However, in recent years, another voice has appeared on the Internet. More and more parents have found that although their children do not have to pay tuition fees to go to school, many other fees have been exposed, and they still have to pay a lot of money to the school every se

A parent from Jiangsu posted a message saying: "The nine-year compulsory education in is free, but the fees are also varied for . First-grade children have to pay more than 1,000 yuan per person, school uniform fee is 800 yuan, class fee is 100 yuan, water fee is 20 yuan, and teaching aid fees are 120 yuan, which is not a small amount.

The parent’s doubts have also aroused heated discussions among the parents. Many parents expressed their deep understanding that the cost of children going to school is really too high.

In fact, these expenses can be roughly divided into the following situations.

First: Lunch, lunch break and after-school delay fees

Nowadays, people are under great pressure in life, and some parents cannot pick up and drop off their children on time. In order to ensure their children's personal safety, many schools have lunch, lunch break and after-school delay services .

This was originally a good thing to help most parents solve problems, but some schools require all students to participate for their own considerations.

This unreasonable force caused great trouble to families in that do not need these services. After all, some families in have full-time pick-up and drop-offs and take care of their children.

If the child is forced to participate in school lunch and delayed service, means that parents must bear this unnecessary expense. is undoubtedly a burden for families with meager income, and will inevitably cause parents to complain about .

Second: Purchase extracurricular books and teaching aids

In the past, children only needed textbooks issued by the school, which was basically enough, but the current textbooks are far from that cannot meet the teachers' requirements for children's learning.

School teachers will often post exercises and test papers that require printing, or directly suggest parents to purchase various extracurricular tutoring books.

Some are synchronous exercises that are matched with the textbooks, and some are upgraded or enhanced teaching materials.

In addition to teaching aids for these subjects, many schools also require parents to purchase a large number of extracurricular reading books .

Many parents reported that bought a lot of books, but children actually used less. If they didn’t buy it for their children, they were afraid that the teacher would have opinions. These books cost dozens of dollars a casual book.

has been counted by parents before. It costs 500 or 600 yuan to help their children purchase teaching materials and print various documents sent by the teacher every semester. There are many things in in this considerable expense , actually not reasonable , , but for the sake of the children, parents dare not violate it and can only execute it.

Third: After-school club activities offered by the school

Instead of calling it an after-school club activities, it is better to say that it is an on-campus interest class offered by the school .

Some schools cooperate with off-campus institutions to turn various types of training courses such as Taekwondo, dance, art, basketball, Go, etc. into paid club classes after school, and require teachers to guide students to sign up.

Some teachers even hint students that they must participate in one of for their own performance. children listen to the teacher more, and parents dare not refuse. Interest classes like

are often not cheap. One class may cost dozens or even hundreds of yuan. Parents also have to buy additional supplies or clothing needed for class. If you study one of them casually, the cost for one semester is not less than 1,000 yuan.

The starting point of compulsory education is very good, helping everyone to waive the most necessary tuition fees and ensure that every child can go to school. But unexpectedly, parents have to go to other projects launched by the school. bear economic pressure far exceeding tuition fees .

These extracurricular services themselves have no problems. If all adopts a voluntary approach according to regulations, it is still very popular. There are more parents in who really need these services.

Why have parents complained more and more about paying fees in recent years? In fact, it is caused by the school's one-size-fits-all and forcing all students to participate.

hopes that the relevant departments can listen to the voices of parents, increase efforts to rectify these violations, and give children a healthy and good educational environment.
