New educational reform draft to be classified management of private education

The draft of the "New Education reform", which is the focus of attention, is expected to be unveiled this weekend.　　State Council News Office February 26 on its official website announced on the February 28, 2010 morning, scheduled to hold a press conference, introduced the "National medium and long-term education reform and Development Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Planning outline") The draft of the public to solicit opinions on the relevant situation. The conference will be attended by the Ministry of Education, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance, Science and technology, human resources and other Ministries of the Ministry of Social Security.　　These ministries are the constituent units of the Working Group set up for the drafting of this plan.　　A year of drafting the education reform plan will try to solve China's current shortage of educational resources and unfair distribution. According to a person close to the planning outline of the drafting, the release of the release, cohesion of the various parties to the education problem can reach the consensus, but also touched a lot of education areas of hot and difficult issues. For example, to carry out classified management of private education and to solve the problem of "school choice" in compulsory education with the flow mechanism of excellent teachers, "I think there are many breakthroughs." "Civil schools are divided into public welfare, profit-making two kinds of solutions to the shortage of educational resources in China, private school is placed high expectations."　　According to the above-mentioned people who are close to the planning outline, a bright spot of the draft plan is to adopt a new mechanism of "classified management" for private education in order to resolve the policy obstacles faced by the latter in its development.　　It is reported that in the drafting process of the "Planning outline", the prevailing opinion holds that it is necessary to make a clear classification on the nature of the privately-run education as soon as possible, supplemented by different means of supervision. In particular, the existing private education should be divided into two categories according to the different nature of the financing: one is non-profit of Commonweal, the other is private and profit-making.　　The way to run a school in an enterprise is to be regulated according to the rules of the enterprise, to be taxed as usual, and to be dealt with by the company law. If the school, according to the institutions, should be through the law to regulate the status of its public undertakings, and thus enjoy the State provided by the financial, The management of private education has always been the focus in the drafting of the planning outline. As of 2007, there were about 110,000 private schools in the country, and 27 million students were enrolled in the school.　　But for such a huge amount of educational resources, the state's regulatory system has always been vague.　　The current "Private education promotion law" not only stipulates that private schools are "non-profit", but also allows private school investors "to obtain a reasonable return from the running balance". The contradictions between "non-profit" and "reasonable returns" have created a chaotic regulatory rule. The profit suspicion of private schools makes it difficult for the state to give the teachers of private schools equal treatment with the public school teachers. Private schools also struggle to enjoy the same land and tax support policies as public schools. "This restricts the access of more private capital to China's education sector."　　Professor Wu Hua, director of the Private Education Research center of Zhejiang University. "Therefore, through the formulation of the planning outline, the private schools are classified, and according to the nature of the classification of differentManagement, can effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of private investors, at present, especially to encourage for-profit schools, to solve the problem of insufficient supply of education and education vitality.　　"said the person familiar with the matter. However, there is also the view that such a more thorough reform package also needs to take into account the affordability of private school practitioners and school students in the reform.　　Therefore, it was suggested that the strategy of "stock" and "increment" should be adopted, that is, the existing private schools should adopt the old regulation policy and wait for it, and the newly held private schools should be classified and supervised according to the principle of classification management. According to our correspondent, ultimately, the drafters of the planning program may be inclined to compromise the above opinion--one that defines the broad principles of "classified management" of privately-run education, and does not implement it directly throughout the country, but emphasizes "pushing the pilot" to avoid a "one-size-fits-all" shock.　　[Page] Teacher flow system to solve the "school choice" disease this plan outline, also will solve the problem of the uneven distribution of quality education resources and urban school choice "as the focus." The problem of school choice exists almost in the compulsory education of all cities in China. For example, the compulsory school in Beijing has abolished the distinction between "key schools" and "non-key schools" in accordance with the education law, but the traditional "elite schools" still exist because of the history and the current policy inclination.　　This has led parents of all ages in Beijing to find ways to transfer their children to schools in the Haidian District, where the total number of school-age children is lost in seven other urban districts. "Some schools are under the banner of ' Building a school ' to facilitate the provision of" schools "for the children of the most powerful sectors, thereby crowding out the opportunity for the children of ordinary citizens to receive quality education.　　"said the headmaster of a middle school in Beijing who declined to be named.　　According to media statistics, the problem of school choice is ranked in the top three of China's education problem, and the social people's education resources distribution is not satisfied with the rate of 64%.　　In the process of drafting the plan outline, there are also disputes on how to solve the school choice problem. The disputing party thinks that the problem of "school choice" in the compulsory education stage is contrary to the idea of educational fairness, and proposes to promote the mechanism of teachers ' mobility, first of all, to implement the teachers ' flow in the district and the urban districts.　　Through the flow of teachers, the district has formed a monopoly of junior high schools to split. The teacher mobility system has been tried in Shenyang before.　　After several years of operation, the basic solution of the local "school choice" problem, the relevant experts suggested that decision-making level in the country to promote its experience. But the other side of the controversy that the "school choice" problem is rooted in the shortage of quality education resources and uneven allocation. As long as this imbalance exists, it is almost impossible to solve the problem of "school choice".　　It is therefore recommended that the existing quality education resources be retained and provided to the demand side at market prices. Instead of letting limited quality education resources disappear in the ' flow ', it is better to adopt a market-adjusted approach, so that those who want to receive quality education and have the ability to payPurse, "says one opposition person.　　At the same time, he stressed that for these "key schools", the state should not allocate financial allocations, the savings of some of the education funds, can be more used to improve the level of education in remote and impoverished areas. According to our correspondent, in the forthcoming "Planning outline" text, the former opinion may prevail, that is, to determine the principle of equalization of compulsory education, and to mention the movement of quality education resources.　　However, specific mobility initiatives, particularly the problem of proportionality, are decentralized to local locations based on the actual situation. It is learnt that after the publication of the draft plan outline, a one-month social consultation will be conducted, followed by the drafting of the Working Group to revise the relevant social feedback. In addition, the national provinces and cities will subsequently develop their own "planning outline", the national version of the "plan" content to be implemented.
