The head of the Department of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education responded that it is impossible to upgrade the nine-year compulsory education to a twelve-year system at this stage.

The person in charge said that this year, the Ministry of Education and other four departments issued the "High School Education Popularization Plan (20 17-2020)", proposing to popularize high school education throughout the country by 2020. But universality, obligation and free are three different concepts. Popularizing high school education focuses on solving the problem of learning, not bringing high school education into compulsory education or implementing free education.

The official said that compulsory education is universal, balanced, compulsory and free. The Compulsory Education Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) clearly stipulates that China will implement nine-year compulsory education.

Compulsory education is the most important. By 20 16, the consolidation level of nine-year compulsory education in China has reached 93.4%, and remarkable achievements have been made in promoting the balanced development of compulsory education. However, the problem of unbalanced and insufficient development of compulsory education is still outstanding, and the task of further improving the consolidation level and balanced development level of compulsory education in the future is still arduous.

These contents related to unification are all reflected in the revision of laws in different forms.
