--FILE--Pupils attend classes at a school in Rongjiang county, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Guizhou province, 18 September 2017. China has issued a guideline on educational reform to improve educational fairness and quality. The guideline, jointly released by the General Office of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council, said that educational reform should increase people's "sense of gain." China has the largest public education sector in the world. As of the end of 2016, China had 512, 000 schools and 265 million students in schools. China has a full coverage of nine-year compulsory education. Gross enrollment rate in senior high school reached 87.5 percent in 2016, with higher education at 42.7 percent. Experts said deepening education reform should break the barriers that impair educational fairness and should improve educational quality.
