Research on the Optimal Allocation of Education Funds for Local Universities in China

Abstract

This paper focuses on the allocation of educational resources and the funds of local colleges and universities, studies the adequacy and balance of the allocation of educational funds in local colleges and universities in China, and studies the current situation of the allocation of educational funds in local colleges and universities in China, ordinary colleges and universities in Jiangxi and C schools, with a view to clarifying the logic and policy motivation of the allocation of educational funds in local colleges and universities in China. By using the methods of literature study, investigation and comparative study, this paper reviews and combs the present situation of the allocation of education funds in local universities in China, and points out that there are some problems in the allocation of education funds in local universities in China, such as insufficient investment, single source and obvious differences among regions, schools, disciplines and majors. Combining the three theoretical bases of resource dependence theory, principal-agent theory and new institutionalism theory, this paper further discusses the deep-seated higher education resource allocation model, higher education market system and mechanism, and the financing of local colleges and universities. On the basis of comparing and drawing lessons from the experience of international higher education funds allocation, this paper gives some suggestions on optimizing the allocation of education funds for local universities in China from four aspects: system guarantee, institution construction, school-running system and funding system, project management and platform construction.
