Private schools refer to schools or other educational institutions run by social organizations or individuals other than state institutions using non-state financial funds for the society according to law.
Private schools include private schools and private educational institutions that implement cultural education such as academic education, preschool education and self-study exams, as well as private schools and private educational institutions that implement vocational qualification training and vocational skills training.
Private schools and non-private schools distinguish the main body of running schools. Private schools have three obvious characteristics: 1. The sponsor is not a national institution; 2. The funds come from non-state-owned financial funds; 3. Running a school for the society means recruiting students and students for the society and serving unspecified groups and individual citizens, not just recruiting people from a certain group, enterprise, industry, system and specific groups as students or students. From the reality, the organizers of private schools mainly include: individual citizens, private enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households, collective economic organizations, state-owned enterprises, institutions and social groups. From the source of funds, there are personal self-financing, personal intellectual investment (no capital investment), personal and enterprise investment, fund-raising or shareholding, donation and so on. For a specific private school, the source of funds is not completely single, but a mixture of individual, collective and enterprise funds. At the same time, non-financial funds do not rule out the injection of state-owned assets.
