Abstract By the end of 2005, in order to effectively reduce the burden on farmers and to promote the balanced development of compulsory education, China began to implement compulsory education funds safeguard mechanism ("new mechanism"). According to a survey in Hebei, Shandong and Guangxi provinces, it is found that the "new mechanism" is well implemented, and the burden of compulsory education in rural households is at more reasonable levels, but that of low-income family and boarders’ family remains heavy. To end this, it is necessary to regulate the rural school fees, and to increase subsistence living allowance efforts. In addition, the survey also shows that the coverage and the amount of free lunch project should be strengthened in the future, to ensure the healthy development of rural students.
