Dec.27 - China will spend 218 billion yuan (27.25 billion U.S. dollars)
to help improve the country's education in the rural areas in the next
five years, according to a recent executive meeting of the State Council.
The fund will be jointly provided by both the central and local
governments, according to the meeting, which was presided over by Chinese
Premier Wen Jiabao.
In the next two years, China will also exempt all the education tuitions
and fees for the students in compulsory education period and provide free
textbooks and subsidies for the students from needy families, it said.
At the same time, a mechanism will be established to ensure the wages of
the teachers with middle or elementary schools in the rural areas.
"There remain some outstanding problems in rural compulsory education and
related mechanisms must be streamlined to that end," said Chinese State
Councilor Chen Zhili at the meeting.
She said China will further reform its mechanism that serves to safeguard
the funds for rural education purpose, which should be taken atop the
list of China's education tasks.
"The use of the fund should be carefully managed so that it could be
spent where it should be," she said.
