A parent in Hunan posted an angry reprimand, saying that who treated compulsory education as a leek and cut it over and over again. He gave three examples to illustrate his dissatisfaction. The first example is that the school forbids the child to drink the milk he brings from home, and can only buy the school's ** milk. The second example is the after-school service fee, which is $100 per semester. The third example is the social practice activities organized by the school, which cost as much as six or seven hundred yuan a week. These examples show that the current issue of compulsory education fees has aroused strong dissatisfaction and doubts among parents.
However, this is far from the only pain point for parents. In recent years, the issue of compulsory education fees has been attracting much attention. Nine-year compulsory education is a basic education system in our country, the purpose of which is to guarantee the right of school-age children to receive education and to improve the overall quality of the whole population. According to this system, compulsory education should be free of charge. However, in fact, as time goes by, more and more compulsory education fees are charged, making more and more parents feel that reading has become a huge burden.
A netizen from Chongqing shared the details of the children's expenses for a semester: after-school service fee of 810 yuan, living expenses of 800 yuan, class fee of 500 yuan, research fee of 420 yuan, insurance fee of 100 yuan, a total of 2,630 yuan, and this does not include other expenses such as teaching aids, school uniforms, etc. For the average family, this is a considerable expense for a family with two children. Although compulsory education should be free, in practice tuition and fees are only part of it, and the combination of other costs has led to an increased financial burden on families.
In addition to the increased financial burden, parents are also facing a continuous increase in the school's various fee items. Some schools have even begun to charge students for basic rights such as taking breaks in the classroom, and under the guise of "voluntary" and "must", parents have to accept these unreasonable fees. The superposition of these various expenses not only increases the financial burden of families, but also makes parents feel the helplessness of becoming more and more difficult to study.
In response to the chaos of compulsory education fees, we need to work together with schools, schools and parents to take a series of measures to solve this problem.
First of all, we should increase investment in education and ensure the relevant funding for compulsory education. Education is the future of the country, and it should be regarded as a priority area for development, and investment in education should be increased to ensure the free nature of compulsory education. Only by increasing the input of funds can we fundamentally solve the problem of compulsory education fees.
Secondly, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of schools and strictly prohibit schools from charging fees in various names. ** The department should increase its efforts in supervising school fees, and severely punish schools that have arbitrary fees to stop their violations. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen supervision over the departments in charge of education, ensure that they perform their duties in accordance with the law, and provide guarantees for parents to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
In addition, parents should also actively protect their own rights and interests, be vigilant against the school's new fees, and report obviously unreasonable fees to the relevant departments. Parents' voices should be heard, and their legitimate rights and interests should not be violated. Only with the joint efforts of parents can we promote the change of the current situation of compulsory education fees.
After reading this article, I have a deeper understanding of the issue of compulsory education fees in my country. As a basic education system, the free nature of compulsory education should be fully guaranteed. However, in reality, the increase in school fees has brought a great financial burden to parents, which is contrary to the original intention of compulsory education.
In response to this question, I believe that we should first increase investment in education to ensure that the basic funding needs of compulsory education are met. Secondly, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of school fees and crack down on all kinds of arbitrary fees. At the same time, parents should also take the initiative to protect their own rights and interests and report problematic school fees. Only by working together, schools and parents can we promote the solution of the problem of compulsory education fees and ensure that children can receive education fairly.
Finally, I hope that this issue will attract more people's attention and attention. Education is the future of the country, and we cannot allow the issue of fees to become a stumbling block to the development of education. Only by allowing every child to enjoy a fair and high-quality education can we improve the quality of the whole people and achieve social progress. It is our common responsibility and goal to increase investment in education, reduce the financial burden on families, and return compulsory education to its free nature. We should unite and work together on this issue to create a better learning environment and future for children.
