(Reporter Xiao Fang) In the first half of this month, the 24th meeting of the 12th the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) deliberated and passed the decision on amending the Law on the Promotion of Private Education. What important impact will this new policy have on private education? Yesterday, private education Taihu Summit and Teaching Innovation Forum was held in Taihu International Conference Center, which attracted more than 800 heads of private education institutions from Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian and Jiangxi.
Dong Shengzu, director of the Legal Affairs Department of China Private Education Association and director of the Institute of Private Education of Shanghai Academy of Educational Sciences, gave a keynote speech to interpret the impact of the new policy of private education on the industry. Dong Shengzu said that the central clue of this revision is "classification". The so-called classified management is to better promote and standardize the development of private education. All kinds of private schools at all levels approved to be established or registered are divided into profit-making legal persons and non-profit legal persons according to whether they are required to obtain school income in legislation, and different regulatory measures are implemented in administration.
The New Deal clearly stipulates that for-profit private schools shall not be established during the nine-year compulsory education from primary school to junior high school. Dong Shengzu said that compulsory education is compulsory, public welfare and universal, and the state "prohibits making profits from compulsory education". After analyzing the main problems existing in private education at present, such as the definition of property rights, policy support, industry access and exit, school governance, system convergence, etc., Dong Shengzu suggested that private education investment should think twice before you act, thoroughly study and understand the essence of laws, regulations and administrative rules, thoroughly understand the spirit, conform to the general trend, weigh the pros and cons, and make rational decisions; It is necessary to define the goal of running a school and further adjust the development strategy of the school in view of the changes in the external environment; It is necessary to further improve the school charter and establish and improve the corporate governance structure.
It is understood that this summit forum is hosted by Suzhou Private Education Association, and this year is the first. The theme of the summit is to learn and understand the promotion law of private education, improve the management ability of private education institutions, innovate teaching models and promote the development of private education. The summit also arranged 24 sub-forums, covering private school management, market enrollment, teaching and research, family education and many other aspects.
In recent years, private education in Suzhou has developed rapidly. According to statistics, in just 20 15, Suzhou added 29 private schools and kindergartens. At present, there are nearly 900 private schools, kindergartens and non-academic education institutions at all levels in the city, with 270 thousand students in the park and 370 thousand trained by training institutions every year. Zhang Kewei, director of the Private Education and Social Education Department of Suzhou Education Bureau, said that the revision of the Private Education Promotion Law has brought new opportunities for the development of private education. After the relevant detailed rules and supporting documents are issued, Suzhou will strengthen classified guidance and improve measures to ensure the smooth transition of private education at all levels. "The real realization is expected to be 1 in September next year."
