This mainly contains two meanings:
1, the jurisdiction of the school is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, so the personnel appointment power of colleges and universities belongs to the Ministry of Education, and local governments and education departments do not have the personnel jurisdiction of these colleges and universities. So you can see, for example, Chongqing University and Southwest University in Chongqing, Sichuan University, Southwest Jiaotong University in Sichuan, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics and University of Electronic Science and Technology in Sichuan, Hunan University and Central South University in Hunan, and so on. They are all universities directly under the Ministry of Education, and their high-level appointment and removal rights are concentrated in the Ministry of Education.
2. The financial revenue and expenditure of the school belongs to the Ministry of Education, that is to say, the source of funds for universities directly under the Ministry of Education is the Ministry of Education's appropriation, not the local appropriation. Many netizens often confuse this concept in the discussion of the allocation of college entrance examination enrollment plan and the development of local education, saying that a province and city has raised such a famous university, but the number of enrollment plans is too small for the local area, and the funds should be reduced. In fact, the funds of these schools came mainly from the Ministry of Education at first, not from the local area. Of course, local governments can also cooperate with universities to provide some funds or other support and cooperate with each other in scientific research, local economy and various fields. This is a strategy that is very beneficial to the local economic development.
