What does public cultural education mean?
Compulsory education, public health and basic medical care, public culture and other "public services" should be equalized. One is compulsory education. Starting from the national conditions, the equalization of basic public services in education can be locked in the guarantee of compulsory education, that is, popularizing and consolidating urban and rural compulsory education. As long as school-age children, whether in towns or villages, whether in the east or the central and western regions, have the right to enjoy nine-year compulsory education. Therefore, on the one hand, it is necessary to increase the proportion of fiscal education funds to GDP and ensure the investment in compulsory education; On the other hand, it is necessary to deepen the reform of the education system, improve the quality of education and provide institutional guarantee for the equalization of compulsory education. The second is public health and basic medical care. Public health and basic medical security are public welfare and should be included in the scope of equalization. Strengthen government responsibility and establish a basic medical security system covering urban and rural residents. The third is popular culture. With the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for spiritual and cultural products is growing. When providing spiritual and cultural products, we should distinguish between cultural undertakings and cultural industries. Cultural undertakings are public welfare and can be equalized, such as public libraries and rural cultural rooms, which belong to the basic cultural undertakings services that the government should provide. The cultural industry is market-oriented and mainly depends on market regulation. At present, there is a shortage and disconnection between the quantity and quality of public culture and the needs of the people. Deepen the reform of the cultural system, actively develop public cultural undertakings, and meet the spiritual and cultural needs of the people.

Equalize "public welfare basic services" such as public welfare infrastructure and ecological environmental protection. Public welfare infrastructure can be divided into two links, namely "infrastructure construction" and "implementation and operation". The government should fully invest in and strengthen the management of infrastructure links, that is, those benefits that are not for profit, but for providing public services, such as rural drinking water projects, rural roads and other rural infrastructure. Of course, it is impossible for the government to cover all infrastructure projects, and different policies can be formulated according to different situations. As for market-oriented infrastructure, such as highways, it can operate in a market-oriented way. Provide a good environment for all citizens, including atmospheric environment, water environment and sound environment. It is also the content of equalization in "public welfare basic services". The state regards environmental protection as a binding index to evaluate the performance of governments at all levels.

Equalize "public safety services" such as production safety, consumption safety, social safety and national defense safety. Safety is a major event related to people's lives, property and national interests. The government has the responsibility to provide safe public goods and services, including production safety, consumption safety and social safety. For these public goods and services, every citizen should enjoy them equally.
