Many reporters came to the signing ceremony. Almost all major domestic media sent reporters, and many major international media also participated. After all, this is a major event in our country.
This marks that our country has not only made great economic achievements in the past few years of reform and opening up, but also has entered the ranks of high welfare countries in one fell swoop.
Not only will the citizens fully enjoy the fruits of economic development, but it will also greatly improve our country's international reputation.
With the rapid development of our country's economy, there are more and more foreign media in our country, and reports on our country's economic achievements are also common, but the inherent prejudices still cannot disappear.
Since there is not much to blame about my country's economic development, those foreign media have focused on people's livelihood issues. In particular, there are still many poor people in our country, which is the focus of their reports.
Now the state has officially spent more than half of its fiscal expenditures to share development dividends with the people across the country and solve the worries of all citizens.
Poor families can get fair educational opportunities, elderly people in the family can receive pensions, reducing the burden of raising children, and free medical care prevents everyone from becoming poor due to illness.
Not to mention that only a few countries in the world can provide these three benefits for free, even in our country, this is of unprecedented historical significance. From ancient times to the present, this is the greatest good governance in our country.
After the Minister of Civil Affairs and Ouyang Huiyuan, the president of the National Welfare Acceptance Fund, exchanged the signed documents, the signing ceremony was officially completed.
The welfare contract signed between the National Welfare Acceptance Fund and the government has a term of 50 years, and the effective date of the contract is January 1, 1986.
In other words, the government only gave the National Welfare Acceptance Fund one year to prepare. Within this year, the companies under the fund need to build the school buildings and teaching conditions needed for education, and at the same time, they must also implement medical care nationwide. Institutional building.
Compared with the above two items, the implementation of pension benefits is relatively simple. It only requires a census and registration of the elderly population across the country, and a small number of nursing homes need to be built.
At present, nursing homes are not popular, and they are not in line with my country's basic national conditions. Most people would consider it unfilial if children let the elderly live in nursing homes. Moreover, in recent years, there are very few only children, and most elderly people have children by their side.
Only the elderly who are alone will live in nursing homes, and this group of people accounts for a very small proportion. Therefore, there is no need to build nursing homes in every county. Instead, nursing homes are planned to be established in regional cities to take over these elderly people and provide centralized care management.
When the Minister of Civil Affairs and Ouyang Huiyuan held hands together, the scene suddenly flashed with white light. All the reporters at the scene wanted to record this historic moment.
After the signing ceremony, it was time to answer questions from reporters.
The first person to ask the question was a reporter from CCTV. He asked: "Why do we need to reform the national welfare system at this moment, and to such a large extent? Will it put huge pressure on our country's finances?"
In response to a question from a CCTV reporter, the minister replied: “After my country’s reform and opening up, it has made great economic achievements and its financial situation has also been greatly improved. However, it also faces many problems, including the shortage of high-quality talents. .
This requires us to start solving the current domestic education problems. Only by giving citizens full educational rights can we provide society with sufficient high-quality talents. Therefore, vigorously developing education has become a must for us.
In the past, almost all urban employees in my country were provided with good medical insurance by their companies, but this group of people accounted for a small proportion. It could not make a decisive change in my country's current medical situation. The phenomenon of poverty due to illness is still common.
The issue of elderly care is not yet very urgent in our country because most of the current elderly population have several children.
However, with the implementation of my country's family planning policy, we will face huge pension problems in the future, so we must take precautions and plan the pension system in advance.
Therefore, educational welfare is a practical need, medical welfare is to completely solve the problem of poverty due to illness, and we also hope that people will use more funds to improve their lives and promote the development of the domestic economic cycle, and pension welfare is to prepare for the future. Plan to do it.
Of course, the economy has developed rapidly in recent years, but the improvement of people's livelihood has indeed lagged behind. The central government has made up its mind to spend a large amount of fiscal expenditure to share the results of reform and development with the people across the country, so that economic development can be closely linked to the vital interests of the people. .
Finance is taken from the people and used for the people, so that all citizens can fully enjoy the fruits of development. This is the driving force for the government's reform and the embodiment of governing for the people.
As for financial pressure, there is definitely some, but I think it is temporary. With the further development of the economy, the financial situation will further improve and the pressure will become smaller and smaller. "
The second person who asked the question was a reporter from the People's Daily. He asked: "We all know that welfare reform is a systematic project, which involves reforms in more fields. Does the government have any specific plans in this regard?"
The minister replied: “We have fully considered the difficulties involved, and we also know that the implementation of these welfare systems is not only a matter of funding, but also involves a lot of system reform and legal improvement.
There are still relatively few issues involved in education reform. Most of them are funding issues and teaching staff issues. We have made proper arrangements for funding issues. However, the teaching staff issue is unlikely to be fundamentally changed in the short term. This is not based on human will. for transfer.
Therefore, facing the problem of shortage of teachers, we are preparing to use the power of science and technology to make up for it in the early stage, and use distance Internet education to deal with these problems.
Allowing an excellent teacher to teach thousands of students at the same time, the teacher only needs to be the class teacher, which greatly reduces the problems caused by insufficient teachers.
