It is understood that in 20 16, the Sichuan provincial government issued the "Implementation Opinions on Further Improving the Funding Guarantee Mechanism for Compulsory Education in Urban and Rural Areas" and decided to unify the "three exemptions and one subsidy" policy for compulsory education in urban and rural areas, namely, exempting students from tuition and miscellaneous fees in compulsory education, providing textbooks and exercise books free of charge, and giving living allowances to boarders with financial difficulties. Among them, the policy of providing free textbooks to students in urban and rural compulsory education has been implemented since the spring semester of 20 17, and students in private compulsory education schools enjoy the same standards simultaneously.

According to the national requirements, Sichuan has gradually implemented the policy of "two exemptions and one subsidy" in rural compulsory education since 2006, and has provided free textbooks to rural compulsory education students since 2008.

20 13 Sichuan provincial government decided to extend the policy of free textbooks from rural compulsory education to urban compulsory education students, and the required funds were shared by provincial, municipal and county governments. 20 14 Sichuan provincial government decided to exempt students' homework fees in urban and rural compulsory education, and extended the "two exemptions and one subsidy" to "three exemptions and one subsidy".

In order to ensure that "books are delivered before class, one for each person", free textbooks in Sichuan are uniformly purchased by the provincial government. All the funds required for national courses are borne by the central government, and local courses are borne by provincial finance. The central government arranges more than 800 million yuan each year for Sichuan to purchase free textbooks for national courses; The annual budget of Sichuan Province is 1.2 1 100 million yuan, which is used to purchase free textbooks for local courses in Sichuan. At present, the free textbooks for the fall semester of 20 17 have been shipped to schools all over the country to ensure the delivery of books before class.

In order to save financial funds, cultivate students' love for teaching materials, save resources, develop good study habits, and strengthen students' sense of responsibility and environmental awareness, according to the requirements of the Ministry of Education, Sichuan has carried out research on science, music, art (or art), information technology, music, art (or art) and physical education and health in primary schools.

In order to promote this work smoothly, Sichuan has appropriately improved the paper specifications of recycled textbooks to fully ensure that textbooks meet the quality requirements of recycling. From 20 18, Sichuan will gradually carry out the recycling of free teaching materials for local courses.
