Compulsory education originated in Germany. The religious leader Martin Luther was the first person to put forward the concept of compulsory education. After the victory of reform, in order to enable people to learn the Bible, Luther promulgated the compulsory education law.
16 19, the School Law promulgated by the German Weimar Principality stipulated that parents should send their children aged 6~ 12 to school, which is the earliest compulsory education. From 1763 to 18 19, Germany has basically improved the laws and regulations on compulsory education.
After the industrial revolution, compulsory education played a role in making people master industrial knowledge, and the time of compulsory education also ranged from the earliest 3 months to 6 months to 6 years, until 9 years. Only by conforming to the scientific development level and height at that time and mastering the basic operation of industrial manufacturing at that time.
The meaning of obligation includes the obligation of parents and families to make school-age children go to school, the obligation of the state to set up schools to promote learning so that citizens can enjoy education, and the obligation of the whole society to eliminate all kinds of adverse effects that hinder the sound development of school-age children. In the European Reformation Movement in the16th century, Protestant countries advocated extensive education in order to promote religious education.
The nature of compulsory education:
First, public welfare.
The so-called public welfare means that it is clearly stipulated that "tuition and miscellaneous fees are not charged". Public welfare and freedom are linked. For example, Article 2 of the revised Compulsory Education Law stipulates that the state implements a nine-year compulsory education system. Compulsory education is a compulsory education for all school-age children and adolescents and a public welfare undertaking that the state must guarantee.
Second, unity.
Unity is always an idea. From beginning to end, the new law emphasizes the implementation of national unified compulsory education, including the formulation of unified teaching material setting standards, teaching standards, funding standards, construction standards, student public funding standards and so on. These contents related to unification are all reflected in the revision of laws in different forms.
Third, mandatory.
Coercion is also called coercion. It is the obligation of schools, parents and society to let school-age children and adolescents receive compulsory education. Whoever violates this obligation will be regulated by law. If parents don't send their students to school, they should bear the responsibility; Schools do not accept school-age children and adolescents to go to school, and schools should bear the responsibility; The government does not provide corresponding conditions, but it must also be regulated by law.
