"Two exemptions and one subsidy" subsidy standard

The policy of two exemptions and one subsidy not only exempts rural children from tuition fees, book fees and tuition and miscellaneous fees.

Students' accommodation and living allowances are also provided to rural families with financial difficulties. For rural children, this means that they can get a lot of money every year, not to mention what they can do, but for rural children who can bear hardships from childhood, this may be equivalent to half a year's food expenses.

The average subsidy standard for living expenses of boarding students from poor families is: primary school 1000 yuan/year, junior high school 1250 yuan/year.
