The Central Committee of the Communist Youth League started the pilot project from 1996, successfully implemented the Jingle Project and Baise Project, and accumulated useful experience. 1998 In April, according to the spirit of the important instructions of the central leadership, the Central Civilization Office and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League jointly issued the "Opinions on Implementing the Relay Plan for Young Volunteers to Teach for Poverty Alleviation", drawing on and popularizing the pilot experience, marking the beginning of this work to be widely implemented nationwide. In June, 1998, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the Ministry of Education jointly issued the Opinions on Implementing the Youth Volunteers' Poverty Alleviation Relay Plan, and in June, 1999 jointly issued the Notice on Doing a Good Job in Supporting the Education of Youth Volunteers' Poverty Alleviation Relay Plan, which further improved the relevant policies in combination with the practical problems encountered in the implementation process. At the same time, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Agriculture respectively issued the Opinions on Recruiting Urban Youth Health Technicians to Participate in the Youth Volunteer Relay Program for Poverty Alleviation and the Notice on Recruiting Young Agricultural Technicians to Participate in the Youth Volunteer Relay Program for Poverty Alleviation, which made corresponding provisions on the recruitment target, implementation scope, organization and management, calculation period, salary, personnel files, household registration and living allowance. The timely promulgation of these documents has played a powerful policy guarantee role for the smooth implementation of the poverty alleviation relay plan.
In the past three years, with the strong support of relevant ministries and commissions, the implementation scale of the poverty alleviation relay plan has been expanded year by year, and the implementation quality has been continuously improved. Among the nearly 200,000 urban youths who signed up enthusiastically, 68 10 people were recruited to participate in the poverty alleviation relay program, helping nearly 160 poor counties, benefiting more than one million people and participating in 30 provinces, which promoted the development of education, health, agriculture and other undertakings in poor areas, and the vast number of young people also grew up in the practice of voluntary service. At present, the youth volunteer relay program for poverty alleviation has initially formed an implementation system including two pillar projects of teaching and supporting doctors and two pilot projects of teaching and supporting agriculture, and has formed two working modes: supporting underdeveloped areas in developed areas in the province and supporting counterparts across provinces and cities.
In the field of poverty alleviation through teaching, since June 1998, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the Ministry of Education have jointly established a postgraduate education group. At present, graduate students recommended by 33 key universities in China have gone to 27 poverty-stricken counties to engage in one-year education. The first batch of 10 1 graduate students have successfully completed their service tasks and returned to school to continue their studies. The second 13654. This year, under the leadership of the Graduate Education Group, there are 23 10 young volunteers participating in supporting the poor. In the field of medical assistance and poverty alleviation, last year, a pilot relay program for young healthy volunteers was launched in Anhui and Hubei. In April this year, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the Ministry of Health jointly promoted it in some provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. At present, * * * has sent more than 300 young health volunteers to poor counties to carry out health care services, and the National Youth Health Volunteers Western Service Group is providing services in poor county and township medical institutions in Qinghai and Xinjiang. It is estimated that by the end of this year, the number of young volunteers participating in health poverty alleviation will exceed 500.
From the cross-provincial counterpart support, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shandong, Fujian, Liaoning, Dalian, Qingdao, Ningbo, Xiamen, Shenzhen and other sub-provincial cities have effectively carried out this work. This year, more than 4,200 people in Shenzhen alone applied for the 2 1 service post in the poverty alleviation relay plan implemented in Guizhou. Judging from the situation that developed areas in the province provide counterpart support to underdeveloped areas, most provinces without counterpart poverty alleviation tasks have implemented poverty alleviation work in the province to varying degrees. Among them, the Sichuan Communist Youth League Committee, together with the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Department of Finance, and other eight party and government departments, formulated the Opinions on Implementing the Relay Plan of Sichuan Young Volunteers' Counterpart Support for Poverty Alleviation, and mobilized more than 200 young volunteers to teach in poverty-stricken areas in the province as a concrete measure to implement the spirit of the Notice of the Central Office and the State Council on Promoting Counterpart Support for Schools in the East and West. The Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League and the Health Department jointly issued a document to promote the implementation of the relay program for young healthy volunteers throughout the province. This year, * * * has sent 74 urban health technicians to 24 township hospitals in 20 poverty-stricken counties in the province to carry out medical assistance and poverty alleviation. The widespread implementation of the youth volunteer relay program for poverty alleviation not only eased the shortage of talents such as teachers, doctors and agricultural technicians in poverty-stricken areas in the central and western regions, but also promoted the improvement of local education, medical care and agricultural science and technology. While serving, young volunteers strive to spread modern ideas and civilized and healthy lifestyles, and also play the role of civilized messengers in changing backward ideas. During the service period, the majority of young volunteers overcame the difficulties of climate, diet, language and so on. Do your job conscientiously, be tempered in a tough environment, hone your character, increase your talents and improve your quality.
Young volunteers engaged in teaching work attend classes 12 or more per week on average. They overcame the difficulty of backward teaching facilities, and the students in their classes generally improved their academic performance. In the absence of medical equipment, young volunteers who participated in the medical support work went deep into the countryside with superb technology, rescued many dying patients, created many miracles and firsts in the local medical history, reduced the incidence of poverty caused by illness, poverty caused by illness, and accelerated the pace of people in poverty-stricken areas getting rid of poverty and becoming rich. Although the proportion of young volunteers participating in poverty alleviation through agriculture and science and technology is not high, they live with local farmers and go deep into the fields for technical guidance, which also plays an active role.
The poverty alleviation relay program not only has a wide influence in China, but also attracts the attention and participation of young friends abroad. In March 2000, Lin, a Singaporean Chinese teacher, went to Datong, Qinghai to teach. She became the first foreign volunteer to participate in the poverty alleviation relay project. In August this year, Malaysian youth volunteer He Peibin went to Yuzhong, Gansu Province to participate in the poverty alleviation relay program. During the six months of teaching to help the poor, Lin not only successfully completed the scientific research task of English teaching with the volunteers of the graduate education group, but also set up a scholarship with a capital of 8,000 yuan before leaving Datong. After returning to Singapore, she actively promoted the China Youth Volunteer Relay Poverty Alleviation Program and was interviewed by Singapore Lianhe Zaobao, which caused a great sensation in Singapore. Many young Singaporeans wrote to ask about participating in the poverty alleviation relay program and applied to participate in the poverty alleviation relay program.
