Since 1949 when the People's Republic of China was founded, Chinese government has always been placing the education on its higher agenda, which has promulgated multiple codes to protect the education rights of its population from different angels, especially of ethical groups, children, women and disabled. Through uninterrupted efforts in the past five decades, China has made significant progress in its education sector.

The K9 compulsory education is being implemented nationwide in stages in a planned way; primary schooling has been prevailed in areas concentrating 91% of Chinese population; higher education, occupational and polytechnic education, diversified adult education and ethical education have been developed rapidly. All these have contributed to a multilayered, diversified and discipline-inclusive education system in China and facilitated the cross-border communication and cooperation in education sector.
