Implications for China of Developed Countries' Private Education Financial Input Policies

Abstract

Under the background of globalization and a knowledge-based economy, private education, as an important part of China's education system, plays a key role in expanding education supply and meeting diversified demands. Through comparative analysis, this study systematically analyzes the characteristics and operation mechanism of private education financial investment policies in developed countries and summarizes their successful experiences. The study finds that private education in China is currently facing challenges such as a shortage of funds and an imperfect financial investment mechanism, which constrain its high-quality development. In contrast, the United States, Japan, South Korea, and other developed countries have formed a more mature financial support system for private education, including legal protection, diversified input mechanisms, a performance evaluation system, and a social participation mode. Based on this, this paper proposes that China should improve the financial policy system of private education, including sound legal protection, optimizing the financial input model, establishing a performance evaluation mechanism, encouraging the participation of social capital, and granting private schools a moderate degree of autonomy to build a government-led, multifaceted and synergistic support pattern, and to promote the high-quality development of private education.
