Hongyuan is a pure animal husbandry county located in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In the past, herders did not have the habit of sending their children to kindergarten. No matter where they eat grass, their children will go back. After the implementation of the 15 free education policy in Sichuan, school-age children in ethnic areas can go to high school for free from kindergarten. With the free kindergarten, Deco can graze and work with confidence. She found that the children became more and more lively after attending kindergarten, and they also liked to communicate with her, which became a happy fruit for the whole family. ?
Starting from the spring semester of 20 16, on the basis of implementing free compulsory education and secondary vocational education, Sichuan has completely exempted 5/kloc-0 public kindergartens and public ordinary high schools in ethnic autonomous counties (cities) for three years, and provided textbooks for all ordinary high school students free of charge. That is to say, in Sichuan ethnic areas, school-age children can enjoy free education from kindergarten to high school 15 years. For private kindergartens and private ordinary high schools approved by the education department, equal subsidies shall be given according to the financial subsidy standards for public kindergartens and public ordinary high schools. If the fee standard is higher than that of public educational institutions, parents only need to pay a higher part of the fee. In that year, Sichuan invested 540 million yuan, benefiting nearly 1, 5 1, 000 students. Zhu Shihong, director of the Education Department of Sichuan Province, said: "If you go to ethnic areas in Sichuan now, the most popular school must be." ?
Restricted by many factors, Sichuan ethnic areas have a wide range of poverty, a large number of poor people and a deep degree of poverty. Among the 5/kloc-0 ethnic autonomous counties (cities, districts), 45 are "three states and three districts" deep poverty-stricken counties supported by the state, which is one of the main battlefields for the whole country and the whole province to get rid of poverty. The poor in the county are poor, and many poor families are unable to support their children to complete all their studies. We should base ourselves on the fundamentals, solve the shortcomings of education in the long run, and help the poor from the height of changing and cultivating a generation. ?
Rilimu Xiaoying, a sophomore in Zhaojue Ethnic Middle School, is the direct beneficiary of 15 free education. One of her younger brothers is in kindergarten and the other is in middle school. Before school started every year, parents always worried about tuition fees and often borrowed money from relatives and friends. With the money borrowed by her parents to go to school, Rilimu Xiaoying was so heavy that she even thought about giving up going to school. ?
15 after the implementation of the free education policy, the economic pressure brought by the three brothers and sisters of Rilimu Xiaoying to go to school has been much less. Rilimu Xiaoying has also strengthened her determination to enter the university. She said that she had learned Mandarin, Yi language and English well. Being admitted to a university can further improve your skills and make greater contributions when you come back to build your hometown. ?
Le Legourd, president of Zhaojue Ethnic Middle School, said that 15 free education not only guaranteed the educational opportunities of children from economically disadvantaged families and ordinary high school students, but also created an equal campus environment for all, enhanced the self-confidence of children from economically disadvantaged families and strengthened their confidence in their dreams. ?
Nowadays, most schools in Sichuan minority areas are operating at full capacity. For ethnic minorities, "I want to study" has already become "I want to study". Long ercong, the headmaster of Puge County Middle School, told the reporter that the number of senior one students in Puge County Middle School has increased from more than 700 in the previous two years to more than 1 100 this year, and it is expected that the number of senior one students will exceed 1500 next year. ?
Comprehensive analysis and comparison of various indicators of education development in recent years show that 20 16 is the fastest year for education development in ethnic autonomous areas in Sichuan province. Compared with 20 15, 12 counties passed the national assessment of balanced development of compulsory education; The gross enrollment rate, primary enrollment rate, junior high school enrollment rate and senior high school enrollment rate increased to 75%, 99.54%, 99.64% and 70.0% respectively, which were 5.02, 0.28, 3.74 and 16.78 percentage points higher than those in 2065 and 438+05 respectively, and the number of students increased to/kloc-0. ?
Long ercong said that the implementation of 15 free education has broken the old concept that parents in ethnic areas are indifferent to their children's studies, and their willingness to send their children to high schools and universities is high. This requires the government, schools and teachers to actively adapt to the new requirements and new situation for the masses to enjoy quality education, work together to improve the quality of education and teaching, enhance parents' recognition of schools around them, ensure that children and adolescents receive relatively high-quality education nearby, and lay a solid foundation for blocking intergenerational transmission of poverty.
