Jiangxi Education Department: Will Completely Stop Approving The New Reform School.

The Jiangxi Provincial Education Department recently revealed that from 2007 onwards, students in rural compulsory education in Jiangxi will be exempted from all tuition fees, and the new reform schools will be stopped completely.

The Jiangxi Provincial Education Department stipulates that no school can collect unified service fees and charges for students.

If schools provide services to students, they must adhere to the principle of voluntariness and strictly prohibit compulsory or disguised compulsory means to provide services and fees.

The province also said that it would further lower the price of primary and secondary school textbooks in compulsory education, take effective measures to limit the highest price and maximum printing of textbooks, strictly regulate the printing standards, effectively reduce the price of textbooks, and lighten the financial burden on students. Moreover, teaching materials, including various forms of exercises, test questions, newspapers and magazines, can not be compulsively unified to subscribe and purchase, so as to curb excessive and excessive teaching and supplementary materials.

The office of Jiangxi Provincial Education Department will make a comprehensive clean-up and standardization of the charging items and standards for secondary vocational schools, primary and secondary schools and universities. The local and schools with serious fees and charges will adopt special penalties, such as reducing special funds, reducing enrollment plans, controlling the declaration of academic degrees, controlling education for declaring education, and abolish advanced or exemplary titles.
