The Compulsory Education Law of the People's Republic of China is a law formulated in accordance with the Constitution and the Education Law to guarantee the right of school-age children and adolescents to receive compulsory education, ensure the implementation of compulsory education and improve the quality of the whole nation.
Basic characteristics of primary education:

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 197, 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. In 1979, the five-year system was changed back to the six-year system.
