Private schools have obvious characteristics: the organizers are not state institutions; The funds come from non-state-owned financial funds; Running a school for the society means recruiting students for the society and serving unspecified groups and individual citizens.
Instead of just recruiting people from a certain group, enterprise, industry, system or specific group as students or interns. 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.
