1, the meaning of all boarding schools

In 20001year, the decision of the State Council on the reform and development of basic education advocated the establishment of boarding schools for the first time, and the Action Plan for Revitalizing Education for 2003 -2007 published in 2004 emphasized "strengthening the construction of junior high schools and primary schools in western rural areas with the implementation of the' rural boarding school construction project' as a breakthrough".

According to the figures released by the education department, from 2004 to 2007, the central government invested a total of 654.38+0 billion yuan to build 765/kloc-0 schools, benefiting about 2 million students. In addition, private schools are mainly boarding.

2. The origin of all boarding schools.

For a long time, it is an indisputable reality that the resources of rural compulsory education in China are scattered, the level of teachers is uneven, and the teaching quality is difficult to improve. Figures show that before 2004, there were about 90,000 schools in the western region, accounting for more than 80% of the national schools. In some high mountains, plateaus, alpine pastoral areas, semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral areas and desert areas, about 80% of junior high school students and about 50% of primary school students need boarding.

The original intention of the education department to carry out the "boarding project" construction is to "optimize the allocation of rural educational resources and promote the balanced development of urban and rural education". The implementation of the "Boarding Project" is very necessary for expanding the scale of compulsory education in counties where the "two basics" are crucial, ensuring the normal enrollment of school-age children in the western region and completing compulsory education.

Both supporters and skeptics will admit the fact that the boarding school construction project has effectively improved the running conditions of a number of rural schools and played a positive role in expanding the scale of compulsory education in the central and western regions and ensuring that school-age children in the central and western regions enter school and complete compulsory education.
