In recent years, the situation of provincial public middle schools is worrying. Some schools are not only reducing the enrollment scale, but also the quality of students is declining. If this trend is not corrected in time, it will cause serious interference to compulsory education, which is not conducive to the rational allocation of educational resources and will also cause substantial damage to compulsory education. Compulsory education should not become a speculative market to make money, but should vigorously support public junior high schools so that more children can enjoy quality education.
In some unpopular public junior high schools, the number of students has dropped sharply, some by two-thirds, and some junior high schools that are weak in people's eyes are even close to empty nests. For most children who choose public schools, in the compulsory education stage, there is a de facto inequality in the possession of educational resources with children who enter private schools. In the compulsory education stage, private schools become synonymous with high-quality resources, and public schools become synonymous with poor education.
