Literally, the education expenditure arranged in the public finance budget refers to the education expenditure in the public finance budget. According to the classification of items in the Statistical Yearbook of Education Funds, it can be seen that the expenditure of education funds arranged by the public finance budget includes public finance education funds, scientific research funds and other appropriations. Public financial education funds only include education fees, capital construction funds and education surcharge;

Therefore, the scope of education expenditure arranged by public budget is larger than that of public finance education expenditure.
