Private schools refer to schools invested by private individuals or private institutions, approved by local governments and education departments, which combine education with government and pay more attention to efficiency.
Private schools are the combination of education and market, and more of them are to solve the problem of educational efficiency. In order to adapt to the shortage of regional talents and the development of regional economy, talents are always in short supply and need education and training, so private schools came into being. Relatively speaking, private schools have advantages that large-scale public schools do not have.
Drawing on the international experience of public education system reform, we will promote the reorganization of some public education resources in a standardized and orderly manner. At present, in some developed countries, there is a trend of mixing public and private education. Private schools receive public financial support from the government, and the boundaries between public schools and private schools tend to be blurred. Pure public schools and private schools tend to decrease, while mixed schools tend to increase.
There are two main modes of foreign public school system reform:
1, Singapore's "one school" policy. Since 1988, Singapore has implemented the system reform policy of "independent schools", which has promoted the system reform process of some high-quality public schools and turned them into "independent schools". The government continues to allocate financial education funds to schools, while allowing schools to collect fees, and schools implement relatively complete independent management.
2, the United States, Britain, Japan, Italy, Canada and other countries to implement the form of education vouchers. Its operation process is: the government scientifically calculates and distributes the national education funds, converts them into a certain number of securities (namely education vouchers) and sends them to each student. Parents can choose any school for their children, pay the equivalent tuition fee with the education vouchers in their hands, and bear the rest by themselves.
The school will exchange the education vouchers collected with the government's cash to pay for running the school. In addition, the government will no longer directly allocate funds to schools. In the past, giving up entering public primary and secondary schools meant giving up the welfare of compulsory education, but students and parents can still get government funding when choosing private schools.
