我国教育财政投入比例及与中低收入国家的比较

The Ratio of Education Fiscal in China and Comparison with Lower Middle Income Countries

教育投入比例是衡量一国政府对教育努力程度的主要指标，合理的教育财政投入比例是教育发展、经济增长的要保障。本文在辨析国际通用的教育财政统计指标之后，分析比较了我国从1991年到2005年的教育财政投入变化情况，并与世界上中低收入国家的平均状况相比较。结论认为：预算内教育经费指针是与国际接轨的统计口径；长期以来我国教育财政投入比例一直很低，且低于世界同类国家公共教育经费支出的平均水平；应切实提高我国教育投入比例，尽早实现财政性教育经费占GDP 4%的目标。

The proportion of public investment in education is the major indicator to evaluate a government’s efforts to develop education. A reasonable proportion is critical for the development of education and economy. Based on international analysis of current indicators， authors compare the fiscal ratios of investment in Chinese education from 1991 to 2004 with those of the lower middle income countries. The conclusion is that the indicator of budgetary funds is in accord with the international indicator. Our fiscal ratio of investment in education has been keeping very low in long period， even below the average ratio of the developing countries. It is necessary to make some efforts to increase our fiscal ratio of investment in education to 4% of GDP.
