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.
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.

This is the beginning of compulsory education. Most capitalist countries, such as Britain, France and the United States, implemented compulsory education after the 1970s.
According to the statistics of UNESCO, by the end of 1970s and the beginning of 1980s, nearly 60 countries had implemented compulsory education laws. The length of compulsory education in each country is generally determined by the country's economic development level and cultural and educational level. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the common program of China People's Political Consultative Conference, which played an early role as a provisional constitution, and the national constitution, which was formally promulgated later, clearly stipulated that citizens have the right and obligation to receive education. 1985 the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's "Decision on the Reform of the Education System" on May 27th pointed out that compulsory education, that is, the national education guaranteed by the state, society and family for school-age children and adolescents as stipulated by law, is necessary for the development of modern production and life and a symbol of modern civilization.
In the late Qing Dynasty, most countries in Europe and America and Japan in Asia implemented compulsory education.

In July and August of that year, the Ministry of Education of the Qing government sent someone to preside over a central education conference in Beijing, and the meeting resolved the Charter of Pilot Compulsory Education and other documents.

19 12, the Ministry of Education of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China promulgated the Academic System Order, which also stipulated that "four years of primary school education is compulsory". At this point, the compulsory education that has been proposed and brewed for more than 10 years since the late Qing Dynasty has finally been recognized. From 65438 to 0937, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China promulgated the Interim Measures for School-age Children in Compulsory Education. The concept of compulsory education in this period is compulsory education. 1940 In April, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China formulated the Outline for the Implementation of National Education, which stipulated that national education should be divided into compulsory education and remedial education for dropouts, and both of them should be implemented at the same time.
