China Education News Network News (reporter Hao Wenting) Since the launch of the "double reduction" work, Inner Mongolia has adhered to the combination of dredging and blocking, and comprehensively promoted after-school services while concentrating on the special governance of off-campus training institutions, as of now, the schools in the compulsory education stage of the whole district have achieved full coverage of after-school service schools, and students voluntarily participate in after-school services account for 95.63%. Students of the Fifth Primary School in Kangbashi District, Ordos City, participate in after-school service activities. It is reported that Inner Mongolia has made special arrangements for the comprehensive development of after-school services, promoted the implementation of the "5 + 2" model of after-school services in various places, and effectively reduced the burden of family education expenditure such as parents' pick-up problems and small dinner tables and off-campus training. In accordance with the deployment of the autonomous region, all schools in all localities have actively introduced the specific implementation plan for "one school, one case" after-school services, and have now achieved full coverage of after-school service schools. In order to ensure the high-quality development of after-school services, the Department of Education of the Autonomous Region, together with the Development and Reform Commission, the Department of Finance, the Department of Human Resources and Social Security, and the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, has jointly formulated a policy to guarantee the funding of after-school services, and has also made clear provisions on the policy of school service charges and collection of fees in a timely manner, so as to provide funding policy guarantees for schools in all localities to comprehensively carry out after-school services. At present, 66 flag counties (cities, districts) in the region have established funding guarantee mechanisms. The autonomous region will also introduce financial subsidy standards for after-school services, which have been approved by the autonomous regional government and will be issued in the near future.