Regarding the issue of Internet distance education, you can interview President Ouyang Huiyuan later. They already have a mature solution and a complete and stable plan.
Medical reforms not only involve the attributes of existing medical institutions and asset disposal issues, but also involve laws related to medical disputes, as well as medical-related financial reforms.
We will gradually solve and improve these problems later, and strive to complete them before 1986, without any delay.
In terms of pension system reform, the main issues are funding issues and pension payment issues. We will also formulate strict legal systems and financial reform measures in the future to ensure that pensions are paid accurately and in full to people.
Regarding reforms in this area, all journalists can pay close attention in the future. "
The third questioner was an Associated Press reporter, who asked: “We noticed that the National Welfare Acceptance Fund is a private entity, which is rare in the world.
I don’t know what China’s considerations are. We all know that China is a socialist country. Does this mean social system reform? "
The minister replied: “We are currently building socialism with characteristics and do not exclude private capital. We also hope that more private capital and international capital will participate in our country’s economic construction.
As for contracting national welfare to the National Welfare Acceptance Fund, the main aspects are as follows:
First, our country’s finances are not enough to support the initial welfare reform and construction, which requires more funds to participate, and the National Welfare Acceptance Fund has such strength.
Second, compared with administrative units, private capital has an advantage in the efficiency of fund utilization. Although the fiscal expenditures for this welfare reform account for a large proportion, the absolute funds are not very large, and every penny must be spent wisely.
Third, the National Welfare Acceptance Fund has great advantages in technology and can solve some problems in a short time, such as insufficient teachers and low medical technology, and can provide high-quality welfare services to the general public.
In the process of this cooperation, we specially established the National Welfare Fund with the purpose of supervising the use of welfare funds, inspecting the service quality provided by the National Welfare Acceptance Fund, resolving conflicts in the welfare implementation process, and resolving the current welfare system Coordination issues in reform.
Although we have contracted national welfare to the National Welfare Acceptance Fund, it does not mean that we leave the service to ourselves, but we have a set of service standards, and these standards have been correspondingly standardized in the contract.
If the National Welfare Acceptance Fund wants to make a profit, it must ensure that the profit ratio must not exceed 5% of the annual welfare expenditure when the corresponding welfare standard services are achieved.
The specific proportion needs to be calculated comprehensively during the annual review based on the implementation goals for the next year.
So there is no need to worry about the quality of welfare services. "
Next, an ATV reporter seized the opportunity to ask questions. He asked: "We noticed what the minister just said, which is distance learning on the Internet. President Ouyang, can you please explain to me in detail what the Internet is? How to achieve distance teaching?"
Ouyang Huiyuan took the microphone and said: "I have just taken office not long ago, so I can't answer you too detailed technical questions, so I will simply answer some general concepts.
The Internet is a technology that connects servers to clients through optical fiber communication technology. The servers are provided by content service providers, and the clients are digital users.
Through the Internet, digital users can obtain digital services provided by service providers. The simplest ones are news and message services, as well as video resource services.
Hengtong Communications Company has now begun to lay out the national information high-speed backbone network. It is expected to lay more than 100,000 kilometers of network routes this year, including more than 10,000 kilometers of backbone networks, 30,000 kilometers of branch networks, and the rest are home access routes.
Due to the current implementation of welfare reform and the continued support of the Internet in education, Hengtong Communications Company accelerated construction in 1985 and strived to achieve 100% coverage in all cities and towns across the country within 1985. At the same time, most rural areas with convenient transportation can also achieve fiber optic coverage. .
For some particularly remote areas where optical fiber coverage is temporarily unavailable, there is also a set of wireless communication technologies to solve this problem for local schools. I don’t know the specific details. If you want to know more information, you can consult Hengtong Communications Company.
As for distance teaching, Fanxing Software Company is responsible for the development of relevant distance teaching systems. I think Fanxing Software Company is worthy of trust.
Distance learning electronic hardware equipment is entrusted to Polaris Company to be responsible for the research and development, such as LCD electronic blackboards, distance teaching servers and other equipment. They already have considerable strength in these fields.
The specific implementation process of remote teaching is that teachers can record videos, upload them to the server, and then transmit the video resources to teachers in various video teaching schools through the server, so that students can follow the video teaching content to learn.
In order to help students answer questions, we will also preset question answers to try to meet the needs of most students. At the same time, we will also configure some teachers to provide solutions to questions that cannot be answered automatically.
Although it is not as perfect as on-site teaching by teachers, it is an effective way to solve the shortage of teachers in our country. It will take a long time to completely solve the problem of insufficient teachers. "
If you follow Ouyang Huiyuan's answer, the quality of the education provided will not be very high, and it will be difficult to solve the details of education. However, in order not to expose the elementary artificial intelligence, Zhao Yi will not tell him the entire content.
In addition to artificial intelligence, other solutions, as he said, are to use Internet technology to solve the problem of insufficient teachers. As for saving education costs, it is hard to say.
Because teachers’ salaries at this time were not high, and the cost of using high technology was actually not low. (End of chapter)
