1, different organizers

State-owned universities are universities funded by the national government or local governments, which is what we usually call public government-run universities, rather than universities sponsored by private bosses and social enterprises. Literally, private universities are universities sponsored by enterprises, social organizations and individual citizens (private bosses). Without government financial support, the school is responsible for its own profits and losses.

2. The direct purpose of running a school is different.

Although the fundamental purpose of running private universities and public universities is to educate people and train talents for the country. However, the direct purpose of running a school is different. The main body of private colleges and universities is enterprises, and enterprises pursue profits, which determines that private colleges and universities will pay more attention to economic benefits when running schools.

3. The construction level of teaching staff is different.

Generally speaking, the construction level of teachers in private colleges and universities lags behind that of public colleges and universities, and its development is relatively slow. In particular, the vast majority of teachers in private universities have no formal career establishment, and the mobility of teachers is relatively large, which further widens the gap between the construction level of teachers in private universities and public universities.

What's the difference between state-owned universities and private universities?

1, ownership

State-owned universities are under the overall responsibility of the government or relevant government agencies, and the funds are mainly allocated by the government and financially supported. Private universities are owned and managed by private or non-governmental organizations, and they mainly rely on self-financing, donations and tuition fees to maintain their operations.

2. Management style

The management system of state-owned universities is relatively more stable and mature, and is usually directly managed and supervised by relevant government agencies. The management mode of private universities is relatively flexible. Generally, the school affairs Committee or the board of directors is responsible for school affairs decision-making and operation management.

3. Tuition and registration

Tuition fees in public universities are generally low because their main funds come from government grants and financial support. The tuition fees of private universities are higher because they need to rely on the tuition fees paid by students to maintain their operations. In addition, in terms of enrollment, the enrollment plans of state-owned universities are uniformly planned and controlled by the government, while private universities have greater autonomy in determining enrollment plans.

4. Characteristics of running a school

State-owned universities usually have a long history, rich educational resources and many disciplines and scientific research platforms. Private universities are generally young and may have their own characteristics and advantages in some fields.
