The Ministry of Education, the National Bureau of Statistics, and the Ministry of Finance recently released a statistical announcement on the implementation of national education funds for 2022. The announcement shows that the total investment in national education funds in 2022 was 6132.914 billion yuan, exceeding 6 trillion yuan for the first time, an increase of 5.97% compared to the previous year. The national fiscal education budget was 4847.291 billion yuan, an increase of 5.75% compared to the previous year, accounting for 4.01% of the gross domestic product. The national general public budget for education is 3925.696 billion yuan, an increase of 4.79% compared to the previous year, accounting for 15.07% of the general public budget expenditure. Education is the foundation of a century long plan. Vigorously developing national education requires investment in education funds as an important guarantee. The proportion of national fiscal education expenditure to GDP has remained above 4% for eleven consecutive years, and education has become the largest expenditure in the general public budget. This fully demonstrates that the Party and the government have prioritized the development of education and are fully committed to providing education that satisfies the people. Good steel needs to be used on the cutting edge, and education funds need to be spent in critical areas. Educational equity is a fundamental national education policy, and "accelerating the high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education and urban-rural integration" is actively being implemented. From the statistical announcement, the growth rate of education investment in the central and western regions is remarkable, especially in Xinjiang, Xizang, Guizhou and other places. Vigorously optimize the allocation of regional educational resources, further narrow the gap between urban and rural areas and schools, and enable children to receive higher quality and more equitable education. It is also worth noting that among all school stages, the growth rate of preschool education funds is the largest - the average general public budget education funds for kindergarten students in China increased by 7.29%, far exceeding the average growth rate of 2.44%. This reflects the country's strong promotion of high-quality and inclusive preschool education, and many places have included preschool education in key livelihood projects, continuously increasing high-quality preschool education resources, and striving to meet the needs of the public to "attend good kindergartens". Various regions are also improving and perfecting the student aid policy system covering all levels and types of education, implementing the nutrition improvement plan for rural compulsory education students, ensuring that no child is left out of school due to family economic difficulties, and truly enhancing the sense of gain of the people. Strengthen supervision and management, ensure strict and efficient execution of education funds. We will improve the implementation system of education funds, focus on promoting the construction of a performance evaluation system that conforms to the laws of education, strengthen work responsibilities, and strictly prevent unreasonable expenses. In addition, while strengthening internal supervision, we will also gather the joint efforts of various sectors to regulate education funds and continuously improve the comprehensive efficiency of the use of education funds. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly states that we must adhere to the development of education centered on the people and accelerate the construction of a high-quality education system. At the investment level, ensuring that the proportion of national fiscal education expenditure to GDP is generally not less than 4%, ensuring that the general public budget education expenditure of the government only increases and does not decrease year by year, and ensuring that the general public budget education expenditure based on the average number of students on campus only increases and does not decrease year by year, is a strategic deployment made by the Party Central Committee and the State Council to prioritize the development of the education cause. Each region should further enhance its political stance, adhere to educating talents for the Party and the country, steadily increase investment in education funds, and ensure that the "two only increase and not decrease" are implemented
