Hong Mingji, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), suggested that the 12-year period of basic education be shortened to nine years, that is, five years of primary school, two years of junior high school, and two years of high school. Personally, I thinkCommittee member Hong Mingji's proposal was put forward on the basis of in-depth investigation and study of education work, and it is reasonable and necessary.
According to the current school age and school system, a child starts primary school at the age of 6 and is at least 22 years old by the time he graduates from university. However, if the primary and secondary school education system is shortened to 9 years, children can graduate from college at the age of 19, and then talk about marriage and buy a house after a few years of social adaptation, the pressure will be much less, and at the same time, it can also appropriately increase social employment and alleviate the problem of aging.
Some people may worry that the shortened school period will reduce the learning content and affect the child's knowledge reserve. But this impact is very limited: first, in the eighties of the last century, China implemented a five-year primary school system, compared with the current six-year system, the educational effect is not much worse; Second, many junior high schools and high schools now complete the three-year course in two years, and the last year is mainly used for revision, so the reduction of one year from junior high school and high school does not have much impact on children's learning knowledge.
Education must serve the socialist modernization drive and the people, and must be integrated with production, labor, and social practice to cultivate socialist builders and people with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique, and aesthetics. "This is China's education policy, so that children can integrate into society as soon as possible, adapt to society, and use the knowledge they have learned to serve the modernization drive, which is a necessary move to implement the education policy. Because it is undeniable that under the current education system, the longer some children study, the more difficult it is to adapt to society, and they cannot find a job, or simply do not look for a job and stay at home to "gnaw at the old" and become full-time children, which has become a failure of education. It is proposed that 12 years of basic education be shortened to 9 years
