解析“教育的倒金字塔”之谜

Unravel the Mystery of “Inverted Educational Pyramid”

文献中印度"教育的倒金字塔"是指政府教育投资的一种畸形分配结构。1999年之前印度和其他发展中国家均没有出现过政府教育投资的倒金字塔结构。有关文献认为1999年之前印度出现过"教育的倒金字塔",这是一个错误。2009年印度的教育投资结构呈倒金字塔状,这是印度为快速扩大高等教育规模而增加高等教育投资的结果。对于经济发展水平较低的发展中国家来说,金字塔状的教育投资结构仍然可能是不合理的。经济和教育都获得高度发展的发达国家,政府教育投资可能呈倒金字塔结构,这是经济和教育发展的结果。

In the literature,"the inverted educational pyramid"refers to distorted allocation structure of government’sinvestment in education in India,which did not occur until 1999 in India and other developing countries.Literature has mistakenly identified that India saw the Inverted Pyramid of education before 1999.In 2009,the structure of investment in education in India exhibited a shape of inverted Pyramid,resulted from the country’s intention to rapidly expand higher education.For developing and under-developed countries,it is likely that a pyramid-shaped structure ofgovernment’s investment in education is suboptimal;while for advanced economies,investment in education can possibly be inverted-pyramid shaped,as an outcome of economic growth and education developmen.
