The "Notice" clearly stipulates that students in urban and rural compulsory education will be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees, textbooks will be provided free of charge, and the living expenses of boarders with financial difficulties will be subsidized (collectively referred to as "two exemptions and one subsidy"). It should be pointed out that students in private schools enjoy the policy of "two exemptions and one subsidy" equally at the same time. This means that both urban and rural students, whether studying in public schools or private schools, can be exempted from tuition and fees and textbook fees.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Municipal Education Bureau, the standard of tuition and fees exemption is implemented according to the benchmark quota of public funds per student determined by the central government (600 yuan per student in ordinary primary schools and 800 yuan per student in ordinary junior high schools), and the types and catalogues of free textbooks are consistent with those of public schools. Although the authority for examination and approval of private schools (excluding public primary and secondary schools) has been liberalized, private schools should consciously accept the guidance and management of the education and price departments at or above the county level, effectively regulate the charging behavior, and put an end to arbitrary charges by private schools.
It is strictly forbidden for schools to collect commercial insurance.
The Notice stipulates that primary and secondary schools are not allowed to charge fees for independent projects, raise standard fees, expand the scope of fees, force fees against the voluntary principle of students, and are not allowed to use illegal bills to charge fees. It is strictly forbidden to include matters within the scope of education and teaching activities and teaching management into service charges and agency charges. It is strictly forbidden to set up charging items without authorization, charge without approval or break through the approved charging standards.
According to the outstanding problems reflected by the public in recent years, the Notice clearly stipulates that all primary and secondary schools are not allowed to include the fees such as lecture notes, test papers, electronic reading, computer use, library inquiry and electronic reading, lunch break management services, after-school custody, bicycle care, heating, cooling, drinking water, campus safety, etc. into service charges and agency charges.
At the same time, student safety insurance is voluntarily insured by students or parents to insurance institutions, and it is strictly forbidden for schools at all levels to charge commercial insurance premiums.
The school did not publicize the details of the charges, and parents could refuse to pay.
It should be reminded that schools should set up fixed public signs (columns) in eye-catching positions according to regulations, and actively accept the supervision of students, parents and society. Students have the right to refuse to pay the undisclosed fees, and the collected fees should be returned to the students.
In view of the start of school in spring, our city will carry out special inspection actions. If parents encounter arbitrary charges, or are forced to buy commercial insurance, or illegally subscribe to supplementary teaching materials, they can call the report hotline at any time: price report hotline, Municipal Price Bureau,12358; Municipal Education Bureau, 22663717; Policy of Municipal Development and Reform Commission
