| It is educational funds that play an important part in the development of educational courses. However, due to some causes, the educational finance history hasn't been given enough attention. And because of lacking historical reflection on this, many problems have been arising in education field. Consequently, China is in want of educational funds, and the educational structure is not perfect. Equal education opportunities and education disbursements are not provided to every concerned citizen. This research employs the principles of finance, from an angle of educational history, to explore the educational funds in China, and to roughly describe the sources, allocation and management of the educational funds. The author also focuses on deciphering the society's, especially the leaders' complex thoughts of the investment in education, and tries to expose the development tendency of the educational finance history. On the basis of that, the paper predicts the future educational financial policies in China.The thesis is divided into five parts.The Introduction. In this part the author explains why he chooses this research field. And the earlier research achievements in respect of the educational financial history are presented. Also, the author narrates the goals and the meanings of the research and the methods he tries to use as well.Chapter 1: The Development of The Management Constitution of Educational Funds. In this part, the author describes the vicissitudes of management constitution of the educational funds since 1949, from the angles both of the management system and the financial system.
