A Research On The High School Educational Investment In The Period Of New Guangxi Department

It is an undeniable fact that in China nowadays, there exists a polarization of economic structure and a widening of social differences. It is of practical meaning to make researches on successful examples of educational investment, to absorb historical wisdom and to seek a pattern of educational investment suitable for backward regions. Under the rule of me New Guangxi Department, Guangxi educational investment saw a great achievement, which surprised all the whole country at that time. But so far the research on educational investment in the period of New Guangxi Department is far from enough.This thesis makes a systemic research and analysis on the high school educational investment in the period of New Guangxi Department, seeks its historical regular patterns, summarizes its outstanding achievements and the reasons. The emphasis is on the history of the system of centralized high school educational investment and its regional reasonability. This thesis is composed of six parts: (1) A survey of high school educational investment in Guangxi in late Ming Dynasty and early twentieth Century; (2) A research on the historical changes in the system of high school educational investment in the period of New Guangxi Department; (3) An analysis of the raising and distribution structure of high school educational investment in the period of New Guangxi Department; (4) A probe into the disposition means of two educational resources (namely government and market resources) and the fairness and efficiency of educational investment in the period of New Guangxi Department; (5) the position and differences of high school educational investment in the period of New Guangxi Department; (6) the role of high school educational investment in the period of New Guangxi Department in the social development of Guangxi.Government educational investment is beneficial to a reasonable arrangement of the huge advance funds, to a solution of insufficiency of stored investment, and to a realization of balanced overall investment arrangements.

The two educational patterns should supplement each other with the mutual play of market regulation and plan adjustment.In the period of New Guangxi Department, the educational investment system of Guangxi iscentralized. In such a system, the government built an integrated educational finance, made decisionsconcerning educational investment, planned or intervened the high school educational investment. Meanwhile, the government loosened the limit on educational investment and permitted private investment into the educational market. This educational investment pattern was not usually seen at that time. For a new modern country, its government as an organized power is supposed to shoulder more responsibility...
