关于进一步加强和规范教育收费管理的意见
党中央、国务院历来高度重视教育收费管理工作，自全国治理教育乱收费部际联席会议制度建立以来，在各有关部门、地方各级政府的共同努力下，教育收费水平保持了基本稳定，教育乱收费现象得到了有效遏制。但随着经济社会的发展，教育收费管理工作在体制机制、政策执行、监督管理等方面仍然存在一些问题，与教育改革发展的需要和人民群众的期待仍然存在一定差距。为贯彻落实《中国教育现代化2035》《国务院办公厅关于进一步调整优化结构 提高教育经费使用效益的意见》等文件精神，进一步加强和规范教育收费管理，现提出以下意见。
一、总体要求
（一）指导思想
以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，全面贯彻落实党的十九大和十九届二中、三中、四中全会精神，深入贯彻落实全国教育大会精神，始终坚持把教育事业摆在优先位置，主动适应教育、财税、价格等领域改革新要求，巩固完善以政府投入为主、多渠道筹集教育经费体制，逐步完善各级各类教育投入机制和非义务教育培养成本分担机制，建立健全教育收费政策体系、制度体系、监管体系，提升教育收费治理能力，持续巩固教育乱收费治理成果，促进教育公平而有质量的发展。
（二）基本原则
——坚持公益属性、分类管理。坚持教育的公益性，充分发挥政府对教育事业的主导作用。区分义务教育和非义务教育的不同阶段，区分非营利性和营利性民办教育的不同属性，正确处理政府与社会、受教育者之间的关系，合理分担教育培养成本。
——坚持分级审批、属地管理。教育领域行政事业性收费项目、标准实行中央和省两级审批，中央部门所属学校收费标准实行属地管理。各省、自治区、直辖市（以下简称各省）按照规定的管理权限，科学制定收费政策，加强收费项目管理，合理确定收费标准，全面落实教育收费管理主体责任。

Second, improve the education charging policy
(3) Adhere to the nine-year compulsory education system. Compulsory education is fully included in the scope of financial security, and public compulsory education schools do not charge tuition and miscellaneous fees. All localities should strictly implement the compulsory education law, consolidate and improve the funding guarantee mechanism for compulsory education in urban and rural areas, adhere to the nine-year compulsory education system, and prohibit arbitrarily expanding the implementation scope of the free education policy. The standard of exempting students from tuition and miscellaneous fees in private compulsory education schools is implemented according to the benchmark quota of public funds per student; For the part with insufficient per capita education and training cost, we should strictly implement the non-profit statutory requirements and reasonably determine the charging standard. It is strictly forbidden to collect donations linked to enrollment. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the state, schools or other social organizations that recruit students in the compulsory education stage to carry out professional training in literature, art and sports should not include tuition and fees that students are exempted from after completing the nine-year compulsory education course.

Schools (including kindergartens, the same below) charge tuition fees (conservation education fees) to the educated according to a certain proportion of the annual average cost of education and training, and charge accommodation fees to boarding students in consideration of actual costs (excluding financial allocations). Students with financial difficulties in families enjoy the policy of reduction and exemption in accordance with relevant state regulations. All provinces should reasonably determine the proportion of tuition fees (conservation education fees) of public kindergartens, ordinary high schools and secondary vocational schools to the annual average education and training costs in light of local conditions. At present, the proportion of tuition fees in public institutions of higher learning to the annual average cost of education and training should not exceed 25%, and all localities should reasonably determine it according to the level of economic and social development, training costs and people’s affordability.

For the part borne by students or their parents, service fees can be charged according to the principles of voluntariness and non-profit. If the relevant services are provided by institutions or individuals outside the school, the school may collect and pay the relevant fees.
