Vigorously Increase Input in Education and Develop Preschool Education
2 min readVigorously Increase Input in Education
In recent years，China has established an educational fund-raising system，whereby financial allocations are the predominant source，with funds collected through other channels as a supplement.It is stipulated that theincrease of allocations for education by the central and local governments should be higher than the increase of regular revenue，thus ensuring ayear-by-year increase of average educational appropriations for every student.
The Chinese Government pays great attention to educational development in remote and poor areas，as well as areas inhabited by national minorities.Since the 1980s，the state has appropriated school aid for the popularization of primary education，and subsidies for developing vocational education，normal education and education for national minorities.The State Education Commission and the Ministry of Finance have decided that in 1995-2000，the special funds allocated by the central government for the popularization of compulsory education，plus the supporting money provided by the local governments，should be used to implement the National Compulsory Education Proiect in Poor Areas.It is estimated that over 10 billion yuan will be put into the project.The money will be used mainly to improve conditions in primary schools and junior middle schools in poor areas.
Develop Preschool Education
Mobilizing the whole society to develop preschool education in various forms and channels and encouraging not only government institutions and enterprises but also mass organizations and individuals to open kindergartens in light of relevant regulations-this is one of the principles adopted by China in developing preschool education.
In recent years，due to the vigorous support and active participation of governments at all levels and society at large，China’s preschool education has been developing steadily.A new era has dawned in which kindergartens are run by the state，the collectives and the individuals together.In urban areas，full-time kindergarten is the dominant form of preschool education，with the boarding system and preschool classes as a supplement；in rural areas where the local economy is better-developed，central kindergartens can be found in every township and preschool classes in every village.
In backward countryside，mountain and pastoral areas，which are remote and sparsely populated，while endeavoring to create conditions for running preschool classes，people are openingchildren’s activities stations，games groups，mobile groups giving children guidance，and other nonregular forms of preschool education.
