Middle schools require parents to donate money to install air conditioners in classrooms. Shouldn't it be government funding?

It is very hot in summer, so it is inevitable that children will feel a little uncomfortable in class. The installation of air conditioning in classrooms has been popularized all over the country, which is also a good policy to ensure students' class conditions. In Anxi County, Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, a middle school plans to install air conditioners for students in the classroom. But it is not funded by the school itself, nor by the local government, but by parents. What's going on here? It turned out that this school proposed to install air conditioners for students when the weather was hot this year, and the installation fee of air conditioners was proposed by parents. The school wrote in the proposal that in order to ensure the quality of classes for students and teachers, parents are being called to carry out air conditioning modification activities. Although the parents who received the proposal had doubts, most of them paid the fee. It is understood that the first-grade classrooms in this middle school have all been rebuilt, and the second-grade classrooms have not yet started school. Some parents who found something wrong reported it to the local government. After verification, the staff of relevant departments confirmed that there were illegal charges in the school and urged the refund. At present, all the money paid by parents has been returned. The headmaster of this school was also called to talk. Obviously, the school's charging activities are led by the principal, who obviously knows that the funds for improving teaching conditions should not be funded by parents. According to the regulations, the installation fee of air conditioners should be funded by the government. It is good to air-condition children and improve the teaching environment, but it should not be funded by parents. After the incident, the local government also arranged personnel to conduct investigations in schools in the county to strictly control the phenomenon of arbitrary charges. Affected by the epidemic, the income of many families fluctuates more or less, and it is already a heavy burden to pay tuition for children, not to mention the so-called air conditioning modification fee. Thoroughly investigating the phenomenon of arbitrary charges in schools is an important measure to ensure social equity and should be stepped up.
