The "Implementation Opinions" make it clear that the overall goal of the lifelong education system in Jiangsu Province is to further improve the service platform for everyone to learn anytime and anywhere, improve the overall quality of education, safeguard the fairness and effectiveness of education, comprehensively improve the education level and comprehensive quality of urban and rural residents, and take the lead in building a strong education province.
According to the Opinions on Accelerating the Improvement of Lifelong Education System issued by Jiangsu Provincial Government, Jiangsu Province should accelerate the development of inclusive preschool education in the future. Implement the five-year action plan for preschool education, build a number of public service resources for preschool education, and achieve full coverage of inclusive kindergartens.
By 20 15, the popularization rate of three-year preschool education in Jiangsu Province will reach over 97%, and the proportion of high-quality kindergartens in Jiangsu Province will reach over 70%. Does this mean that kindergarten education is not far from compulsory education? Compulsory education should be extended to kindergarten education in the future? Gu Chunming, deputy director of the Basic Education Department of Jiangsu Education Department, said that compulsory education is not only free and inclusive, but also compulsory, that is, education must be received after a certain number of years, and it is illegal to refuse to accept it. It may be necessary to discuss whether children aged 3 to 6 need compulsory school education. "At present, it is unlikely that preschool education will be included."
At the same time, Gu Chunming, deputy director of the Basic Education Department of the Education Department of Jiangsu Province, also said that the province encourages qualified areas to carry out free preschool education for a certain number of years. In addition, Jiangsu Province will support the development of inclusive and low-cost private kindergartens in the future, and provide financial assistance to children with financial difficulties and orphans and disabled children.
