Parents are called on to take the initiative to cooperate with the "double reduction" winter vacation under-registration class
"Reducing the excessive homework burden and off-campus training burden of students in the compulsory education stage is a major decision and deployment made by the central government and is the 'number one project' in the current field of education." Xia Zhilun said that after the release of the central "double reduction" policy, Hunan acted quickly, introduced a work plan, improved supporting policies, and deployed a one-month special rectification of off-campus training.

Winter vacation is the peak season for students' make-up training.

"It's a hard bar, a hard metric." Xia Zhilun said that in the future, Hunan will actively revitalize the existing educational asset resources, do a good job in the existing public schools to tap the potential to increase a batch, buy a batch of degrees from private schools, and increase the number of private schools to public offices, and complete the task with quality and quantity.

Curbing the "Non-farming" of Cultivated Land and Preventing the "Non-grainization" of Cultivated Land
The deliberation of the "Hunan Provincial Implementation Measures (Draft)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures") is an important agenda of the Fifth Session of the 13th Hunan Provincial People's Congress. Chen Zhongbo shouted at the "passage for department heads" that peasant friends must conscientiously study the new law, know the law and abide by the law, not arbitrarily occupy cultivated land to build houses, and use land in accordance with laws and regulations.
"Cultivated land is the lifeblood of grain production, the lifeblood of peasant friends, the rice bowl of our contemporaries, and the rice bowl of future generations. When the cultivated land is preserved, the rice bowl can be firmly served. Chen Zhongbo introduced the five characteristics of the revision of the "Measures", that is, paying special attention to emphasizing the leading role of land spatial planning, paying attention to promoting the conservation and intensive use of land resources; adhering to the strictest farmland protection system, strictly controlling the conversion of cultivated land into forest land, garden land and other agricultural land; improving the land expropriation procedures according to law, optimizing the land approval system, and serving to ensure the development of land; paying attention to protecting the reasonable land use needs of farmers and the legitimate rights and interests of farmers whose land has been expropriated, strengthening land law enforcement supervision, and increasing the punishment for land violations.
The protection of cultivated land is related to national food security and the vital and long-term interests of the vast number of farmers. Chen Zhongbo said that the state has put forward new requirements for the protection of cultivated land, and the law has new provisions on the protection of cultivated land, stressing the need to carry out various types of development, protection, and construction activities in accordance with the national land spatial plan, resolutely curb the "non-farming" of cultivated land, prevent the "non-grainization" of cultivated land, and strictly control the conversion of cultivated land into other agricultural land such as forest land and garden land.
"In the next step, we will strengthen the publicity and implementation of the "Measures", actively promote the 'field chief system' of farmland protection, compact the responsibility for farmland protection to the grass-roots level, to the village groups, to the peasant households, give full play to the role of rural collective economic organizations and peasant households, and jointly protect cultivated land." Chen Zhongbo said. (End)
