The tuition standard of public high schools in Changsha is mainly divided into two types: municipal government guidance price and school independent pricing.
Municipal government guidance price:
Every year, the Municipal Education Bureau will announce the municipal-level guidance price of the year according to factors such as market price and consumption level, and enforce it. At present, the municipal guidance price is 2900 yuan/student per year.
School independent pricing:
Schools have the right to set prices according to their own educational investment and actual conditions. Many famous public high schools, such as Changjun Middle School and Changsha No.1 Middle School, have tuition fees above the municipal guidance price. On average, the independent pricing of schools generally ranges from 3,800 yuan to 4,500 yuan per student.
Cost:
In addition to tuition fees, Changsha public high schools also charge some miscellaneous fees and heating and cooling fees. Specifically divided into the following categories
1. Tuition
It has been introduced above. The municipal guidance price is 2900 yuan/student, and the school's independent pricing is generally 3800 yuan -4500 yuan/student.
2. Accommodation fee
Because many students need to live on campus from Monday to Friday, the school has opened accommodation service, and the accommodation fee is calculated on a monthly basis, generally ranging from 200 yuan to 400 yuan. The specific standard depends on the school.
3. Meal expenses
Most public high schools in Changsha provide campus meals, generally 1-2 yuan/person/meal. However, the catering management in some schools is not strict enough, or the quality is unreliable, which requires parents to choose carefully.
4. Tuition and miscellaneous fees
Including textbooks, extracurricular books, experimental supplies, stationery supplies and so on. Different schools have different standards, but overall, tuition and fees should be controlled between 400-600 yuan.
5. Heating and cooling costs
The winter in the south is getting longer every year, especially in the cool places in the mountains, which is very uncomfortable. Therefore, many schools have opened heating and cooling equipment, but they have to pay a fee when using it. Tuition fees generally range from 400-800 yuan.
Free policy:
According to the national policy, primary and secondary schools implement nine-year compulsory education, and the government implements free education for students with financial difficulties. Specifically, Changsha's free policy covers a wide range, and students who meet the following conditions can apply:
1. Students from low-income families-the specific standards can be known from the local government, and the average monthly income of families is usually required to be less than 1000 yuan.
Students from poor families, such as divorced parents and students from one-child families, can get some government subsidies or full scholarships.
3. Special students and outstanding students-these students get more preferential treatment than other students, including research funds, overseas training funds, international exchange funds, etc.
Generally speaking, public high schools in Changsha are not expensive. Parents can choose their own schools and charging standards according to their actual situation. It is good news that the free education policy provided by the government also enables more children to obtain high-quality educational resources.
