The achievements in the Ninth Five-Year Plan were further consolidated and improved.
We have continuously increased investment in the infrastructure of rural compulsory education schools. Through the implementation of "two exemptions and one subsidy" and "one fee system", migrant children are exempted from borrowing fees and curriculum reform is carried out, which effectively improves the enrollment rate and completion rate of compulsory education. According to preliminary statistics, the enrollment rate of primary school-age population in the city reached 98.8%, and the enrollment rate of ordinary junior high school students reached 97%. In order to meet the people's demand for quality education, we invested more than RMB 10 million to establish Xiantao primary school with high standards and specifications, and implemented small class teaching in experimental junior high school, experimental No.2 primary school and Oriental primary school, which achieved good results.
The layout adjustment of rural primary and secondary schools has achieved remarkable results.

In the process of canceling secondary normal schools in China, the Municipal Education Bureau seized the opportunity, actively sought the strong support of the Provincial Education Department and the municipal party committee and government, invested a lot of money, and moved to build a large-scale Xiantao Vocational and Technical College.
Education reform has been steadily advanced.
First, deepen education and personnel reform. According to the spirit of the national and provincial documents, the education groups of the whole city 19 towns (offices) were streamlined, and the redundant personnel of the original education group were diverted to enrich the teaching front line. The city's education system actively promotes the appointment system for all employees. For newly assigned graduates, the implementation of "qualification access, competition for posts, full employment and contract management" has changed the long-term tenure of teachers and the ownership of personnel units. Earnestly implement the principal certificate and teacher credit registration system, and constantly increase the training of principals and teachers with new courses, new knowledge and new technologies as the main content. The structure of school teachers has undergone great changes. The city selected 28 1 municipal academic leaders, and was rated as 1 13 provincial backbone teachers. By the end of 2005, the teachers in primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools in the city had reached the standard rate of 98.5%, 85.8% and 84.3% respectively.

The management system is improving day by day.
First, the "county-oriented" rural compulsory education management system has been basically established. The salaries of rural primary and secondary school teachers in the city are all paid by the municipal finance, and education and personnel are managed by the education administrative department. The second is to actively explore the management model. Rural schools implement the hierarchical management mode of "central school-complete school-primary school", and establish four urban-rural cooperative bodies of curriculum reform experiments centered on experimental primary school and Xiantao No.2 Middle School respectively, which improves the teaching management system of rural primary and secondary schools, improves the running level of rural schools and promotes the balanced development of education. The third is to establish and improve the "people-oriented" management system. In recent years, the Municipal Education Bureau has successively issued such routine management documents as "Strengthening teachers' classroom teaching, preparing lessons collectively, standardizing classroom teaching behavior, and handling teaching accidents", and the routine management of schools has been significantly strengthened. The fourth is to strictly control arbitrary charges in primary and secondary schools. Seriously investigate and deal with violations of laws and regulations, such as compulsory breakfast and insurance, which are strongly reflected by the masses, effectively curbing arbitrary charges for education.

The Municipal Education Bureau insists on carrying out the activities of helping the poor in send warm all the year round, and the leaders of the bureau set an example by donating money and materials for the poor students in poverty-stricken areas, which set off the climax of helping the students in the education system.
Deepen the reform of basic education curriculum and classroom teaching mode, adhere to the priority of moral education, comprehensively promote quality education, and improve the quality and level of running schools. In 2002, the first grade of primary school began to implement curriculum reform, and in 2003, the first grade of junior high school began to implement curriculum reform. Primary school 1-4, junior high school grades enter the experimental stage of curriculum reform. In order to promote the implementation of curriculum reform, our city has vigorously carried out discussion activities to change educational concepts, used the experience of Hengshui and Yang Si Middle Schools for reference, carried out in-depth reform of classroom teaching mode, and set up a large number of advanced models of curriculum reform and classroom teaching mode reform in Xiantao No.2 Middle School, Xiantao No.4 Middle School, Xie Chang Middle School and Experimental Primary School. All kinds of schools at all levels in the city adhere to the principle of putting people first, putting moral education in an important position, giving full play to the role of schools and moral education courses as the main channel, main position and main classroom, and closely combining health education with civilized and polite education, green education and activity-based students' autonomous education, which greatly improves students' sentiment and promotes their all-round development.
Resolve educational contradictions, solve hot and difficult problems that the masses care about, and run a satisfactory education for the people. Dissolve education debt. During the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, the Municipal Education Bureau strictly managed the school's financial affairs, increased revenue and reduced expenditure, and paid off more than 40 million yuan in debt for the ninth five-year plan and school development in a planned way, accounting for 1/4 of the total education debt. Solve the problem of private education at one time.
