How often do state grants go out?
Generally, it is distributed in two times, the first time in 1 1 month every year and the second time in April of the following year. Zhao Lu, director of the Department of Education, Science and Culture of the Ministry of Finance, gave a concrete explanation by taking the work in 2008 as an example. At the beginning of each year, all localities should submit to the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Education an application report on the number of students in secondary vocational schools in the region, including the number of rural students, the number of students with financial difficulties in urban families, and the source of students, including how many people to be funded, how much money they need, whether they are from other places, whether they are in the middle, west or east, etc. After the audit by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Education, the funding places and funds of the provinces will be distributed to all regions, mainly the provincial finance and education departments, before the end of May each year. Before the end of August, the finance and education departments at all levels below the provincial level shall be responsible for reaching the subordinate secondary vocational schools under the budget issued by the superior and the budget to be shared by the finance at the corresponding level and the national grant allocation quota.
