period. Parents and teachers should not only care about their studies, but also their psychological problems.

Fourth, literacy education.

1, literacy education should be given to people who can't read, write and calculate. In China, eliminating illiteracy is a mass work. Before the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), China's culture and education were very backward. During the new democratic revolution, under his leadership, China launched a mass literacy campaign in the revolutionary base areas, and achieved good results.

2. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the people's government took literacy as an important task. In the 1980s, the task of literacy was still very heavy. The data shows that the number of illiterate people in 1982 is 235 million. At that time, the trend of farmers working in cities was on the rise, and "illiteracy" became a major obstacle to entering cities.

3. In 2000, the national adult illiteracy rate dropped to 9.08%, and the illiteracy rate among young adults dropped below 4%. China finally got rid of the label of the world's first "illiterate country". At the beginning of 2009, the Literacy Department of the Ministry of Education was abolished.
