大力落实对家庭贫困大学生的资助和扶持政策,关系到数以百万计的贫困生的学业和生活,绝非小事。这项工作做得如何,不仅仅是个经济问题,而且是个政治问题,是社会公正、教育公平的重要体现。我们高兴地看到,在党中央、国务院的高度关心和关怀下,经过各方面的共同努力,国家助学贷款工作按照新机制运作,已经或正在实现新的重大突破,整体状况良好。并出现了一批工作做得较好的省份(福建、湖北、湖南等)和高校(北京科大、中国农大、兰州大学、四川大学等),特别是中国银行积极主动、高效率的工作,令人敬佩。同时也要看到,这项工作发展还很不平衡。如何进一步加强中央政策落实力度,巩固和扩大成果,仍需要各方面坚持不懈的努力。我们期待着有更多的好经验、好典型不断涌现。———编者 Vigorously implementing the subsidy and supportive policies for poor students in the family is not a trivial matter as it relates to the education and living of millions of poor students. How this work is done is not only an economic issue but also a political issue. It is an important manifestation of social fairness and education fairness. We are pleased to see that with the joint efforts of all parties under the great care and concern of the Central Party Committee and the State Council, the state-sponsored loan work has been operating under the new mechanism and a new major breakthrough has been achieved or is in good overall condition. A number of well-performing provinces (Fujian, Hubei and Hunan) and universities (Beijing Normal University, China Agricultural University, Lanzhou University, Sichuan University, etc.) and especially the Bank of China took a proactive and efficient approach. People admire. At the same time, we should also see that the development of this work is still very uneven. How to further strengthen the implementation of the Central Government’s policies and consolidate and expand the achievements still require the unremitting efforts of all parties. We are looking forward to more good experiences and good examples are constantly emerging. ---editor
