Theoretical circles have not reached a complete consensus on the institutional characteristics and connotation of "modern school system". The common view comes from two different logics:

First, the concept of school governance comes from expanding educational resources and other economic attributes, emphasizing property rights, independent operation and board system, as well as the relationship between schools and the government and the market.

The other is the governance problems arising from the cultivation of people's educational attributes in schools, which emphasize internal management systems such as school-based management and people-oriented management, and attach importance to the relationship between schools and the government, communities, students and parents.
