Nearly 3 million.

We learned from the China Children and Teenagers' Foundation that nearly 1% of my country's 300 million children are not enrolled in school.

Based on the calculation of 450 yuan in tuition and miscellaneous fees per child per year, the nearly 3 million out-of-school children due to poverty require more than 1 billion yuan in annual education funding.

To this end, Chen Muhua, president of the foundation, recently announced the launch of the "China Children's Activities Charity Day". Although the enrollment rate of primary school-age children in my country increased from 96.3% in 1990 to 99.1% in 2000, the five-year primary school consolidation rate increased from 71.4% in 1990. % increased to 94.5% in 2000, and nine-year compulsory education has been universalized in areas accounting for 85% of the country's population. However, due to uneven development, many school-age children in poor areas of our country are still unable to enter school. Only the survey of the "Ankang Plan West Tour" shows. There are 135,000 out-of-school children in Sichuan Province, 27,000 in 8 counties in Ningxia, and 50,000 in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. More than 70% of children are malnourished. In order to supplement the government's efforts, the China Children and Teenagers Foundation and China Charity Federation. The association jointly launched this large-scale charity event for the whole society. According to reports, the first "China Children's Charity Day" will be officially held on June 22 this year. A series of activities will be launched one after another, including charity performances, charity sales and overseas direct mail. Fundraising and "Change Charity" and other fund-raising; select "China Children's Charity Ambassador"; launch the "China Children's Literature Award" creative selection nationwide; continue to hold the annual "Spring Bud Cup" composition contest and "Children's English Contest" Etc. Recently, Mr. Chen Zesheng, chairman of Hong Kong Yunsheng (China) Investment Group Co., Ltd., took the lead in donating 5 million yuan and became the first funder of this event.
