The State Council issued the Notice on Further Improving the Funding Guarantee Mechanism of Urban and Rural Compulsory Education (Guo Fa [2015] No.67, hereinafter referred to as the Notice), and decided to further improve the funding guarantee mechanism of urban and rural compulsory education from 20 16. In this regard, the relevant officials of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Education said in an interview that the nine-year free compulsory education has been fully popularized, and the "two exemptions and one subsidy" policy will be implemented for all students in urban and rural compulsory education in 20 17.
It is understood that "two exemptions and one subsidy" means "exempting tuition and miscellaneous fees, providing textbooks free of charge, and subsidizing living expenses for boarders with financial difficulties". Previously, textbooks were only provided free of charge to students from low-income families in the urban compulsory education stage, and after adjustment, they were unified for all urban and rural compulsory education students. The original policy of "two exemptions and one subsidy" for rural students, tuition and miscellaneous fees for urban students, textbooks for students from low-income families, and subsidies for living expenses for boarding students with financial difficulties in families will be adjusted to "two exemptions and one subsidy" for all students in urban and rural compulsory education. Unify the policy of "two exemptions and one subsidy" for urban and rural compulsory education.
Except private schools! !
