The subjects of Grade 9 are: Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Morality and Rule of Law (Politics), History and Physical Education, Music, Fine Arts and Information Technology.
The ninth grade is compulsory education in China, a graduating class of junior high school and an important course for junior high school students. Since the 1990s, junior high schools have cancelled graduation exams. Students can graduate as long as the final scores of all courses are above the passing line (60% of the total scores) within three years, and they have not been punished or cancelled.
However, in real life, students often drop out of school because of their own initiative, serious violation of school discipline, school rules or illegal crimes, and rarely because of other reasons.
