The Outline Plan for the National Medium-and Long-Term Education Reform and Development（2010-2020） （hereinafter referred to as “the Plan”） has been implemented in three stages：faithful implementation required by the plan，flexible adjustment due to changed goals and continuous action guided by the framework document in education with higher-level and more advanced instructions. In the process，its guiding role in education reform and development decreases in turn，but there is no doubt that the Plan has promoted the rapid development of education in the past 10 years. Most of the quantitative indicators set before have been exceeded ahead of schedule，and compared with OECD countries，various development indicators have been significantly increased. It is noteworthy that the proportion of fiscal expenditures on education to GDP has reached and remains above 4%. In terms of structural reform，the Plan has advanced the reform in six aspects，including the personnel training system，examination and enrollment system，modern schooling system，school-running system，management system and the opening-up of education. Some achievements have been made to varying degrees，but none of the goals set have been fully achieved. The process of implementation has seen problems such as more prominent education inequity in pre-school education，increased academic pressure on students and teachers and overexpansion of administrative power. Therefore，it is necessary to further optimize equity，improve evaluation，and restrict administrative power by law.
