Compulsory education has always been the top priority of China's educational reform and development. At the beginning of this century, China achieved the goal of popularizing nine-year compulsory education, and first solved the problem of "education" for school-age children and adolescents according to law. After compulsory education is fully popularized and free, the state clearly regards the balanced development of compulsory education as the top priority of compulsory education, and strives to achieve the goal of "good study" for all school-age children and adolescents.
