Is education a service industry?
Education is a service industry. However, it is different from the general service industry. In the general business service industry, the main body of service is often the consumers themselves. For example, if you pay for a haircut, the barber must cut you according to the quality and quantity, otherwise it will be a breach of contract. But the education industry is different, such as nine-year primary and secondary education. Schools provide services, and consumers are not students, but national finance. The state repurchases the educational services of schools and gives them to school-age children nationwide free of charge. Its service attitude and service quality can only be evaluated by state departments. Instead of being evaluated by students, this is the particularity of education. Students are just recipients, not givers. This is also the reason why schools often lack degrees and can't enroll students at will, because local governments have to give schools a student fee for every degree they get. After the school develops, it will gradually sell services, not the government's education administration, that is, the tuition fees of students and the salaries of school teachers are now paid by the government. Not necessarily in the future. For schools with good teaching quality, the government can provide more funds, and schools will organize their own teaching staff. The salary will be drawn by the school itself and solved by itself. For schools with poor teaching quality, the government will provide relatively less funds, and the treatment of teachers will of course be less accordingly. So in the final analysis, the school is a special service industry, and the service units that focus on results and results are almost all countries. This is the representative of the policy of benefiting the people, but it will lead to a lot of people who can cope with teaching, teaching quality and salary, and then introduce competition, and full-time education administrators and managers begin to appear in the education industry.
