  The State Council Information Office held a press conference on the 31st. At the meeting, reporters asked questions. The 14th Five-Year Plan proposes to consolidate and improve the level of popularization of high school education, encourage the diversified development of high school schools, and increase the gross enrollment rate of high school education to 92 % Or more. During the National Two Sessions this year, many representatives proposed to revitalize the development of county middle schools and prohibit super middle schools from enrolling students across regions. What considerations does the Ministry of Education have?

  "This topic is very big. I understand that there are three topics. One is the problem of consolidating and improving the level of popularization, the other is the construction of county high schools, and the other is the order of enrollment." Lu Yugang said that high school education is part of the entire national education system. China is in a key position to link the above and the next.

Senior high school education includes general high school and secondary vocational education. Secondary vocational education is in charge of the Vocational Education Department, and the Basic Department is mainly responsible for ordinary high school education.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the state implemented a plan for popularizing high school education. By the end of 2020, the gross enrollment rate of high school education across the country will reach 91.2%, which has successfully achieved the popularization goal set by the central government.

  Lu Yugang pointed out that the central government set a goal of reaching 90% across the country and all provinces, and finally achieved the goal of 91.2%.

Because of the special status of high school education, the next step is to do the following work.

  The first is to focus on consolidating and improving the level of popularization, and continue to implement a number of projects such as the general high school renovation plan and the vocational education quality improvement plan.

Continue to expand high school education resources, actively dissolve the large class size of ordinary high schools, and ensure that the gross enrollment rate of high school education during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period reaches 92% or more. This is the work goal during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period to further improve the education level of the people , To better serve the country’s talent strategy.

  The second is to further strengthen the construction of county-level ordinary high schools.

There are 14,200 general high schools in our country and 7,200 county high schools, accounting for half of the country. The number of students at school is more than half, reaching 14.684 million.

This year’s "Government Work Report" particularly emphasizes the importance of strengthening the construction of county high schools.

County high schools are vital to the strategy of rural revitalization and to promote the balanced development of compulsory education.

There is a reason that everyone can easily understand. If a county's high school is not well developed, it will be difficult for the county's basic education to develop well, so this leader must be built well.

  The next step will be to combine the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy to lead compulsory education to achieve high-quality and balanced development. It is necessary to study and formulate an action plan for the development and improvement of county-level ordinary high schools, and make efforts in terms of optimizing structural layout, improving school conditions, strengthening teacher team building, and improving policy guarantee It is a very important task this year to comprehensively improve the level of running schools in the county.

  The third is to further standardize the enrollment order of ordinary high schools and strengthen enrollment management.

Regarding regular high school enrollment order as an important task of building a high-quality education system, adhere to the symptom and root cause, highlight the problem orientation, follow local conditions, and strive to standardize the enrollment order of ordinary high schools.

It is necessary to further scientifically formulate general high school enrollment plans, strictly regulate the scope of enrollment, and improve the index to school policy. This is very important to promote the balanced development of compulsory education.

To implement the requirements of "citizens with the same recruitment", the central government issued Zhongfa No. 26 in 2019, which not only stipulates requirements for the implementation of "citizens the same recruitment" in compulsory education, but also sets clear requirements for "citizens with the same recruitment" in ordinary high schools. , We must conscientiously implement the requirements of the central government's policy, further strictly enforce the discipline of admissions, resolutely stop illegal cross-regional pinch admissions, and promote the sustained, healthy and coordinated development of ordinary high school education.

thank you all.
