Chapter 1217 Further Reform
On the eve of the two sessions.
Just as the delegations of the two sessions of various provinces and cities arrived in Beijing one after another, a meeting was held in Beijing.
This meeting was held during the past few days to discuss countermeasures based on the polls.
At the beginning of the meeting, the heads of the ministries and commissions under the jurisdiction of the various topics involved answered one after another, that is, some countermeasures.
"In terms of food safety, it is necessary to formulate the "Agricultural Product Safety Law" and the "Food Safety Law". It is necessary to have laws to follow, to abide by them, and to punish violations. At the same time, the responsibilities of governments at all levels and government departments such as agriculture, health, drug supervision, quality inspection, industry and commerce in food safety supervision should be clear to avoid mutual shirking and wrangling!" Liu Tao believes that this matter must be resolved in terms of food safety.
After all, with the development of society to this point, the issue of food safety has become imminent.
The groups under Panshan Group are engaged in trade in grain, beef, mutton, seafood, etc., and food safety issues are very strict.
But other companies and other units in China are not necessarily the same.
Problems such as excessive use of fertilizers and excessive use of pesticides are emerging in an endless stream. The quality control of the market cannot keep up. It is not uncommon for the departments of agriculture, health, drug supervision, quality inspection, industry and commerce to shirk responsibility and wrangling with each other, and the punishment is not severe.
In addition, the legal aspect has made this aspect exist from the mid-to-late 1990s to the present, which has been almost ten years.
Before this, this problem was not prominent because few people paid attention to it.
But after entering the millennium, more people paid attention to it, and the problem began to become prominent.
In terms of education, Liu Tao proposed to carry out twelve years of compulsory education.
Now, nine years of compulsory education seems to be insufficient. Junior high school graduates are only 16 years old. What can 16 years old do?
They are still minors!
Liu Tao proposed that high-level vocational diversion, those with better academic performance go to high school, and those with poor academic performance go to vocational and technical colleges. High schools and vocational and technical colleges all adopt a three-year system.
Although it is a high-level vocational diversion, both are allowed to take the college entrance examination.
It’s just that vocational and technical colleges will start to learn more about some professions, such as chefs, car repair, etc.
As for the merger of rural primary schools, this is imperative. In the past, there was a primary school in one or two villages, but now it is not possible, there are not so many students.
It is also imperative to improve the treatment of rural primary school teachers and let more normal school students go to rural areas, so as to improve rural primary education and urban secondary education.
As for key schools and key classes, it cannot be changed even if they are cancelled, because the foundation of the school is there. It is not to say that they really do not exist after cancellation. That is to cover up the truth and not lack of reality.
In addition, in terms of education, various miscellaneous fees are cancelled and schools are prohibited from charging fees under various names.
Long before, the state cancelled the tuition fees for primary and secondary schools, but schools still charge various miscellaneous fees under various names. As a result, the educational burden of farmers has not been reduced, but increased.
Liu Tao is to promote the state to form a special inspection team to inspect various provinces and cities and deal with each case found.
You know, the state's annual allocation of education funds is far higher than military expenditures, but problems still emerge in an endless stream.
One of the problems is education.
Panshan Group implements free education, including free kindergarten, primary school, middle school and high school education, free food and accommodation, and not much money a year.
So Liu Tao has a good idea about education.
As for housing prices, Liu Tao has no opinion. It is not high at this time, and it is not low at this time.
But the country has a low-rent housing policy, and low-rent housing is built every year to provide a bottom line, but everyone wants to buy better commercial housing, so there is no way.
What the country can do is to build some low-rent housing to curb the rapid growth of housing prices, provide a bottom line, and then control the quality of commercial housing, while also ensuring the interests of both parties.
In terms of medical reform, Liu Tao proposed to formally implement the centralized procurement system and strengthen the control of hospitals. At present, China's medical system is still dominated by public hospitals and supplemented by private hospitals. There are not many private hospitals.
Of course, there is another issue in this meeting, which is the issue of central and local fiscal allocation.
On March 5, the third session of the 10th National People's Congress opened, accompanied by the military band playing the national anthem, which also means that the time of the two sessions has officially arrived.
The eyes of the whole world are focused on the two sessions of China.
More than 200 overseas media gathered at the two sessions of China, presenting the two sessions of China to the whole world.
At this time, every move of China affects the whole world, and no one can ignore it.
And the two sessions can show whether China's focus is on the inside or outside, what aspects of the internal focus are, what aspects of China's external focus are, and whether China's foreign policy will change.
China's policy affects all aspects.
Then there is also the fact that the whole world is paying attention to whether China's military expenditure will increase again?
Of course, some countries are studying the system of the two sessions of China.
Sure enough, this time the two sessions of China did not disappoint.
When seeing the hot topics of the two sessions of China and the government's press conference, everyone can clearly see that China emphasizes more on internal political management, and its external policies still maintain continuity, still emphasizing that peace and development are the development of the times, and still emphasizing win-win cooperation.
As for the military expenditure that everyone is concerned about, the military expenditure has further increased, and the increase is mainly used to improve the treatment of soldiers.
The national security defense system appeared in the military and national government reports for the first time.
When Liu Tao was interviewed and asked when the 002B aircraft carrier would be put into service, he smiled and said that it would be soon, and everyone should wait patiently.
With the end of the closing ceremony of the two sessions, it also means that the two sessions are over. What China will do in the next year is basically laid out.
There are many wealth codes contained in it, and it often brews changes in the entire industry.
For example, the Ministry of Education announced to the public that it will further strengthen rural education work, increase investment in rural education, and propose twelve years of compulsory education for the first time.
This news will have a subversive change on the entire education industry. Whether it is a school or a tutoring institution, it will be deeply affected.
Then the Ministry of Health announced that it will formally unify the centralized procurement. The centralized procurement pilot work has been going on for many years. Now it is officially transformed from a pilot work to a formal one and promoted nationwide.
The pricing power of drugs and medical devices will be returned to the state from the local level to reduce the price of drugs.
Of course, this will also involve further reforms in medical institutions. (End of this chapter)
