As a new interdisciplinary subject, how should education economy and management be positioned? Education economy and management discipline construction. The discipline of educational economics and management was merged into the discipline of educational economics and management on 1997, which belongs to the first-class discipline of public management and was formally implemented on 1998. From its establishment to today, the discipline of educational economic management has developed very rapidly in the fields of education, economy and management, and achieved remarkable results. The discipline of educational economics and management is a new comprehensive interdisciplinary subject based on pedagogy, educational economics, educational management and other disciplines, drawing lessons from the phenomena in related research fields of economics and management, and applying it to the study of economic phenomena in the field of education.

Predicament and present situation of the discipline construction of educational economy and management: At present, the discipline of educational economy and management has the problem of weak scientific independence, which is embodied in the position of the discipline. First, the discipline does not come from the basis of two or more disciplines, but through mandatory command channels, the discipline personnel are gathered together to become a major, so the independence of the discipline is not strong. Second, the subject of educational economics and management covers pedagogy, management and economics, all of which have their own research contents, systems and norms. After it is integrated into the discipline of educational economics and management, there are some problems, such as unfeasible constraints and insufficient internal mechanism of discipline interaction and communication, so it develops into a discipline. Finally, the discipline of educational economics and management is relatively independent of the two disciplines, and it is a new discipline formed after integration. It belongs to public management learning. For two disciplines, the development of the discipline is always influenced and restricted by the first-class discipline of public administration, so the discipline independence is not strong.
