【正确答案】This May we conducted a study tour on free urban compulsory education across Inner Mongolia autonomous region, and discovered that the far-reaching policy has produced a far-reaching impact on local education. There are 32 cities and regions in Inner Mongolia. In the fall of 2006, the local government exempted all students in compulsory education in 14 cities, including Manzhouli and Erenhot, from tuition fees and miscellaneous fees. A year later, eligible students in another 18 cities were included in the same program. The rollout of this policy promotes the sound and stable development of local compulsory education, ensures access to education among school-age children and reduces the dropout rate in compulsory education. It also reduces the financial burden on low-income urban families, and in particular, delivers tangible benefits to those that live on subsistence allowances, have laid-off parents and many children, and those formed by migrant workers. During the tour we were impressed by the ardent support for the policy among local parents and students, especially those from low-income families. In addition, the government offers textbooks for free to the students, and free exercise books are also made available in Dongsheng District, Erdos. The local government also works in different ways to protect the rights of children of migrant workers and ensure their full access to compulsory education. 12.By the end of 2007, all the 206,000 children of migrant workers across the region, as their urban peers, were exempted from tuition fees and miscellaneous fees.
