Chapter 278 Two people who want money
As for now, the old programmatic documents are in vain, and the new programmatic documents have not yet been released, and the education industry is in a state of disorderly development.
Since the enactment of the Compulsory Education Law, a management system based on districts, counties and townships in compulsory education has been gradually established in China. However, due to the serious shortage of government education funds, a pattern of diversified funding for compulsory education has emerged. Especially after 1990, the phenomenon of school selection in cities began to appear. Rural areas formed the basic framework for people's education, relying on farmers to pay for themselves to popularize education, and there were generally debts such as general 9 and heavy rural education debts.
The funds for compulsory education in poor rural areas are not guaranteed, and the effectiveness of general nine is rapidly expanding in numbers, while the phenomenon of dropping out of school is surging undercurrents. Cities have launched a game between the government and the school selection phenomenon of basic education. Compulsory education reveals a tendency to urbanize and elite in the framework of the key school system, and high-quality educational resources are rapidly concentrated in the advantageous classes. The urban-rural, regional and class gaps in basic education are gradually widening.
Zhang Mei also felt this topic by chance and sighed, "The government has invested too little in basic education. I am preparing to apply for some more financial appropriations with your father."
"The investment in education is very important every year. Do you think I can give you any funds?" Fan Heng was also very troubled when he heard Zhang Mei's words.
Although Panshi's economic situation is improving rapidly, and with the rapid rise of his son Fan Wubing in Panshi's territory, it has also brought quite generous taxes to Panshi. However, Panshi is no longer a small county-level city, but includes prefecture-level cities in multiple counties and districts, with a population of more than 6 million. Faced with such a large economic and political jurisdiction, Fan Heng dared not spend limited funds casually. What's more, these things are always discussed, not because his wife is the director of the Education Bureau.
"Education needs to develop, and other industries need to develop, otherwise it will affect the development balance of the entire rock. Once the development department is balanced, something will happen." Fan Hengyu said earnestly.
"Okay, okay." Fan Wubing smiled and waved his hand, "You two don't have to sing double acts there. Education is of course very important, but the development of the local economy is also very important. The key is still a matter of money. As long as you have money, these are naturally not a problem. I can do some investment and support Panshi's general 9 work. This is nothing. Just treat it as accumulating good deeds for the whole family. But if Panshi's economy cannot develop, these tasks will be in vain. The talents trained are unwilling to come back to work because of the bad local economic environment, don't you still make wedding clothes for others? On the contrary, if Panshi's economy is good and the environment is superior, a large number of talents from other places will flow in, then it will only form a virtuous cycle."
