西部地区教育投资形态与对策建议

The Configuration of Educational Input in Western Area and Policy Suggestions

作为教育投资比例衡量标志的财政性教育投资占国内生产总值的比例,西部地区过去15年都没有达到4%的目标,原因在于西部地区教育投资的增长率低于国内生产总值的增长率以及财政预算内教育经费支出在财政支出中所占比例偏低,同时,预算内教育经费拨款增长不能持续高于财政经常性收入的增长也是重要的因素。因此,必须发挥财政投入主渠道作用,加大中央对西部地区转移支付力度,以确保增加教育经费的各项法律的落实和目标的实现。

The proportion of fiscal educational investment in GDP, which is a measurement of educational input, has never achieved 4% in western area in the past 15 years. The reasons are as follows： Most important of all, the increase of education investment in western area is lower than that of GDP. In addition, the proportion of education funds expenditure in financial expenditure is somewhat low. Furthermore, the growing of education funds shouldn＇t constantly higher than that of financial regular income. Therefore, the function of financial investment as main channel must be brought into play, and the fiscal transfer to western region should be enlarged in order to guarantee the increase of education funds.
