History

From March 23 to April 13, 1979, the inaugural national education science planning meeting was convened by the Bureau of the General Assembly, with participation from all delegates. On April 12, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences jointly organized a National Conference on Education Science Planning, announcing the establishment of the planning framework for June 1979 and January 1980. By December 1980, three enlarged executive meetings had been held in Beijing to summarize the work and amend the constitution.
At the Two Sessions in 2016, Zhu Yongxing, deputy director of the Chinese Society of Education, discussed two areas in the education system in China requiring reform: Improving the quality of education to prevent so many Chinese youth from feeling compelled to study abroad and the lack of education for migrant workers.
