School bus refers to

Long before the invention of the car, there was a horse-drawn school bus in the United States dedicated to picking up and dropping off students. The first company to produce school buses was called Wayne Works, and at least in 1837 it started producing a carriage for 25 children, dedicated to picking up and dropping off students. Around 1886, this type of carriage was called "School cars" or "School trucks".

Activity Overview

Sohu Weibo officially launched the "Safe School Bus" operation on November 18, 2011, and issued an initiative to all sectors of the country and caring netizens to jointly appeal and pay attention to school bus safety legislation. On May 1, 2012, the national standard for special school buses was released. Later, some domestic buses joined Sohu's "Safe School Bus" operation, and on the eve of Children's Day, they sent a school bus to the children in Malutang Township, Yunnan.

For the children of Tonglong Primary School, Malutang Township, Luquan County, Yunnan Province, Children's Day 2012 is a bit special, because on this day, they received a special holiday gift-a coveted "big nose" school bus .

No person responsible for school bus

Yuan Guilin, a professor at the Education Department of Beijing Normal University, said that during the compulsory education phase, county-level finance was the main guarantee for funding, and in many areas in the central and western regions, county-level finance was used for compulsory education. Both the purchase of school buses and the operation of school buses require funding, and the government lacks more funds for school bus investment. And, which department should be held accountable for school bus safety accidents? No law can say clearly where this authority is, without any legal basis.

The current management of school buses is common management and common responsibility, but common management and common responsibility are no one to manage, no one to be responsible, and lack the main body of responsibility. Which department is the school bus under? There is no clear division of responsibilities between the public security, education, and transportation departments. Both the "Compulsory Education Law" and the "Outline of the National Medium- and Long-Term Education Reform and Development Plan" talk about school safety, but they do not mention the word "school bus." The education department does not know if it is its own responsibility, because without the legal basis, it cannot find the responsible body.

Seriously insufficient education funding

The research group of the National People s Congress Education, Culture, and Health Committee wrote in Qiushi magazine that the insufficient investment in education funds restricted the development of education in China. First, the current investment in education in China is at a relatively low level compared with the rest of the world. In 2008, China s per capita education expenditure was 160 US dollars, less than half of the world s per capita education expenditure of 400 US dollars in 2006, and less than one tenth of the US $ 1,800 per capita of the OECD countries. The proportion of fiscal education expenditures in GDP in 2004 was 4.7% in the world average, and China was only 3.59% in 2009.

The second is the mismatch between government financial resources and educational responsibilities. After the reform of the tax-sharing system in 1994, the educational division of power at all levels of government has not been fundamentally adjusted with changes in the financial structure, and some county governments with weak financial resources are unable to assume the educational responsibility stipulated by law. The Education Law's requirements for education funding have not been implemented well in some areas. During the seven-year period from 2002 to 2008, the increase in education expenditure in the national budget for four years was lower than the increase in the regular fiscal revenue. There were 11 and 11 in 2004-2008 respectively. The increase in education expenditure in the budgets of 12, 12, 2, and 4 provinces was lower than the increase in fiscal regular income. In addition, there are many regions that do not collect full education surcharges.

Some educators lack morality

Education scholar Xiong Bingqi believes that many people attribute the chaos in the current education system to the education system, and also sympathize with the parties as "victims of the system", but this is not just the effect of the system. The group unconsciously abandons the bottom line, and quickly aggravates the disadvantages of the system.

Xiong Bingqi said that if each educator insists on his education conscience, at least, the situation of giving students bad food should not occur; the situation of leaving students without schooling should not appear; the things that seriously harm students' physical and mental health should not appear. These are not the problems of the system, but are strictly prohibited by the system. The reason for these incidents is that some educators, out of their own self-interest, have forgotten the fundamentals of being a person and a teacher, and they use students as tools for making money. Losing shame has become a problem in China's education and academic research.

School bus

There is a Shengshengzhuang Village in Chengxi Street, Wenling City, Zhejiang Province, which is no different from ordinary villages, but the village has parked 52 brand-new school buses, and the parking is almost one year. This bright orange-yellow color can be seen from far away, and it is particularly eye-catching.

This was purchased by the Anhui Chamber of Commerce in Taizhou with an investment of about 20 million yuan. It was originally planned to set up a school bus company in Wenling to solve the problem of migrant children's school students' pick-up and drop-off, and not to make a profit. This was a good thing, but because of insufficient market demand, this enthusiastic plan was poured into an "ice bucket". These brand-new school buses have been "desolated" in the village for almost a year, and even became "public toilets" for some people to solve their internal problems. The villagers said that if they were not removed these two months, the site would be constructed. ^[11]

School bus subsidy

In order to encourage the standardized operation of school buses, the Shenyang Yuhong District Government allocated special financial funds in 2013 to provide operating subsidies to two school bus companies, with a monthly subsidy of 23 yuan per seat. However, when the subsidy was issued, it was found that the subsidy did not match the actual number of seats. The inspection found that the 16 school buses were supposed to have 228 seats, but when the subsidy was declared, the number of seats became 536, which resulted in nearly 100,000 yuan in financial subsidies. The school bus company explained that they had pasted the wrong number when preparing the application form. According to regulations, each school bus has to be stamped and examined by 6 departments, including education, public security, schools, and transportation. With so many departments checking at various levels, problems still arise. ^[12]
