Summer Social Practice Report - Rural College Students' Cost Survey


China has a population of 1.3 billion, of which 800 million are farmers. There are 15 million college students in China, and more than half of them are from rural areas. Although the city government has invested a lot of money every year to develop education, in the face of huge numbers, this money is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket, and the government is still far behind the remote villages. Although China has basically achieved a well-off level, the problem of food and clothing has long been resolved, and per capita income has exceeded $1,000 and is moving towards $3,000. However, these data and achievements can not subvert 80% of the wealth concentrated in the hands of 20% of the words, the average does not mean all. There was once a famous scholar who said that there are three reasons why ordinary people are poor. One of them is to support children to study.

Take the 05 college students in Sichuan as an example. In the sixth year of the National Primary School, the average cost per semester is 300-400 yuan, and the compromise is 700 pieces per year. The economic situation during the period from 1993 to 1999 was: 500 kg of grain per mu, the government's purchase price of grain was 1 yuan per kilogram; a family of four was calculated by 1.2 mu per person of field, and 2,400 kilograms of grain could be harvested a year. RMB 2,400, Sichuan is located in the subtropical zone and is cooked twice a year. The yield of rapeseed grown in winter is 150 kilograms per acre. If all the fields are raped, 720 kilograms of rapeseed can be obtained. The market purchase price is 2.4 yuan per kilogram and the income can be 1728 yuan. If the weather is smooth in all seasons, the annual income will be 4,128 yuan. After removing the fertilizer and removing the pesticides, after removing the basic ration of the family, 700 yuan per year should not be a big problem. Of course, the head of the family will still have a family. Three years in the middle of the country, that is, 1999-XX years. The tuition fee for each semester is raised to 600-700 yuan, and the food price during this period has also risen to 1.4 yuan per kilogram. In the case of other changes, the annual household income increase is 0.4 times 2400 equals 960 yuan. Tuition expenses increased by 600 yuan. Therefore, in the country's vigorous popularization of the nine-year compulsory education stage, ordinary families can still afford it.

In high school for three years, XX-XX years, the tuition fee increased sharply to 1,800 yuan per semester. Since high schools are mainly concentrated in cities, most rural students have to choose to live on campus, so the cost per semester will increase by 200 yuan for living expenses plus 600 yuan. In this way, the cost per semester reached 2,600 yuan, which is a high price for rural students. At the same time, the price of rice is stable at 0.7 yuan per kilogram, the price of rapeseed is floating between 1 and 1.5 yuan per kilogram, and the annual income of ordinary households is around 4,300 yuan. Half or more of the families were forced to drop out of school because they could not afford such high costs. Some parents have taken three approaches in order to continue their studies for children with good grades. The first way is to switch to aquaculture and grow cash crops; way two, go out to work; way three, make a big foreign debt. As we all know, the outbreak of SARS and avian flu in 2002-XX has made the aquaculture industry difficult. The rupture of pig streptococcosis and foot-and-mouth disease and the little-known Sino-Russian pig export negotiations have further aggravated the aquaculture industry. When jumping off a building because you have not received a salary, it is not uncommon for a family to be able to return to the streets because of the arrears of wages. When the debts are rejected again and again, what do our rural parents take to let their children continue to study? After three years of struggle, half of the family can be described in one word – the family.
XX years, college entrance examination, university! ! ! The Ministry of Education has put forward a resounding slogan: “One can't be less!” The National Student Loan provides a green channel for rural students to reach the university. The annual student loan of 6,000 makes the children ecstatic. However, in XX, some universities have increased tuition fees by 20%, tuition fees have risen to 5,000 per year, plus the cost of living expenses for living expenses, 6000 is obviously not enough. I have witnessed a pair of fathers and sons from the countryside counting a few counts before the start of the school, and the brows quickly screwed out the water. For farmers who do not have a fixed income, the monthly living expenses of more than 200 pieces are by no means small. Selling eggs also sells more than 500. This requires more than 17 hens to lay an egg every day. Of course, no chicken can guarantee that it will lay eggs every day. According to the statistics, the rural students of the 05 freshmen left school on February 14th, and his expenses ranged from 8200 to 9200 yuan. A family of four does not eat or drink, but also for two and a half years...

Using this winter vacation time, through the data I collected in several places and the visits to some families, I wrote this practice report with a heavy heart. One of the purposes is to remind those rural students who are indulging in the Internet or ruining their studies or even abandoning themselves. They hope to find themselves again, worthy of their own, and worthy of their parents, worthy of every drop of sweat spilled on the loess black ground.

The original intention of writing this report is that a rural classmate of our college left home because of a love affair, and the final guest died in the hometown. The sadness is even more irritating. He is also sorry for himself!

Postscript: It is exciting that in XX, the Ministry of Education introduced a new set of free tuition and fees for rural students in the nine-year compulsory education stage, and the burden on rural families will be further reduced.
