Do parents have to pay social security for their children to go to school?

Legal analysis: No, the national law stipulates that children have the right to go to school and receive education, and parents can go to school without paying social security. But parents who go to school in other places need to pay social security locally. Children go to school according to the principle of household registration near the school. Local registered students studying in different places do not need to provide their parents' social security, but need to provide their mother's family planning certificate, one-child certificate, family residence booklet, proof of living property or lease contract.

Legal basis: Decision of NPC Standing Committee on Amending the Education Law of the People's Republic of China 5. One article is added as Article 18: "The state shall set standards for preschool education, accelerate the popularization of preschool education, and build a public preschool education service system covering urban and rural areas, especially rural areas." People's governments at all levels shall take measures to provide conditions and support for school-age children to receive preschool education. "
