This is due to Shenzhen’s determination and courage to overcome the extraordinary degree, as well as the wisdom and responsibility to increase the radiation and guidance of high-quality educational resources through group-based schooling .
Education prospers, and cities prosper.

In 2013, it was named one of the first batch of advanced cities in Guangdong to promote education modernization. In 2014, all administrative regions passed the supervision and acceptance of the basic balanced area for the development of compulsory education.
Over the past decade, Shenzhen has embarked on a path of high-quality development of education in super-large-scale immigrant cities. The dream of "good education for children and good education for students" is reflected in reality in Shenzhen.
is different from the trend of declining student sources and decreasing school numbers in many areas. Shenzhen has the fastest growth rate of population in first-tier cities. In recent years, the net population inflow has reached 400,000 to 500,000 people each year. Comprehensive policies such as ", two-child " have also kept Shenzhen's permanent population at a high level, bringing a rigid demand for degrees.
In the minds of many people, "A city is very good, but it is hard to say it is not good if there is enough degree."
has been increasing the supply of university degrees for the past decade.
In terms of preschool education, the proportion of children in public kindergartens in kindergartens increased from less than 4% in 2018 to 51.6% of in 2021, and the proportion of 87% of in general parks reached 87% of ; in terms of basic education, the city added 5.786 million new high-quality public basic education degrees, an increase of 116.9% compared with 2012.
In 2020, Shenzhen launched the battle for one million degrees, and worked hard to solve the problems of degree construction from specific levels such as land security and system construction. According to the plan, by , Shenzhen will add 740,000 new public compulsory education degrees and 145,000 new kindergarten degrees from to 2025. In addition, Shenzhen will add 97,000 new public high school degrees. After the above-mentioned degrees are invested in, the total scale of public compulsory education in the city will be nearly doubled, which will effectively alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of degrees. Data shows that in the past three years, Shenzhen has added 5.442 million new degrees, and a total of 530 new offices and new offices. Behind the extraordinary degree of
, Shenzhen is the determination and courage to make up for its shortcomings and plan at a high level. It is also an urgent need and inevitable choice for Shenzhen to accelerate the creation of a benchmark for people's livelihood and happiness and enhance the pilot demonstration zone.
"I am a Shenzhener when I come" encourages generations of young people to work hard here. Behind this city declaration full of warmth and inclusiveness, it also carries the pressure and responsibility of education.
According to relevant national policies, migrant children can also enjoy free compulsory education subsidies, take the college entrance examination, etc. in Shenzhen. In addition, Shenzhen has high quality of basic education, and children of appropriate age do not have household registration and apply for degrees according to the unified standard of points for admission to , etc., which has led to a strong desire for migrant population to study in Shenzhen in recent years. What is commendable is that, as the largest immigrant city in the country, has provided 55% of compulsory education degrees and 38% of public compulsory education degrees to children with non-Shenzhen household registrations. The proportion of is the highest in first-tier cities, which has effectively guaranteed the enrollment needs of people of appropriate age.
"The child can study in Shenzhen and can also attend branches run by famous schools in Shenzhen, which allows us migrant workers to feel the warmth of this city." Wu Yue said.This is due to Shenzhen’s courage and efforts to promote the construction of degree, promote the high-quality and balanced development of education, and ensure the study needs of children of non-Shenzhen households.
"Study to learn" and "go to good school" to face the expectations of parents and students for a more balanced and better education. Shenzhen continues to work hard and works hard for a long time.
Shenzhen not only adheres to a high starting point and high standards to build every new school, but also adheres to the principle of "running one school and improving one school". At the same time, by promoting group-based school management, the radiation and leading role of famous schools can be played, so that high-quality educational resources can be "motivated".
At present, 28 primary and secondary education groups have been built in the city, of which the coverage rate of municipal high-quality schools to various districts is 100% . By 2025, the city will establish 80 basic education groups, covering every public primary and secondary school in the city. We also actively explored the exchange and rotation of principals and teachers. In the past three years, more than 9,500 principals and teachers were exchanged in the city, promoting the level of teaching balance among compulsory education schools.
In order to promote the high-quality development of high schools, Shenzhen not only introduced , , , and domestic famous schools such as the Affiliated High School of Beijing Normal University to cooperate in running schools, but also implemented classified independent enrollment for the first time in 2020. In addition, the "Zero One College" and "Shenzhen Innovation and Entrepreneurship College" were established to explore the establishment of a "first-class university + first-class middle school + first-class enterprise" training model for top innovative talents. As the first national demonstration zone for the implementation of new curriculum and new textbooks for ordinary high schools in the Ministry of Education, and is also the only demonstration zone in Guangdong. Shenzhen has built 10 demonstration schools and 28 subject bases, and the promotion work of has been highly recognized by the Ministry of Education.
In terms of preschool education, Shenzhen has established a "famous kindergarten (principal)+" preschool education group development model to achieve full coverage of school-based governance. It was the first to issue the "Regulations on Preschool Education in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone" to strengthen the legal guarantee for the high-quality and universal development of preschool education. In terms of private education, optimizes the scale layout and promotes standardized and high-quality and distinctive development. Over the past ten years, Shenzhen has spent more than 22 billion yuan on the development of private primary and secondary schools.
High-level teachers are an important support for the high-quality development of education.
Shenzhen comprehensively strengthens the construction of teacher ethics and style. At the same time, it opens up channels for non-normal college graduates to enter public primary and secondary schools to become teachers, and achieve diversification of teacher sources; flexibly introduces all kinds of famous teachers through green channels such as direct recruitment and selection; comprehensively implements the reform of the principal's rank system, takes the lead in decentralizing the teacher's professional title evaluation power to the school, implements classified training plans and improvement projects for teachers at different growth stages, and strives to forge a high-level teacher team with "ideal beliefs, moral sentiments, solid knowledge, and benevolence".
Currently, the overall teacher team in Shenzhen is characterized by younger, high education, high professional title, and wide sources.
Pursuing education is seeking development, and focusing on education is grasping the future.
Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government issued the "Opinions on Promoting the High-Quality Development of Education" proposed that Shenzhen should focus on cultivating socialist builders and successors with comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor, take the lead in the reform of the education system, vigorously promote the high-quality development of education, achieve good education for children and excellent education, and create modern education that matches the status of the city, first-class in China, and advanced in the world, give full play to the basic, pioneering and overall role of education, and provide strong support for Shenzhen to move towards building a pilot demonstration zone for socialism with Chinese characteristics and strive to create a city example of a socialist modern power.
