This book explores quality education in China from a retrospective policy perspective. It approaches the topic of quality education from multiple dimensions, such as the historical development of quality education policy, the quality education policy model, the assessment of quality education policy, the resource allocation of quality education policy, and quality education and personnel cultivation in China. This book highlights that the all-round implementation of quality education allows basic education to return to its original nature, and advocates transferring basic education from 'exam-oriented education' to 'quality education' in China.
