Nine-year compulsory education has been implemented since 1986. After People's Republic of China (PRC) Compulsory Education Law was formally passed in 2006, nine-year compulsory education has obviously become a more compulsory right and obligation. Public welfare, universality and compulsion are the basic characteristics of nine-year compulsory education.

At the Sixth National People's Congress held in mid-April, 1986, the People's Republic of China (PRC) Compulsory Education Law was passed for the first time, and in July of the same year, nine-year compulsory education was formally implemented. After the implementation of the new Compulsory Education Law in September 2006, compulsory education was popularized throughout the country.

Nine-year compulsory education is the basis of improving the quality of the people, and it is also an important condition to ensure that all school-age children can go to school. As the starting point of realizing social equity, nine-year compulsory education is of great significance to improving the overall quality of the people, so it is the responsibility of every citizen to support the implementation of nine-year compulsory education.
