Primary education is generally a six-year system, which is divided into three stages: the first and second grades are called lower grades, the third and fourth grades are called middle grades, and the fifth and sixth grades are called higher grades. At the beginning of 1970, based on the concept of "education should be revolutionized and the length of schooling should be shortened", the six-year primary school system was changed to five-year primary school system. 1979, the five-year system changed back to the six-year system.
Middle school, also called junior high school and junior high school, is the abbreviation of "middle school" and belongs to a major type of school. The knowledge it teaches is higher than that of primary schools and lower than that of universities, and it is in a "middle position". The age of students in school is generally 1 1, 12 to17,65438+. Middle schools are divided into junior middle schools and senior middle schools, with a schooling of three years each.

During the First World War, because the western countries were busy with the war, they relaxed their plunder and control of China and further developed China's modern industry. After the war, the national bourgeoisie demanded not only to create conditions for continuous development in politics and economy, but also to provide a labor force with cultural knowledge and science and technology in education.
However, the original education system and education can no longer meet the requirements of the new situation. With bourgeois educators Shen Enfu, Huang Yanpei and Jing Hengyi as the main representatives, the draft education system was drafted with the aim of "adapting to the needs of social evolution, giving full play to the spirit of civilian education, seeking personality development, and attaching importance to the country's economic strength and degree".
The draft points out that primary and secondary education should adopt the 633 system of American education, that is, six years in primary school, three years in junior high school and three years in senior high school. Because it was promulgated in 1922, and this year is the year of the old calendar, it is also called "non-defensive academic system" or "633" academic system.
