Abstract
Identifying and avoiding education rent-seeking is an important issue in improving the structure of education governance and establishing a modern education governance system. By using critical discourse analysis, his study attempts to explore rent-seeking within education powers under the separation system.“Collusion” is a new type of rent-seeking in education powers under the background of the separation of supervision, running and evaluation.Once it happens, it will bring serious hazards in governance.Moreover, collusion is overlooked easily.Previous research on education rent-seeking was mostly concentrated on rent-seeking of “monopoly power”; However, far too little attention has been paid to the rent-seeking of “union power” that may appear in the separation system of supervision, running and evaluation.Collusion is also known as conspiracy and complicity. The study found that the forms of collusion in education include the collusion between running and evaluation and the collusion between supervision and running.The“essence”of education collusion is to seek union rent in a more subtle form.Collusion in education may generate “potential hazards”of disrupting the cooperative order of honesty and trustworthiness, reducing the level of interaction and cooperation, gaining the short-term union but damaging the public interest ultimately, thus causing serious threats to the “benign interaction among supervision, running and evaluation”.
Highlights
One of the most important education reform events in China recently was the separation of government supervision, school running, and society evaluation, which was an important measure to deepen institutional reform in the field of education
How can we promote the separation of supervision, running and evaluation and what are the threats and problems that may be faced in the separation reform of education powers? In the pages that follow, it will be argued that the collusion within education powers in the separation of supervision, running and evaluation is a major obstacle to rationalize the relationship of government, school and society, and serious threats to the establishment of a benign interaction mechanism in these three powers
Just as the issue of collusion after the “separation of ownership and control” [10] in 1932 in the economic field was concerned, collusion inevitably arises due to the existence of the third party power from the beginning of the separation of supervision, running and evaluation in education
Summary
One of the most important education reform events in China recently was the separation of government supervision, school running, and society evaluation , which was an important measure to deepen institutional reform in the field of education. The separation reform of supervision, running and evaluation has entered a new stage of deepening reform from “why to separate” to “how to separate”. How can we promote the separation of supervision, running and evaluation and what are the threats and problems that may be faced in the separation reform of education powers? In the pages that follow, it will be argued that the collusion within education powers in the separation of supervision, running and evaluation is a major obstacle to rationalize the relationship of government, school and society, and serious threats to the establishment of a benign interaction mechanism in these three powers.
