Specific analysis of specific problems.

The following is a quoted article.

1955, Friedman, a representative of Chicago monetary economy school, first put forward the theory of education voucher in the article "The role of government in education". The government should change the way of directly subsidizing public schools and issue education vouchers directly to students' families. Students can choose any school recognized by the government by their own credentials, and the school collects operating funds from the government by credentials. This is a "non-exclusive" mode.

Jencks, an American sociologist, argues that only families with low income or special needs should get special subsidies or a second compensatory education voucher. This belongs to the exclusive mode.

Kuhn and Sugerman, professors at the University of California, believe that education vouchers with different denominations should be issued according to different family conditions to achieve a fairer distribution of economic resources. This also belongs to the "exclusion of wealth" mode.

Advantages and disadvantages of implementing "education voucher" and its countermeasures

(1) The implementation of the education voucher system does have many benefits:

1, breaking the financial path of illegal kindergartens. In the case of education vouchers, parents may have to pay less for choosing regular kindergartens than illegal kindergartens, so illegal kindergartens will gradually lack the market.

2 to avoid the occupation, misappropriation and insufficient investment of education funds. The face value of each coupon is fixed, and it has been sent to children. Investment and use can be referenced.

3. Promote competition among schools and improve the quality and efficiency of running schools. Schools must obtain funds for running schools by recruiting students, and in order to recruit students, they must devote themselves to improving the quality of teaching in order to get parents' approval.

4. Students' independent choice reflects the fairness of education. Children can choose their favorite school just as they spend money in the supermarket.

Faced with these problems, we can:

Educational reform is a trend, but due to the special national conditions of China, such as large population and great differences in development, the reform cannot be carried out, which is what reformers are worried about. You can choose areas that have the ability to carry out pilot projects (fortunately, there are several areas in the country that are pilot projects for various aspects of education reform). Nothing is perfect. We can maximize the favorable factors and minimize the unfavorable factors. This is success. You don't have to be too demanding to miss the opportunity for reform. First of all, it is important to change ideas. Instead of always seeing superficial academic achievements, the government should pay attention to the development of students' ability. Secondly, narrowing the gap between schools does not mean that "everyone is equally rich", but that good schools "share a piece of cake" for schools with lower educational level. For example, each school should have its own characteristics. This school pays attention to cultivating talents in music, while that school pays attention to cultivating talents in painting to meet the different choice needs of children. Finally, it is more reasonable to implement that kind of "exclusive" education voucher. For the poor and the rich, education vouchers need to be issued. We can't give children artificial distinctions because of the success of their parents' generation. Don't completely ignore the children of rich families, but we can make the necessary tilt to the children of poor families.

Friedman, the representative figure of Chicago monetary economics school, believes that it was put forward by this school. I don't think education vouchers will have a way out in America. Now the Nobel Prize in Economics is not Chicago School. The world economy is facing a left turn. This scheme, which emphasizes competition and favors private schools, should not be used well in the United States.

How should we educate China? It is better to find the answer in our own history and look at foreign experience.

This is my idea, I hope it will be useful to you.
