The subject of running a school, the source of funds, tuition fees and the nature of running a school are all different. The fundamental difference between private universities and public universities lies in the different nature of running schools. Public universities are funded and supported by the state, but the purpose of running public universities and private universities is to cultivate available talents for the socialist cause of the motherland.

Different sources of funds

Public schools are funded by the state, and most of the funds for running schools come from the government; Private schools, on the other hand, rely on self-financing and the funds for running schools mainly come from enterprises.

The nature of running a school is different

Private schools are run by private capital, and their legal representative is the largest shareholder; Public schools are funded by the state, and their legal person is the person who manages school assets on behalf of state organs.

Different leading bodies

Public colleges and universities implement the principal responsibility system under the leadership of the party Committee, and the party secretary has actually become the head of the school. Public primary and secondary schools and kindergartens are under the leadership of district and county education bureaus, and the principals are responsible, and the main leadership is in the hands of local education bureaus; Under the leadership of the board of directors, the principal is responsible for private schools, and the actual leadership is in the hands of major shareholders.

Different teaching resources

Because of China's public ownership system, public schools often get more teaching resources, while private schools are relatively limited. However, in some primary and secondary schools and kindergartens, due to their small scale and the attention of school operators, the conditions are often better than those of similar public schools, and of course the tuition fees are relatively high.
