Today, the Ministry of Education held a series of "1 + 1" press conferences on "the decade of education". Guo Peng, director of the financial department of the Ministry of education, introduced the overall situation of the reform and development of student financial assistance in the decade. Guo Peng said that at present, China's student financial assistance has formed a Chinese characteristic student financial assistance system, which is mainly funded by the government, supplemented by school and social assistance, mainly by free assistance, supplemented by paid assistance, and mainly targeted at helping the poor and supplemented by awards. It covers 28 Central Government funded projects, and combines multiple policies of "award, assistance, loan, exemption, attendance, supplement and reduction", with an annual financial assistance of 150 million, The annual subsidy amount is more than 260 billion yuan. Over the past ten years, the total amount of student assistance in China has exceeded 2 trillion yuan. The annual subsidy amount has doubled from 132.2 billion yuan in 2012 to 266.8 billion yuan in 2021. Financial support continued to increase, forming a funding pattern in which government investment is the mainstay and school and social funds are important supplements. Guo Peng introduced that over the past decade, the Ministry of education and the Ministry of finance have established a dynamic adjustment mechanism for the funding standards in accordance with the economic and social development situation and the requirements of poverty alleviation, and gradually raised the funding standards of various school sections. At the stage of compulsory education, the standard of nutritional and dietary allowance for rural compulsory education students was raised twice, from 3 yuan to 5 yuan per student per day, and the transformation from "eating enough" to "eating well" was gradually realized. At the senior high school level, the national grant standard for ordinary senior high schools and secondary vocational schools was raised from 1500 yuan to 2000 yuan per year. In the stage of higher education, the national grant standard for doctoral students was raised by 3000 yuan; We will raise the standard of national financial aid for junior college students from 3000 yuan to 3300 yuan per year; We will increase the amount of state student loans from no more than 6000 yuan per student to 12000 yuan for junior college students and 16000 yuan for graduate students, and correspondingly raise the compensation standards for loans for Grassroots Employment and military service.

Student financial aid not only guarantees students with financial difficulties to study at ease, but also improves their living standards and enhances their physical quality. The national nutrition improvement plan covered 123800 rural compulsory education schools, benefiting 350 million students. According to the monitoring data of the China Center for Disease Control and prevention in 2021, the average height of male and female students in the areas where the nutrition improvement plan was implemented increased by 4.2cm and 4.1cm respectively compared with that in 2012, which was higher than the average growth rate of rural students nationwide; The growth retardation rate of rural students in the central and western regions was 2.5%, down 5.5 percentage points from 2012. Through the guidance of the student aid policy, the attraction of secondary vocational education, agriculture, forestry, geology, mining, oil and other difficult majors and normal majors has been significantly enhanced; Hundreds of thousands of aided normal students have joined in rural basic education, which has significantly improved the quality of rural teachers; 660000 college graduates have taken root at the grass-roots level, and the structure of grass-roots cadres and professionals has been significantly optimized; 1.43 million college students were recruited to serve the country, providing a large number of high-quality soldiers for China to achieve the goal of building a strong army.
