Fang Hong updated a blog post about the education scholarship fund on his K3478 personal Weibo account:
[The issue of the amount of student aid has been finalized. One quota is 22,000 yuan per year. If it is from freshman year to graduation, the total is 88,800 yuan. If it is from first grade of elementary school to university graduation, the total is 352,000 yuan.
The official website of the Education Bursary Fund has been launched, and the official website link is attached. Details can be found on the official website for consultation.】
This blog post quickly aroused heated discussions and was quoted and reported by many media.
As soon as Fang Hong’s Weibo attracted traffic, the number of visits to the official website of the Education Bursary Fund surged rapidly.
What everyone is most surprised about is undoubtedly the size of the scholarship amount of RMB 22,000 per place per year. They did not expect it to be so much, and what is even more unexpected is that whether it is primary school, middle school or university, all of them are of this amount.
If 22,000 yuan is not too outrageous to apply for a place in a university, then 22,000 yuan is allowed for a year in a primary school. Many people are surprised that the nine-year compulsory education does not cost much at all.
The issue of the amount of funding quickly aroused heated discussion across the Internet.
Some people think that the upper limit of education expenditures is extremely high. Some kindergartens can spend tens of thousands or hundreds of yuan a year. Some people think that this arrangement is a bit too hasty and unreasonable. Funding should be determined separately at each grade level.
Only the amount is reasonable, and reasonable allocation of funds can help more people; some people think that the money belongs to Fang Hong, and he can arrange it however he wants. As long as the money can be truly put into practice, it is a good thing.
Regarding the issue of the amount of funding, there are various opinions and opinions in online discussions.
This was within Fang Hong's expectation. He did not give a detailed explanation to the outside world. At the same time, he asked Tian Jiayi to inform the institutional managers of the Education Bursary Fund not to explain this issue.
Otherwise, when the time comes, those parents will take the bursary of the eldest son’s winning number and give part of it to the younger son who did not win, and then blame the education bursary fund and say that this is the intention of the student aid 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 is arranged by parents, that is beyond the control of the student aid agency.
In short, whether someone outside the world can see Fang Hong's intention for setting this quota, or not, the Education Bursary Fund will not explain or comment.
At around 2 o'clock this afternoon, the Education Bursary Fund 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 remaining
2.56 billion yuan will go into the student aid fund pool, so there are approximately 116,300 student aid places this year.
At the same time, the Secretary-General of the Education Student Aid Fund further disclosed that from now on, applications for student aid from poor students across the country will be accepted, with a three-month application time window.
After the submitted application is verified and approved, it will be entered into the candidate list pool and then a lottery will be conducted.
If the application window ends and the total number of approved places is less than or equal to 116,300 places, there will be no need to draw lots and the name will be confirmed directly. If the number is greater than 116,300 places, a lottery will be conducted.
There is no doubt that it will definitely be more than 116,300 places.
After all, this matter has been fermenting for so long and has become very influential. Now is the Internet era and it is a nationwide application. Even if the application quota exceeds one million, it will not be surprising.
But I must make it clear at the press conference.
And if the application list far exceeds the 116,300 actual quotas, the final quota will be determined by drawing lots. The Education Bursary Fund Headquarters will publicly broadcast the lottery, and disclose the winning number to the official website for inquiry, so that no one will expire, because
The parties only need to make a query to know whether they have won the lottery.
The specific lottery rules are that the declared quotas from the same province are placed in a basket and the 116,300 actual quotas are distributed to the lottery baskets of each province in equal proportions.
For example, if the total number of actual quotas is 116,300, and the number of verified application quotas nationwide is 1.163 million, then the distribution will be based on a ratio of 1 out of 10. The number of application quotas in each province will be allocated according to this ratio.
Indicators, for example, if the total application quota from province A is 1,000, then the actual quota allocated to this province is 100; the total application quota from province B is 500, then the actual quota allocated to this province is 50
.
The public basically has no ambiguity about this plan, and it is indeed the most fair solution relatively speaking.
The lottery is not handled by local branches, but is carried out by the agency headquarters. This solves to a large extent the tricky problems in local implementation, and the lottery is broadcast live publicly.
Then the specific lottery rules are not to put all the quotas in one basket for lottery, but to draw lots according to the declared quotas of each province. The actual quota indicators allocated to the province are based on the declared quotas.
The quotas are distributed in equal proportions, which ensures that whether the quotas applied for by different provinces are 1,000 or 500, the probability of winning is the same, and it will not lead to the occurrence of all 500 applied quotas in a certain region.
The public strongly agrees with this, and given limited resources, this is indeed the most equitable distribution plan.
The rest depends on your luck.
After the press conference, poor students from all over the country, and everyone who knew about this matter, began to prepare materials for declaration, especially in high school and college, because there are comparative advantages in accessing Internet information.
Therefore, this group is the fastest, and they basically go directly to the official online declaration channel.
As for the Education Bursary Fund, staff from various branches across the country are also actively communicating and negotiating with local schools to let the schools pass on the news and provide application quotas.
In some places, some schools are quite active and eager;
In some places, some students see that there is no benefit to them, and they have no right to make decisions. They cannot interfere with scholarships, nor can they interfere with quotas. If they are not interested, they can just find reasons to reject them.
In some places, some schools want the education bursary fund to provide funding to the school as a condition for cooperation. If they do not provide funding, they will refuse to cooperate.
From the news, it can be said that Fang Hong’s educational charity has won him widespread praise and praise.
In fact, there are still many enthusiastic people in this society, and they sincerely want to help some people within their own ability. However, what these slightly wealthy enthusiastic people can do is donate money directly, because it is impossible to spare the time and energy to do specific things.
, only through third-party public welfare organizations.
The problem is that today's third-party public welfare organizations are hard to describe. Many enthusiastic people in the society are full of distrust of them. After donating money, they end up being wronged.
People who really need help can't get it at all. If that's the case, then put away your kindness.
When these people saw the education bursary fund run by Fang Hong, especially the transparent operating mechanism of this organization, many enthusiastic people left private messages on Fang Hong’s Weibo, hoping that he could open up a channel and want to
Donate the money to the Education Bursary Fund and entrust it to help more needy groups.
