Wang Jiayi said that since 20 14, the Gansu provincial government has taken preschool education as the basic project of precise poverty alleviation. On the one hand, rural children should not lose at the starting line and receive good enlightenment education; On the other hand, I hope to liberate the rural labor force through preschool education, so that parents can engage in productive labor with peace of mind and increase their income.

In 20 14, the preschool education project in Gansu province has achieved full coverage of township kindergartens in poverty-stricken areas of the province. 20 15 kindergarten construction extends to administrative villages. In 58 poverty-stricken counties and administrative villages with more than 2,000 people, relying on the existing primary school buildings, kindergartens will be fully covered through renovation and expansion to meet the needs of rural children to receive preschool education. At present, the township kindergartens in the province have achieved full coverage.
20 16 years will further extend downward. /kloc-administrative villages with more than 0/500 people, relying on primary schools to rebuild and expand kindergartens, give priority to the protection of old revolutionary areas and Tibetan areas. After 20 17 years, it will basically cover all kindergartens in administrative villages in poverty-stricken areas of the province to meet the needs of rural children to receive preschool education.
Wang Jiayi told reporters that in kindergarten construction, Gansu Province pays special attention to teachers in rural kindergartens, not only by recruiting local administrators, but also through the province's preferential treatment plan, and at the same time sends a group of surplus teachers transferred from rural primary schools to kindergartens. He said that rural preschool education in Gansu province adheres to the principle of "four advantages", that is, it is conducive to the use of surplus school buildings and teachers; Conducive to the participation of social forces; Conducive to children entering the park nearby; It is conducive to hierarchical management and ensures the scientific education and safety of kindergartens in the process of town, street, community and village participating in kindergarten management.
The country takes the lead in realizing free preschool education.
"From 2065438 to March 2006, according to the registration situation, all 700,000 school-age children in the province receive preschool education free of charge, whether in urban or rural areas." Wang Jiayi said.
How to solve the cost?
Wang Jiayi said that the pre-school education funds were all paid by the government, and the plan was passed at the Gansu Provincial People's Congress on 20 16, and the funds have been kept. After children report for duty in March, according to the number of children registered in the park, the financial subsidy is 1000 yuan per person per year, regardless of public parks and private parks.
Considering the mobility of preschool children, if preschool children are divided into poor families and non-poor families, it will have an impact on children's hearts, so we adopt an inclusive policy to make preschool education free. Wang Jiayi said that we are the first province in China to implement free preschool education.
Gansu province is in the forefront of the country, and Huining county also takes accelerating the development of preschool education as a breakthrough in poverty alleviation through education, creating a new situation in which preschool education catches up with and develops.
