1, the growth of educational financial allocation of people's governments at all levels is higher than the growth of fiscal revenue at the same level;

2. The per capita education funds of students in school are gradually increasing;

3. Teachers' salaries and public funds for each student are gradually increasing.

These three increases come from Article 55 of the Education Law of the People's Republic of China promulgated by 1995. Later, this provision was popularly called "three increases" in education funds. The newly revised "Education Law" puts these three additional clauses in Article 56.

So what is education funding? Refers to the expenditure actually used for education in the central and local financial budgets. Education funds include education funds (that is, personnel funds and public funds of various schools at all levels) and education capital investment (the cost of building school buildings and purchasing large-scale teaching equipment).

In fact, if you know something about education, you should know that the shortage of education funds has been puzzling the development of education in China and has become a major "bottleneck" restricting the development of education in China, so our country also attaches great importance to this aspect.

III. Historical Background of Growth 1949 Since the founding of New China, China has paid more attention to the development of education, taken many measures in terms of education funds, and established many constructive systems, such as raising education funds through multiple channels, exploring the prevention of higher education funds and financial risks, and achieved great results. The government's investment in education is increasing.

Education funds are increasing.

From 65438 to 0983, according to the requirements of the central government, we studied the proportion of education funds in the gross national product, and finally determined an index: 4%. This ratio is based on the conclusion of "Study on the Reasonable Proportion of Education Funds to Gross National Product". 1993 the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the Outline of Education Reform and Development in China, which clearly stated that "we should continue to improve the system of running schools at different levels and managing them at different levels", and also put forward two very important indicators: the proportion of national fiscal education expenditure to GDP will reach 4% by the end of the 20th century. During the Eighth Five-Year Plan period, the proportion of education funds in financial expenditures at all levels gradually increased to not less than the national average 15%. This is also the first time that the central document puts forward the goal that the proportion of fiscal education funds to GDP reaches 4%.

The system of raising education funds through multiple channels has been gradually established. With the substantial increase of financial investment in education funds, the total amount of education funds is also expanding.

1995, the Education Law of the People's Republic of China was officially promulgated. Article 55 clearly states: "The growth of financial allocation for education by people's governments at all levels should be higher than the growth of recurrent financial revenue, and the average education expenditure should be gradually increased according to the number of students in school, so as to ensure the gradual increase of teachers' salaries and public expenditure per student." Later it was called the "three growth" of education funds.

"Three Increases" in Education Funds

After the goal of 4% was set, the national financial education funds continued to achieve "three growth", accumulated year by year, and finally achieved the goal of 4%.

The 20021Education Law amended Article 55, changing the expression of "three growth" to "The proportion of national fiscal education expenditure to gross national product should be gradually increased with the development of national economy and the growth of fiscal revenue. The specific proportion and implementation steps shall be stipulated by the State Council. The proportion of education funds in the total fiscal expenditure at all levels in the country should be gradually increased with the development of the national economy. "

Nowadays, "three growths" has become a serious legal issue, which is stipulated in China's education law. It is the legal obligation of governments at all levels to guarantee "three growth" according to law. China has always regarded education as a fundamental and overall great cause in national economic and social development, and has continuously increased its investment in education.

Legal basis: Education Law of the People's Republic of China

Article 55 With the development of national economy and the growth of fiscal revenue, the proportion of national fiscal education expenditure to gross national product should be gradually increased. The specific proportion and implementation steps shall be stipulated by the State Council.

The proportion of education funds in the total national financial expenditure at all levels should be gradually increased with the development of the national economy.
