On February 25th, 65438, exciting news came from Jishou City. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, Jishou will realize municipal financial subsidies year by year and implement 12 years of free compulsory education. Compared with the current nine-year compulsory education in China, Jishou City has extended the scope of compulsory education to three years in senior high school, that is, students in senior high school are free of tuition.
During the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period, Jishou City fully implemented nine-year free compulsory education in urban and rural areas, and passed the "two basics" acceptance, and the enrollment rate of primary school-age children reached 99.78%. City No.1 Middle School has become a provincial model high school, and the scale and quality of vocational education and private education in the city are at the leading level in the province. We will implement the construction of boarding schools, rural teachers' houses and qualified schools to achieve a balanced development of urban and rural education.
Extended data:
Guangdong Provincial People's Congress suggested changing compulsory education from 9 years to 12 years;
Zhuang Shunfu, a deputy to the Provincial People's Congress, and other people 13 proposed that Guangdong should implement 12 years compulsory education as soon as possible. In this regard, Luo Weiqi, director of the Education Department of Guangdong Province, said in an interview that Guangdong encourages qualified urban areas in the province to introduce specific measures suitable for local conditions according to their actual conditions, such as Zhuhai, which has been implemented at present, but it is unrealistic to implement 12 education free in the whole province.
Delegates pointed out that although our province's economic development is ahead of the whole country, there is no difference between the current years of compulsory education and the whole country, which is nine years' compulsory education, and the focus of development should be here.
At present, the voice of realizing 12 compulsory education in China is growing. Some places have really extended the compulsory education stage. Zhungeer Banner of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region began to implement 12 free education in the second half of this year, with an annual investment of more than 50 million yuan, benefiting junior and senior high school students. The situation that children in Zhungeer Banner drop out of school due to family poverty will no longer exist.
Zhuhai has also implemented 12 compulsory education in 2007, and Yantian District of Shenzhen plans to implement 12 compulsory education during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan period. These explorations are commendable. The representative pointed out that whether 12 compulsory education can be implemented depends on whether you are determined and willing to invest. As far as Guangdong's financial resources are concerned, it should be feasible to extend the three-year compulsory education in the whole province, and the education department should demonstrate this.
If it is difficult to implement it in the whole province, then some more developed cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Foshan can take the lead, and Zhuhai's practice is worth summarizing and learning from.
