For the suggestion made by Commissioner Li Xiaohong, National People's Congress representative and principal of Chongqing Number One Middle School, Lu Shankan expressed that the idea of appropriately adjusting the school system for primary and secondary schools is worth considering. In many places abroad, such as in the United States, a school system with four years of elementary school, four years of junior high school, and four years of high school is widely implemented.
Some provinces and cities in our country have also tried and continue to implement a "five-four school system," meaning five years of elementary school and four years of junior high school. It was learned that last July, primary and secondary schools in Jining City, Shandong Province also began changing from a "six-three school system" to a "five-four school system."
