中小学乱收费是指违反法律、法规和政策 ,未经省级教育、物价、财政部门核定并未经省人民政府批准 ,擅自设立收费项目、提高收费标准和扩大收费范围的行为。近年来 ,从中央到地方 ,各级人民政府和教育部门始终把制止中小学乱收费问题作为纠正行业不正之风的一项重点工作来抓 , Irregularities in primary and secondary schools are violations of laws, regulations, and policies. They have not been authorized by the provincial education, commodity prices, and financial departments and have not been approved by the provincial people’s government to set up fees, increase charges, and expand the scope of charges. In recent years, from the central government to local governments, the people’s governments at all levels and the education department have always taken the issue of curbing outbreaks of charges in primary and secondary schools as a key task in correcting unhealthy trends in the industry.
