教育成本分担探析

我国非义务教育阶段的教育成本分担(教育收费)问题,一直是社会和百姓关注的焦点。教育成本分担是教育产业性的必然产物,是解决旺盛教育需求的必须之举。但是,在社会主义初级阶段,教育成本分担应该以政府为主、个人(或家庭)为辅。人们对教育成本分担机制并没有大的异议,而是对国家财政性教育经费长期投入不足和学校收费标准偏高存在许多希望和批评。各级政府及其决策者应按照“三个代表”重要思想,按照国际“通例”和本国实际,科学合理地确定国家和个人(或家庭)的教育成本分担比例,并通过立法予以保障。

Educational Cost Sharing

In the preliminary stage of socialism,it is generally agreed that cost of non-compulsory education should be shared by the government for the major part and by the individual of the family for the minor.But the sustained inefficiency of educational expenditure by the government and the excessively high charges by educational institutions has been the target of criticism and complaint.A fair division of the educational cost shares between the government and the individual should be made into laws and implemented.
