The “school district system” is one of the practical modes realizing the innovation of the balanced development system and mechanism for compulsory education， and a system concerning the district-based management of primary and middle schools.“The Decision of the Central Committee of the CPC on Several Issues Regarding Comprehensive Deepening of Reform” adopted at the Third Plenary Session of the Eighteenth National Congress of the Partyspecifies that “we will implement the near school admission without examination for compulsory education and implement the school district system and the nine-year counterparty recruitment on a trial basis. We will carry out the academic level examination and comprehensive quality assessment at the middle school stage.” In 2014， the Ministry of Education also pointed out in the “Implementation Opinions on Further Promoting NeighboringSchool Admission without Examination from Primary School to Junior School” that “we will try the district-based school mode， combine junior schools and primary schools for coordinated management upon the principle of relatively short geographical distance and rough balance of schooling level. We will advocate the collaboration， resource allocation and nine-year uniform connection among different schools”. In this context， Beijing has strengthened the work to explore the reform of the school district system to solve the phenomenon of “school selection” and serious disparity in resource distribution. Xicheng District has taken the initiative and released the Implementation Opinions on Propelling Comprehensive Reform in Major Areas of Compulsory Education. To better promote the educational reform， we will survey the reform of the school district system in Shichahai Sub-district of Xicheng District， review its practices， and identify its problems. On this basis， we will provide some preliminary suggestions for future development.
