Farmers' training, with the first local regulations

A few days ago, the regulations on Peasant Education and training in Tianjin were adopted at the 17th meeting of the standing Committee of the 15th Tianjin people's Congress and will come into force on August 1 this year.

It is understood that this is the first local law specifically formulated for the education and training of farmers in China. "the law defines the connotation of farmers' education and training, standardizes the previous work experience in the form of system, and farmers' education and training is no longer a gust of wind." Li Yuxing, deputy director of the legal Affairs Commission of the standing Committee of the Tianjin Municipal people's Congress, said.

"the law can't stay on paper."

"if the rural labor force without education and training is transferred to non-agricultural industries and cities and towns, it is difficult to achieve stable employment in cities and towns, and it is difficult to upgrade the level of employment." Li Yuxing said.

The 2009 Monitoring report of migrant Workers in Tianjin released by the Tianjin investigation team of the National Bureau of Statistics confirms this point. The report shows that skills training has become an important way to improve the employment rate of farmers in Tianjin and an important means to enhance the employment competitiveness of migrant workers. The survey shows that 50.2% of migrant workers in Tianjin have received training in labor skills in addition to formal school education.

"the law can not stay on paper", how to ensure the maneuverability of laws and regulations is the focus of legislators' greatest attention.

In the legislative research for nearly two years, what impressed Li Yuxing most was the farmers' desire for education and training, especially free education and training. However, what is the connotation of farmers' education and training? In many conversations with farmers, legislators found that the education and training desired by farmers today can be divided into three aspects: adult academic education, agricultural practical technology training and vocational skills training. Therefore, the regulations define the education and training of farmers as the above three aspects for the first time.

After the rectification of the name, problems followed. Under the current system of our country, adult diploma education, agricultural practical technology training and vocational skills training belong to the education department, human resources and social security department and agricultural department respectively. For example, the training of special skilled workers (milkers, etc.) in agriculture is supposed to be the responsibility of human resources and social security departments, but in fact the training in this area is blank. In the legislative process of the regulations, legislators coordinated the relations of relevant departments many times, defined the division of labor among agriculture, human resources, social security and educational administrative departments, and established the contact meeting system for farmers' education and training. solved the problem of intersection and blank.

In order to ensure that peasant education and training can be truly implemented, the regulations specifically stipulate that peasant education and training work should be incorporated into the national economic and social development plan, formulate peasant education and training plans, and include peasant education and training funds in the annual financial budget. Special funds. Every year, when examining the budget report, the organs of the National people's Congress may supervise the allocation of funds for education and training for farmers.

"if you can read and surf the Internet, your life will be different."

In the definition of training objects, the regulations stipulate that "labourers with agricultural household registration in this city, workers with non-agricultural household registration in this city engaged in agricultural production, and workers who do not have household registration in this city but have leased land in this city to engage in agricultural production for more than two years." This is a defined scope that includes almost all the training objects. there is only one item of education and training for farmers. Tianjin's finance invests more than 10 billion yuan every year, and the matching funds of districts and counties range from several million to tens of millions of yuan.

Li Yuxing believes that although farmers are eager for education and training, training may not be able to meet the farmers' appetite. In the past, there was the embarrassment that the government gave money to training institutions, but the training was not welcomed by farmers. Some training institutions attract farmers to attend lectures on the condition of "taking charge of food" in order to gather the number of training people.

In order to avoid the popularity of training, the newly issued "regulations" specifically stipulate that institutions that undertake farmers' education and training must obtain the status of a legal person, and have qualified teachers, managers, equipment, practical training bases, and so on. Local government departments regularly assess the work of education and training.

After participating in the training, a rural woman in Zhangsizhuang Village, Dazhangzhuang Town, Beichen District, said that she could not read before and knew how to work and sleep, but now that she could read and surf the Internet, she felt that her heart was suddenly bright and her life was different.
