the next day.

Fang Hong updated a blog post related to education and student funds on his K3478 personal Weibo account:

[The question about the amount of student aid has been finalized. One quota will subsidize 22,000 yuan per year. If it is from freshman to graduation, the total is 88,800 yuan. If it is from the first grade of elementary school to university graduation, the total is 352,000 yuan. The official website of the Education Grant Fund has been launched, and the link to the official website is attached. For details, please visit the official website for information and consultation. 】

When this blog post was released, it quickly aroused heated discussions and was also quoted and reported by many media.

Once Fang Hong's Weibo was drained, the number of visits to the official website of the Educational Scholarship Fund surged rapidly.

The most surprising thing for everyone is undoubtedly the size of the 22,000 yuan annual student aid for each quota. I didn’t expect it to be so much, and what I didn’t expect was that no matter whether it’s a primary school, a middle school or a university, it’s all this amount.

If 22,000 yuan is not outrageous for the university application quota, then the primary school application quota is also 22,000 yuan a year. Many people are surprised that the nine-year compulsory education period does not cost much money at all.

The issue of the amount of funding quickly aroused heated discussions across the Internet.

Some people think that the upper limit of education expenditure is extremely high. Some kindergartens can spend tens of thousands a year, and some hundreds of dollars; The amount is reasonable, and a reasonable allocation of funds can help more people; some people think that the money belongs to Fang Hong, and they can arrange it however they want, as long as the money can really be implemented, it is a good thing.

Regarding the issue of the funding amount, there are various opinions and opinions in online discussions.

This was also within Fang Hong's expectations, and he did not give a detailed explanation to the outside world. At the same time, he asked Tian Jiayi to inform the institutional management personnel of the Educational Grant Fund not to explain this problem.

Otherwise, when the time comes, those parents will take the bursary of the signature amount of the older son and distribute part of it to the younger son who did not win the lottery, and then throw the blame to the education bursary fund, saying that this is the intention of the bursary institution.

So, don't ask, it's my money and I'm happy to ask!

The money will be given to whoever wins the lottery. As for how the actual distribution of the parents is arranged, that is beyond the control of the educational institution.

In short, Fang Hong's intention for setting this quota, whether someone from the outside world can see it or not, anyway, the Education and Student Fund will not explain or comment.

At around 2:00 this afternoon, the education grant fund organization held a news media conference and disclosed the organization’s budget for this year. The organization received a total of 2.76 billion yuan, of which 200 million yuan will be used for various operating expenses of the organization itself, and the rest 2.56 billion yuan will go into the student aid fund pool, so there are about 116,300 student aid places this year.

At the same time, the Secretary-General of the Education Grant Fund further disclosed that starting from now on, applications from impoverished students from all over the country will be accepted, with a three-month reporting time window.

After the submitted application is verified and passed, it will enter the candidate list pool and then draw lots.

If the application window period ends and the total number of approved places is less than or equal to 116,300 places, no lottery is required and the names are confirmed directly. If the number is greater than 116,300 places, lots will be drawn.

There is no doubt that there will be more than 116,300 places.

After all, this matter has been fermented for so long and has a great influence. Now it is the Internet age and it is a nationwide declaration. It is not surprising even if the number of declarations exceeds one million.

But it must be made clear at the press conference.

And if the application list far exceeds 116,300 real places, the final quota will be determined by lottery, and the headquarters of the Educational Scholarship Fund will publicly broadcast the lottery, and disclose the number of winning signatures to the official website for query, so that no one will expire, because The parties only need to check to know whether they have won the lottery or not.

The specific lottery rule is that the declared quotas of the same province are placed in a basket to be drawn from, and the 116,300 actually issued quotas are distributed in equal proportions to the lottery baskets of each province.

For example, if the total number of actually issued places is 116,300, and the number of places verified and approved nationwide is 1.163 million, then the distribution will be made in a ratio of 1 out of 10. The number of declared places in each province is allocated according to the ratio of the actual quota. For example, if the total declared quota from province A is 1,000, then the actual quota allocated to this province is 100; the total declared quota from province B is 500, then the actual quota allocated to the province is 50.

The public basically does not have much ambiguity about this solution, and it is indeed the most fair solution relatively speaking.

The lottery is not given to local branches, but is carried out by the headquarters of the organization, which largely solves the tricky problem of local implementation, and the lottery is produced publicly and live.

Then the specific lottery rules are not to put all the quotas in one basket for selection, but to take the province as a unit and draw lots together according to the declared quotas of each province's location. The quotas are allocated in equal proportions, which ensures that whether the quotas declared by different provinces are 1,000 or 500, the probability of winning the lottery is the same, and it will not lead to the occurrence of all 500 declared quotas in a certain region.

The public agrees with this very much. In the case of limited resources, this is indeed the relatively fairest distribution plan.

The rest depends on your luck.

After the press conference, poor students from all over the country, anyone who knew about this matter, began to prepare materials for declaration, especially at the school-age stage of high school and university, because access to Internet information has a comparative advantage.

Therefore, this group is the fastest, and they basically go directly to the official website online declaration channel.

On the side of the education grant fund agency, the staff of the branch offices in various identities across the country are also actively communicating and negotiating with the local schools, so that the schools can pass on the news and provide places for declaration.

Some places and some schools are quite active and eager;

In some places, some students see whether they have any benefits or no right to make decisions. They cannot interfere with the bursary, nor can they interfere with the quota. If they are not interested, they will directly find reasons to reject it;

In some places, some schools want the education grant fund to provide the school with funding as a condition for cooperation, and if they do not provide it, they will refuse to cooperate.

According to the news, Fang Hong's educational public welfare undertaking can be said to have won him wide acclaim and awards.

In fact, there are still many enthusiastic people in this society, and they sincerely want to help some people within the scope of their ability, but what these enthusiastic people with a little wealth can do is to donate money directly, because it is impossible to spare time and energy to do specific things. , only through third-party public welfare organizations.

The problem is that the current third-party public welfare organizations are hard to describe, and many enthusiastic people in the society are full of distrust of them. After donating money, they end up being wronged.

Those who really need help will not get help at all, so let's put away this kindness.

And these people saw Fang Hong's education and student fund, especially the transparent operating mechanism of this institution, so many enthusiastic people left private messages on Fang Hong's Weibo, hoping that he could open up a channel to share The money is donated to the education grant fund and entrusted to help more needy groups.
