Is Japan's nine-year compulsory education or twelve-year compulsory education? When did China start 12-year compulsory education?
Japan has nine-year compulsory education. Our country still has nine-year compulsory education, and the plan to implement twelve-year compulsory education is still under discussion.

Twelve-year compulsory education refers to bringing high school education into the scope of compulsory education and implementing twelve-year compulsory education. This measure has been tried in some areas of China, but it is mainly concentrated in developed areas such as coastal areas and has not been widely promoted. 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.

Compulsory education is a national education that all school-age children and adolescents must accept, and the state, society and families must guarantee it according to the Constitution. Its essence is a system of compulsory education for school-age children and adolescents for a certain period of time in accordance with the provisions of the law. Compulsory education is also called compulsory education and free compulsory education. Compulsory education has the basic characteristics of compulsory, public welfare and popularization. The period of compulsory education stipulated in China's Compulsory Education Law is nine years (six years in primary school, three years in junior high school, five years in primary school and four years in junior high school in some provinces and cities), which is in line with China's basic national conditions and is appropriate.
