Zhu Chaohua, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Education, answered reporters’ questions at the press conference and said that in recent years, the Guangdong education system has focused on promoting educational equity and improving quality, focusing on the concerns of the people. To meet the needs and expectations, we will continue to improve the policy guarantee system, continue to expand the coverage of high-quality educational resources, strive to meet the people's good expectations from "studying" to "studying well", and strive to promote the high-quality development of basic education.

A reporter at the scene asked: "Entertainment and good education" are the unanimous aspirations of the people of Guangdong. What specific measures and achievements has the education system taken in recent years to expand the supply of high-quality educational resources and promote educational equity?

Zhu Chaohua responded that Guangdong has basically achieved unified standards for the construction of urban and rural compulsory education schools in counties, unified staffing standards, unified benchmark quotas of public funds per student, and unified standards for basic school equipment configuration. All compulsory education in urban and rural areas across the province have been unified. School students (including private schools) are exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees, and textbooks are provided free of charge, achieving full coverage of the " two exemptions and one supplementary " policy.

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the province added 2.234 million public places for compulsory education and 623 new public primary and secondary schools. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the province plans to add 3.75 million public compulsory education degrees and strive to ensure sufficient supply of degrees. And efforts are made in the following aspects:

focuses on solving the problem of "rural weakness". The provincial government has invested 2.2 billion yuan and the local government has invested 3.4 billion yuan in the construction of rural boarding schools. A total of 1,837 rural boarding schools have been renovated. It has been built to meet the standards, adding 398,042 boarding places and reducing the number of teaching points by 570. At the same time, we will continue to promote the application and promotion of "three classrooms" and support the improvement of rural education and teaching quality through group school running, sending classes to the countryside, and counterpart assistance.

Protect the equal rights of schooling for special groups, improve the enrollment policy for migrant children based on residence permit, insist on public schools (including government purchased services) to mainly arrange for migrant children to attend school, simplify the enrollment process and certification requirements, and ensure Eligible migrant children can get as much income as they want. In 2021, the proportion of migrant children enrolled in public schools (including places purchased by the government from private schools) in the province reached 87.27%. In recent years, the province's nine-year compulsory education consolidation rate has remained above 95%.

In 2021, the province will select and cultivate 71 provincial-level high-quality education groups. Actively promote localities to apply for the establishment of national compulsory education high-quality and balanced leading counties.
