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.
Meaning:
Compulsory education is the responsibility of the government, and non-compulsory education is mainly private and social investment. The governments of the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries attach great importance to the investment in compulsory education. More than 90% of the funds for compulsory education in the United States and Japan are provided by the government, and the Korean government also provides more than 80% of the funds for compulsory education. Compulsory education in China is in the consolidation period of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Compared with the investment structure of the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries in the same period, the proportion of compulsory education funds in the national budget in China is low.
In the stage of higher education, the proportion of social and private investment in the United States and Japan is above 50%, while that in South Korea is as high as 83.3%. China is a developing country with limited financial resources. We should refer to international experience, mobilize more social and private forces in the stage of non-compulsory education, promote the development of private education in China, and make it coexist with public education, thus forming a diversified school-running system.
Therefore, the overall key issues to be solved by the government are the evaluation and supervision of education quality and financing in education, rather than directly establishing educational institutions.
