Miễn học phí cấp 2: Đừng để dân lại mừng hụt

-----

Education authorities (nhà chức trách giáo dục) in Shenzhen want to make primary (tiểu học) and secondary education (trung học cơ sở) free for all by 2025, extending national policy that calls for the first nine years of a child’s education to be fully funded.

...If Shenzhen follows through with this ambitious goal, it will become by far the largest city in China to offer 12 years of free education.

In 2020, Shenzhen led the Greater Bay Area — an official geographic designation that also includes Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macao, among other nearby cities — with a local GDP of 2.76 trillion yuan ($422 billion). However, the city’s policymakers suggested that local education standards (tiêu chuẩn) are still below the public’s expectations (kỳ vọng của công chúng).

...In both 2019 and 2020, Shenzhen reportedly invested over 10 billion yuan to subsidize preschool and high school education. At present, more than 80% of all preschool-aged children in the city are enrolled at either low-cost public kindergartens or private kindergartens that are subject to government-guided pricing.

Seats at public high schools are increasing, too. It is estimated that the city will provide over 216,500 seats for public high schoolers by 2025, nearly double the current figure.
