Researches On Poor College Students In The Course Of Building A Harmonious Society

Entering the 21st century, China has embarked on a rapid developing stage of modernization. Building a harmonious society by applying scientific outlook on development becomes a goal of the party in power and the people. Among those contradictions arising in the course of social development, a special one that is a group of poor students in colleges and universities gradually draws attention of family, society and the government. Therefore, solving the problem of poor college students has become an important theoretical research task. Based on that, my thesis aims to provide some practical Countermeasures to solve the problem in the background of building a harmonious society.My thesis includes six parts as presented in the following paragraphs:Introduction: this part is about the cause of this problem, the significance of choosing such a subject, the new researching trend, the train of thought and ways of researching, the renovation and challenges of this subject; furthermore, the leap-forward development and achievements on assisted education of Zhengzhou University in recent years are also introduced here as a representative example.The first chapter describes the present statement of poor college students. The former focuses on the scale of poor college students and its proportion to the whole amount all around the nation. Many researches have been done on this aspect, but different people have different opinions and make different comments. By carrying out investigation and study of reality and basing on the most conservative estimation, I hold that the average ratio of the poor ones to the total college students nationwide is 20%, and the percentage of the especially poor is 10%, the total amount of poor students in all kinds of colleges and universities all around the nation is more than 5000000, and that of the especially poor is 2500000. The latter part centers on inquiring into the different causes of poor college students from villages and cities respectively and summarizing the family factors that lead to their poor statement I also analyze the root of such problems as the growth of the poor college students' ratio and the expansion of their scale and the large amount keeping rising in a long period. I think the tuition charged by colleges and universities causes the sharp growth of the ratio, the enlargement of the enrolment in colleges and universities leads to the great increase in the poor students, the inefficiency of assisting programs results into the large total amount.The second chapter is about the theoretical inquiry of the poor students assisting policy implemented by colleges and universities. The long-standing problem of poor students is considered to be the most Unharmonious factor in the course of building a harmonious society. It violates its principles, such as people-oriented thought, fairness and fraternity, and runs contrary to its original intention——no difference or rank can be seen in love. The long-standing problem of poor students in fact displays the unfairness of education, which is the evilest among all those unfairness in society. If this problem is not solved, the essential request of fair education—no class distinction existing in education, will be contradicted. The long-standing problem of poor students directly shows the imbalance of public service and the inefficiency of the government It violates the spirit of public service—making care and love spread every corner of the land. The long-standing problem of poor students is also caused by the pernicious influence of education industrialization. We should take a clear-cut stand against education industrialization. Therefore, I hold thai we should correctly understand the connotation of harmonious society—no difference or rank can be seen in love, fair education—no class distinction existing in education, and public service—making care and love spread every corner of the land, and make those poor students enjoy great love in a harmonious society, enjoy the care through public service, receive higher education in a fair way and develop themselves fully and freely. That is also the necessity of economical and social development in our country.The third part is about the evaluation of poor college students assisting policy. It is divided into two parts: the effects and evaluation of this policy. The former mainly contains general retrospection and tentative conclusion of college students assisting work in recent years since the policy has been implemented in Zhengzhou University and other colleges and universities in China. Due to adequate attention paid by the government and much effort made by colleges and universities, great accomplishment has been achieved. Taking Zhengzhou University as an instance, the latter includes respective research on five basic ways of assisting poor students, namely, scholarship, loan, work-study program, allowance and exemption, which are carried out at present in China, and the analysis of their advantages and disadvantage. Moreover, under the guidance of such three thoughts as "everyone has equal right to receive higher education", "the cost of higher education should be shared", and "investment needs to be made in talents fostering", I do research on the effects of the above five ways and arrange them in the best sequence like this: aiding loan, work-study program, scholarship, allowance and exemption of tuition, what I hope to be helpful to poor students assisting work.The forth chapter is about the thinking of poor students assisting policy. From the perspective of theories, I analyze the guiding principle and developing trend of that policy in a rational way. In the cause of aiding poor students, four roles are involved, namely, government, school, society and family. The government plays the role of main part, school the support, society the assistant and family the foundation. In the respect of collecting aiding funds, more input is needed from the government, more donations from the society and more extra income from colleges and universities; in the respect of legislating for poor students assisted policy, we should fully realize that the government is the mainstay of making laws and is responsible to establish a sound system of poor students aiding policies in order to ensure there are laws and regulations to go by when we implement those polices; in the respect of drawing on the experience of other countries, we should bravely and tolerantly make use of their rational, effective and feasible assisting policies, here I briefly introduce related policies of five countries and some experience we need to learn; in the respect of assisting methods, I point out the defects of present aiding policies and put forward several principles with the expectation of improving the existing policies, such as compensated aid principle, aiding for fostering talents principle, loan dominated principle, allowance and work-study program combination principle, tuition exemption principle, loan qualified in the source place of students principle.The fifth chapter is about suggestions to the system of assisting poor college students. By analyzing the problems existing in the course of aiding poor college students, for example, the higher education input tension of government, deficiency of aiding funds of colleges and universities, little achievements of social aid, credibility lacking of loan, high risk of the bank, incapability of mental and political work in educating students and inefficiency of work-study program, I set forth some suggestions to solve the problem and hold that the suggestions should be significant, practical and feasible. My suggestions include three aspects. First, the government should play a leading role in setting up education banks, which specialize in issuing poor students aiding loans, education lottery and public debt. The last two aim to collect adequate funds to provide a solid foundation to solve the problem of poor students; secondly, the colleges and universities should play a supportive role by establishing educational foundation to collect money from the society, providing more part-time job to poor students to encourage them to work their way through college, pushing reform in the educational system in order to make the present system more flexible for poor students to solve the problem on their own, and intensifying psychological education to ensure the poor students develop in a healthy and all-around way; thirdly, the society should play a supplementary role by setting up credibility insurance for poor students aiding loan to relieve banks from high risk and make them issue loans as many as possible, and by establishing a college students' credibility recording system nationwide to enhance their sense of credibility and raise the percentage of repaying the loan.
