1, which points out the fundamental direction of balanced development of compulsory education.
In the last century, due to the differences of economic and cultural levels in different places, the compulsory education stage formed a big development gap between regions, between urban and rural areas and even between schools. With the development of economy, this gap is widening.
The new Compulsory Education Law brings the balanced development of compulsory education into the legal track, and takes the concept of balanced education as the fundamental guiding ideology of the new Compulsory Education Law. It can be said that the milestone significance of the new Compulsory Education Law is that it has embarked on the road of balanced development from the past.
2. It is clear that compulsory education bears the important mission of implementing quality education.
In the past, we carried out compulsory education, mainly to solve the problems of children's reading and learning, not to mention quality education. The new Compulsory Education Law stands at a new historical starting point, putting compulsory education into the track of implementing quality education and taking the implementation of quality education as a new historical mission of compulsory education.
At the same time, the new Compulsory Education Law focuses on cultivating students' independent thinking ability, practical ability and innovative ability, and puts forward a series of measures to implement quality education.
3. Return to the essence of free compulsory education.
Universal education, compulsory education and free education are the essential characteristics of compulsory education. Free steps can be implemented step by step according to the national conditions, but the characteristics of free education must be adhered to. Public welfare is the characteristic of the whole education, and compulsory education should be more thorough, not only universal compulsory education, but also free.
The new Compulsory Education Law has taken another big step in free education, adding the content of no tuition on the basis of 1986. The central government exempts rural compulsory education from miscellaneous fees for two years; In urban areas, further investigation and study are needed to make plans and speed up the process.
4. Further improve the management system and strengthen provincial overall planning.
A major breakthrough of the new Compulsory Education Law is that on the basis of the county-based management system, the overall planning and responsibility of provincial governments have been further increased, and the transformation from "civilian-run assistance" to "compulsory education government-run" has been practiced. It turns out that it is difficult to take responsibility at the township level, so the overall responsibility is placed at the county level;
Basically, the county level is unable to bear the financial burden, and the responsibility of the provincial level must be increased for the development of the cause. Provincial overall planning is very important for the balanced development of education, strengthening the guarantee of rural education funds and strengthening the support for poor areas, which is also a highlight of the new compulsory education law.
5. The funding guarantee mechanism for compulsory education has been established.
Once again, the "three growth" of compulsory education funds was clarified; Establish a fund sharing mechanism for rural compulsory education, and share it according to projects and proportions; Compulsory education budget is listed separately; Standardize the special transfer payment of compulsory education; Set up special funds for compulsory education. Through these channels, a relatively perfect guarantee mechanism for compulsory education funds has been established.
