It is understood that the China Development Research Foundation conducted a survey on the nutritional status of boarding primary school students in Chongli in April, believing that the nutritional status of primary school students in poverty-stricken areas needs to be improved urgently, and decided to cooperate with our city to set up a nutritional improvement project for boarding primary school students in poverty-stricken areas. Through experiments, a perfect, feasible and long-term nutrition guarantee mechanism for children in poverty-stricken areas was explored and established to improve children's nutrition level and physical quality. The project was implemented in two phases from April 3 this year to July 3, 2009. In the first stage, boarding primary schools in Chongli 10 were selected as samples, of which 8 were experimental schools and 2 were control schools. The Foundation gives all boarding students in eight experimental schools a food subsidy of two standards a year, equipped with corresponding catering equipment and personnel, and subsidizes every student with milk every day. Experts will test the students' physical fitness, physique, comprehensive learning ability and related psychological indicators before, during and after the experiment in 10 school, and complete the experimental report after comparing and analyzing the data.
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the project, China Development Research Foundation and Zhuhai jointly set up a project leading group headed by Lu Mai, Secretary of the Foundation, and Song Taiping, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, to implement the specific work of each link of the pilot project. The leaders of our city attach great importance to this project. On May 30th, city leaders Song Taiping, Wang Liang and Hou Liang made a special trip to Baiqi Township Boarding Primary School, one of the pilot schools of the project, to inspect and guide the work and learn more about the preliminary work of the project. Song Taiping asked the relevant departments to actively cooperate with the project experiment of China Development Research Foundation to make all the work deeper, more detailed and more practical; It is necessary to communicate with the parents of students in a timely and in-depth manner so that parents can understand and support the project; At the same time, report the problems encountered in the work in time, so as to revise and formulate more reasonable management measures and make positive contributions to the national policy of improving the nutrition of boarding school students in compulsory education in poor areas.
At the launching ceremony of the project, Lu Mai, secretary general of China Development Research Foundation, pointed out that in recent years, China's economy has developed rapidly, but in remote and poor areas, especially in poor rural areas, the nutritional status of children is far from that of the whole country. It is hoped that the implementation of the project will help the country to formulate relevant policies as soon as possible, so that the nutritional level and physical quality of children in these areas will be significantly improved. At the same time, the China Development Research Foundation will, as always, care for and support the educational development in Zhangjiakou.
On behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, Wang Liang, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Organization, expressed gratitude to the China Development Research Foundation for its concern and help to the education in our city. He said that Zhangjiakou City, Chongli and relevant departments will fully cooperate with the China Development Research Foundation to do a good job in this project, which will benefit the present and the future.
At the ceremony, Cui Xin, deputy secretary-general of China Development Research Foundation, and Yang Yucheng, deputy mayor, signed a project cooperation agreement.
