Twelve-year compulsory education refers to bringing high school education into the scope of compulsory education and implementing twelve-year compulsory education. China Special Economic Zone, ethnic minority areas, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Hebei have all tried free high school education and achieved good response. However, it is mainly concentrated in ethnic areas, coastal areas and other developed areas, and has not been widely popularized.
From 2065438 to March 2007, during the National People's Congress, delegates discussed 12 year compulsory education. Some CPPCC members suggested popularizing 12-year compulsory education throughout the country. There are different opinions from all walks of life. Some scholars believe that the time is not yet ripe, while others believe that China's basic conditions are already in place. Therefore, the proposal of popularizing 12-year compulsory education in the whole country is still being further demonstrated.
Extended data
Agree to four reasons
First, China has the economic strength to implement 12 year compulsory education. In 20 10, the national GDP was 39,798.3 billion yuan, the economic aggregate was the second in the world, and it had enough financial resources to implement 12-year compulsory education;
Second, the high school education of rural and urban children can be guaranteed by law, which relatively eliminates the problem of unfair education;
Third, the overall quality of young and middle-aged workers in China can be improved. The development of modern economy and science and technology requires workers to have at least a high school education.
Fourth, "education is the cheapest national defense"-high-quality workers can not only bring higher interests, but also make the country long-term stability.
Three reasons for opposition:
1. First, lack of financial resources. Committee member Wei Zhaung believes that China, as a big country with a population of 654.38+0.3 billion, only exempted tuition and miscellaneous fees in recent two years, and many local governments are under considerable pressure for this, and the per capita funds can only be maintained at a low level.
2. Secondly, the situation of rural compulsory education teachers is generally worrying. He pointed out that many rural schools still have temporary substitute teachers, and the quantity and quality need to be strengthened.
Third, nine-year compulsory education has not been fully popularized. Wei Zhaung said that there are more and more migrant workers, and a considerable proportion of migrant workers' children have not entered public schools, so they can only go to private primary schools and junior high schools, where they still have to pay tuition and fees; In some remote and backward rural areas, the task of "popularizing nine-year compulsory education" is still very arduous, and the proposal of 12-year compulsory education is bound to aggravate the existing educational injustice.
