The standardization rate of compulsory education schools in the district is 100 percent, and it leads the city in implementing 12-year free education in public schools.

Nansha has become the outstanding education area in Guangdong province, as well as the advanced educational modernization area in the province.

It also won the 4th National Education Reform and Innovation Excellence Award, as well as cooperated with the Ministry of Education's Institute of Curriculum and Textbook Research to jointly build the "Basic Education Curriculum Reform Experimental Zone," which became the first experimental zone in Guangdong province.

The construction of the "Basic Education Curriculum Reform Experimental Zone" was carried out in Nansha, while 15 schools, including Tung Chung Middle School, were identified as curriculum reform experimental schools.

The proportion of the children of migrant workers who have moved with them into compulsory education in public schools exceeds 85 percent.

Nansha has been working hard to develop its special education programs. It has set up an expert committee for referral and placement of children that require special education, as well as a special education guidance center. The vast majority of children who have severe, moderate, and mild disabilities in the district have received compulsory education by attending classes or having teachers sent to their homes, with an enrollment rate of 96.15 percent.
