Ministry of Education official website has announced the 2010 annual points. Ministry of Education this year to promote national education budget in GDP, the ratio of 4% goal. To explore the development of various types of schools at all levels of student funding and student funding of basic standards of basic standards, and to study the establishment of the Higher Education Funding Advisory Council program, it is necessary to “ask for money,” but also “spent a good money.” (The Beijing News on February 21)
Financial Education Investment to GDP, 4%, which has almost become a “topic of the century.” In 1993, China issued the “China Reform and Development Program” that “gradually improve national financial education expenditure (including: funding for education at all levels of finance, urban and rural educational surcharges, enterprise funds for the organization of primary and secondary schools, school Office industry tax breaks in part) the proportion of GDP, 4% of the end of the century. planning, finance, taxation and other departments should formulate corresponding policies and measures to be implemented carefully. “After that, 4% of this data has been by education and interested in education mentioned. In particular, by 1999, statistics show, the state education budget in GDP of only 2.55%, according to the law to protect investment in education is growing. In 2004, the Ministry of Education Minister Zhou Ji in two sessions during the period before the news conference, announced in 2007 must be allocated to education GDP4% to reach the goal. Be the proportion of actual investment in 2007, only 3.22%. In 2008 the figure reached 3.48%, since 1993, the highest level.
Ministry of Education declared in 2004 in three years time, “must achieve” the ultimate goal not achieved, therefore, stand again in 2010 the Ministry of Education to achieve the 4% target, but also not too optimistic. Of course, with six years ago, the Ministry of Education to achieve this goal, with better conditions, because the Chinese government to implement urban and rural compulsory education free tuition fees, living subsidy in the vocational school students, to further improve the national student loan system, students create employment practice base, etc., are all means to increase financial education investment. In addition, the Ministry of Education used the very wise “to promote the” realization of investment in education that the proportion of 4%, not the Ministry of Education, one thing can even be said, the initiative is not in the hands of the Ministry of Education.
In our view, financial education into our country a long time did not meet the statutory ratio of 4%, the most critical because there is no funding to establish an appropriate education, the school system and transparent financial management system, education funding and the use of money, are lack of supervision , binding mechanism, the resulting “to spend money”, “to ask for money spent” and “arbitrary charges,” “money are soon parted,” co-exist, while education, lack of money, while spending money, a vicious circle.
China’s “Education Act”, the “Compulsory Education Law”, and “Higher Education Act” expressly provides that “organized by the school shall ensure stable sources of funding.” State Council departments and local governments violated the provisions of the Compulsory Education Law, Compulsory Education does not fulfill its duties, or by the State Council ordered local governments at higher levels within a time limit; the circumstances are serious, the directly responsible person in charge and other directly responsible shall be given administrative sanctions. In theory, schools should be funded accordingly set up to protect education funding system, and serious accountability, schools should be allowed operators long-term financial difficulties by the school. Be legal in some places become a dead letter. In recent years, due to insufficient investment in education, education departments and schools to “money”, money, can be described as strenuous thinking, all sorts of pretexts. In the “money”, the more popular method is to cast the higher authorities opt for building various projects, carrying out various projects, and “run the ministries for money”; in the “money”, the first 10 years of this century education Top Education – “Education Industry” and “local bonds”, are relevant.
The most unacceptable is the lack of money in the name of the money to educational institutions, now as an education and academic corruption in high incidence of corruption. Limited investment in education and schools through various means “to raise” funds, and schools did not use the knife edge. From the education system as a whole view, administration, administrative review and assessment of the costs staggering, only a university administrative staff expenditure of tens of millions each year, and each one parent organizations, the administrative review, assessment, will burn off the number of thousands to millions of giant preparation costs, labor costs, materials costs, a year down the shops and assessment, evaluation, spending tens of millions. Development of concrete from the schools, leaders of the school’s achievements in mind, the greatness and success is widespread, our campus area of over 5,000 acres of the university, there are already dozens, and borrow billions of these universities had built the office building, laboratory building , a large number of idle. Moreover, corruption and infrastructure have become the hardest hit college, university leaders came down every year in infrastructure projects in the scandal.
The development of education need the money, but to better use every penny. Compared with developed countries, China financial education into the level, even at 4% of GDP, is very low, to such a low level of educational investment to support the world’s largest higher education (29.07 million), and the largest nine-year compulsory education, the result is nothing but two, one low level of education, and second, the heavy burden of people’s education – higher education tuition and high Needless to say, that is, free tuition in the implementation of nine-year compulsory education, the many areas while also free, while arbitrary charges. Improve the quality of education and from education to reduce the burden of the people starting, China should effectively raise the level of investment in education to ensure education funding. This can not be expected in various government departments send the conscious, but must establish a legally binding funding system.
At the same time, strengthen the democratic management of schools, establishment of right to participate in decision-making, evaluation and monitoring committee of teachers, parents and students to self-government Commission on the Committee is to enable schools and transparent financial management, leading the school to avoid arbitrary charges, the inevitable choice misused money. Otherwise, no amount of educational investment, breeding may be a waste and corruption, and difficult to nourish a first-class education, first-class schools and talents.
