With 6 trillion yuan in education funds, why are parents spending more and more money, and where is the money spent?
Over the years, many parents have clearly felt that more and more money has been invested in their children's education, especially in our schools, which has overwhelmed many parents. Some people have questioned: why do students spend more in the compulsory education stage?
A recent news has made parents even more confused, the state has invested so much money in education, where is the money spent?
Recently, the Ministry of Education, the National Bureau of Statistics, and the Ministry of Finance released the implementation of national education funding in 2022. According to the announcement, the total investment in education in 2022 will be 6,132.914 billion yuan, exceeding 6 trillion yuan for the first time, an increase of 5.97% over the previous year. It has to be said that the mainland's investment in education is still huge, but parents are very confused, where is the money spent, and why are parents spending more and more money?

In fact, the most expensive items in education are just these items:
First: investment in campus construction and teaching equipment.
Campus construction must be the largest investment in education, including not only primary and secondary schools, but also colleges and universities. Looking at various places, many new schools have been built over the years, and these expenses should be quite a lot. In addition, the investment in various teaching equipment is also a huge amount, including multimedia equipment in the classroom, computer printers equipped in the office, etc., in each school, basically after a few years will be updated, calculated, the cost is also very large.
In addition to these, campus maintenance is also a large expense, taking our school as an example, we will carry out major repairs almost every few years, including painting walls, campus roads, playgrounds, etc., which are all earmarked.
Second: teacher training, including continuing education, national training and various famous teacher training.
In order to improve the quality of teachers and further improve the quality of teaching, the state has invested a lot in the training of teachers in recent years.
For example, all primary and secondary school teachers have to participate in continuing education every year, each person needs a few hundred yuan, and so many teachers in the country are also a lot of investment. There are also national training, various famous teacher training, class teacher training, new textbook training, etc., almost every semester, and there are many teachers who participate.
Over the years, all localities have focused on cultivating their own famous teachers and expert teams, and there are more and more famous teachers on the evaluation, but in fact, these famous teachers are trained, as long as they participate in a few trainings, they will naturally become famous teachers, and they are generally trained in various universities, and the cost is definitely a lot of money.
Third, the annual investment in scientific research projects, especially in universities, should be a large amount.
Our education is also very focused on subject research, starting from kindergarten teachers, the Ministry of Education stipulates that there must be a subject in order to evaluate the title, so we apply for countless topics every year. In elementary and junior high schools, there are not many people who can apply for project funding, but universities are different, and basically every project will have a large amount of project funding.
There are so many universities in the country, and there are so many scientific research projects passed every year, so you can imagine how much money is spent on the project every year, which should also be one of the more educational funds.
In addition to the above three, there is actually a lot of money spent on teachers and students.
Teachers, the main thing is salary and benefits, although the current salary of teachers is not high, but there are too many teachers in the country, all counted together, it is also a lot of money. As for students, the state not only exempts some textbook fees and tuition and miscellaneous fees, but also provides a lot of financial assistance to all kinds of poor students, almost every school and class, which is also a large amount of money.
Write at the end:
For most parents and teachers, the increase in education funding may not be obvious, because teachers' salaries have not increased much, and students' fees have not decreased. But we have to admit that the learning environment of students is indeed much better now, the classrooms are basically equipped with air conditioning and multimedia teaching equipment, the campus construction is also very beautiful, and all kinds of sports equipment are also available, all of which shows that our education is undergoing earth-shaking changes, all of which is due to more and more investment in education.
