First, the textbook fee
Textbooks are the basis of learning. Although the country has carried out the work of distributing textbooks free of charge, most schools can hardly meet the needs of students. Some schools are short of textbooks, which leads students to buy textbooks from outside. Moreover, school textbooks are not only textbooks, but also reference books, workbooks and so on, which is also a big expense.
Second, miscellaneous expenses
In addition to textbook fees, some schools will also charge some miscellaneous fees, such as tuition and fees, experiment fees, examination fees and so on. In most cases, these fees cannot be exempted, and they are often set by the school itself, which is difficult to regulate.
Three. living expenses
Tuition is optional, but living expenses are necessary. Living expenses include accommodation, transportation, clothing and so on. Due to the acceleration of urbanization, many parents choose to rent houses in cities in order to give their children a better education, which increases the cost of living. Moreover, in cities, transportation is also a big expense.
Fourth, the distribution of educational resources is uneven.
Although the state has taken a series of measures to ensure the fair distribution of educational resources as much as possible, in fact, the distribution of educational resources is still uneven. The allocation of educational resources is obviously different between urban and rural areas.
Schools in big cities can provide better teachers, more advanced equipment and richer educational resources, but schools in rural areas are usually in poor conditions, which will also lead some students to go to schools in cities and increase their living expenses.
The significance of compulsory education:
Compulsory education is a universal, compulsory and free school education for all school-age children and adolescents according to law. It is the basis of improving national quality and the starting point of realizing social equity. Receiving compulsory education is the basic right of citizens, implementing compulsory education is an important duty of the government, and supporting compulsory education is the common task of the whole society.
Compulsory education has always been the top priority of China's educational reform and development. At the beginning of this century, China achieved the goal of popularizing nine-year compulsory education. The first is to solve the academic problems of school-age children stipulated by law.
After compulsory education is fully popularized and free, the state clearly regards the balanced development of compulsory education as the top priority of compulsory education, and strives to achieve the goal of making all school-age children and adolescents eager to learn. Compulsory education is a basic public service for all school-age children and adolescents, and it is the legal responsibility of the government to provide basically balanced compulsory education.
