At present, there are nearly 3,000 colleges and universities in China, which are distributed in 3 1 provinces and cities in the mainland. Due to the different scale, level and conditions of each school, the budgets of each university will vary greatly.
As the basic driving force for the development of colleges and universities, school funds play a vital role in scientific research, discipline construction, infrastructure construction and talent introduction, which directly affects the development of comprehensive strength of colleges and universities. Therefore, the annual budget of colleges and universities will attract everyone's attention.
The funding sources of China University are mainly divided into two parts. The first part comes from the appropriation of the Ministry of Education, and the second part comes from the financial support of local governments. The former basically corresponds to subordinate universities, such as universities directly under the Ministry of Education and universities directly under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which are the most powerful universities in China, so they are directly under the management of the Ministry of Education.
Local government finance mainly supports provincial universities, including all "double non-"universities and some 2 1 1 engineering universities. The overall number is very large, so the funds allocated by each university will be very limited, which has also become an important factor restricting the development of local universities.
