Junior high school is promoted from the sixth grade of primary school. The policy of primary school entering junior high school is defined by the district and county education committees, which mainly includes the examination policy and computer allocation policy in some counties and cities. Junior high schools are divided into key schools and ordinary schools, and some schools also have key classes (also called experimental classes) and ordinary classes. Most junior high schools have three years, that is, grades 7, 8 and 9 (grades 1 to 3), regardless of arts and sciences.

Generally speaking, learn new knowledge in the first two years, prepare for the senior high school entrance examination in the third year, and then enter high school, technical school or vocational high school.

The learning task of junior high school:

When students enter junior high school, the courses they study are very different from those in primary schools. Students will be exposed to many new subjects. The new courses in junior high school include history, geography, physics, chemistry and biology, and some subjects will be changed in each grade. Chinese, mathematics, English, morality and rule of law will run through junior high school for three years.

Geography, biology and history will be offered in grade seven, physics in grade eight and chemistry in grade nine.

The reason why junior high school courses are arranged in this way is mainly to consider students' acceptance ability. The first-year students who have just entered junior high school are also influenced by the learning thoughts and habits of primary schools, so it is not suitable to offer theoretical subjects such as physics and chemistry in junior high school, and they need junior high school mathematics knowledge as a foreshadowing.
