The Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China
On June 20 12 18, the Ministry of Education set up a private education office to clean up various discriminatory policies.
Minister of Education Yuan Guiren answered a reporter's question.
The State Council made a special inquiry in the Great Hall of the People about the Report on the Implementation of the Outline of the National Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan (20 10-2020).
Yuan Guiren, Minister of Education, said that private education is an important part of education in China. Since the reform and opening up, especially since the promulgation of the Law on the Promotion of Private Education, private education at all levels has developed rapidly. By 20 10, there will be nearly120,000 private schools in China, accounting for 22% of the total number of schools in China. There are about 34 million students, accounting for 13. 1% of the total number of students. Among them, kindergartens account for the most, accounting for 47%, followed by institutions of higher learning, accounting for 20.9%, and the compulsory education stage is less. Private education has made important contributions to the development of China's education, mainly in three aspects: expanding educational resources, optimizing educational structure and promoting educational reform. "However, it should be noted that due to the fact that private education has not really recovered and emerged in China for a long time, our understanding of the development laws and characteristics of private education is not deep enough, the policies and regulations on private education are still not perfect, and many existing laws and regulations have not been well implemented. The idea of developing private education is to regard private education as an important growth point of education development, as an important force to promote education reform, and to support the development of private education as an important duty of government work. " Yuan Guiren said that the Ministry of Education recently set up a private education office, which enriched the power of management services, strengthened the national survey of private education, and sorted out some problems existing in the development of private education. Because the development of private education involves many departments, we are drafting opinions on further promoting the development of private education with many departments, preparing for the national conference on private education, and making new arrangements for the development of private education in the new period.
Yuan Guiren said that he mainly did the following work:
First, we should treat schools equally. For schools, it is necessary to ensure that private schools enjoy the same treatment as public schools in terms of enrollment, specialty setting, degree examination and approval, and foreign exchanges. For teachers, teachers in private schools should be promoted to enjoy the same treatment as teachers in public schools in terms of professional title evaluation and calculation years. For students, it is necessary to ensure that public school students enjoy the same rights as public school students in terms of further studies, national student loans, national scholarships, subsidies for living difficulties, and employment. The second is to give strong support. In terms of policies, it is necessary to comprehensively clean up all discriminatory policies against private schools, focusing on solving problems such as enterprise attributes and property ownership that restrict the development of private schools. In terms of funds, in the major projects of education planning and education, private education should be included in the field of vision. The tasks entrusted by the government to private schools should be purchased and the corresponding expenses should be allocated. It is necessary to set up special funds for private education and reward private schools with high quality and good social reputation. Third, standardize management, strengthen party building in private schools and improve ideological and political education in private schools. It is necessary to improve the internal governance structure of schools, protect the legitimate rights and interests of teachers and students in private schools, and standardize school-running behavior. Fourth, promoting reform, there are many problems in private schools, mainly the unclear definition and judgment of whether the school is profitable. Actively promote the pilot, form a perfect classified management system and support policies for for-profit and non-profit private schools, and promote the sustained and healthy development of private schools.
