Ensure that education funds will only increase year by year

National fiscal education expenditure accounts for GDP ratio generally not less than 4%

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country's education input has received unprecedented attention.郭鹏在会上透露，2021年，教育投入基数的基本格局是：总投入超过5万亿元，接近6万亿元；财政性超过4万亿元，接近5万亿元；一般公共预算超过3 trillion yuan, close to 4 trillion yuan; non -fiscality exceeds 1 trillion yuan.

Guo Peng emphasized that regardless of the financial situation, my country ensures that education funding will not decrease year by year, and at the same time, it also guarantees that the proportion of national fiscal education expenditures in GDP is generally not less than 4%.

"The continuous consolidation of 4%of the results has strongly supported my country's largest education system in the world, and effectively promoted the overall level of education in my country's overall development of education into the world." Guo Peng said.

Guo Peng pointed out that national fiscal education expenditure accounted for 4%of GDP, which is the first time in my country to achieve it in 2012 and consolidate for 10 consecutive years. It is worth mentioning that in the past ten years, the incremental investment in only 3 trillion yuan is increased, and an average of 300 billion yuan per year has been achieved.

Guo Peng said that in recent years, especially since the epidemic, the downward pressure on my country's economy has increased year by year, and the contradiction between fiscal revenue and expenditure is very prominent, but the financial investment in education has always insisted on increasing year by year. The cumulative expenditure of national fiscal education for ten years was 3.3.5 trillion yuan, an average annual increase of 9.4%, which was higher than the average annual nample increase (8.9%) and the average annual annual increase in the income of general public budgets (6.9%) during the same period.

"Although this percentage is high or low in different years, it has never been lower than 4%. The more important significance is that 4%drive the base of education input to continue to increase." Guo Peng said that whether it is total investment, fiscal or fiscal, The money used by general public budgets, non -finance and other channels has doubled for ten years.

Specifically, these "four doubles" are mainly reflected as:

The first double is "total investment". The total investment in education in the country was 2.4 trillion yuan in 2011, and in 2021 reached 5.8 trillion yuan, which was 2.4 times that of 2011, an average annual increase of 9.3%.

The second double is "fiscal." The national fiscal education funding, less than 1,200 billion yuan in 2011, reached 4.6 trillion yuan in 2021, 2.5 times that of 2011, an average annual increase of 9.4%.

The third double is "general public budget". The general public budget education expenditure in the country was 1.6 trillion yuan in 2011, reaching 3.7 trillion yuan in 2021, 2.3 times in 2011, an average annual increase of 8.8%.

The fourth double is "non -fiscal." Non -fiscal education funds in the country, less than 600 billion yuan in 2011, reached 1.2 trillion yuan in 2021, 2.3 times in 2011, an average annual increase of 8.6%.

While the total amount of education funding has doubled, the level of student average funding also achieves historic leapfrogging, and the level of financial protection has increased significantly.

Statistics show that in 2021, the average public budget education expenditure of the number of students in the country in 2021, 9506 yuan in kindergarten, 12,381 yuan for ordinary primary schools, 17,772 yuan for ordinary junior high schools, 18,809 yuan for ordinary high schools, 17095 yuan for secondary vocational schools, 22,586 yuan for ordinary colleges, 22,586 yuan. They were 3.3 times, 2.2 times, 2.4 times, 2.5 times, 2.1 times, and 1.5 times in 2011.

其中，幼儿园年均增长12.6%，在各教育阶段中增幅最高、增速最快；普通小学年均增长8.3%；普通初中年均增长8.9%；普通高中年均增长9.8%，增幅仅次于Kindergarten, the level of expenditure is second only to ordinary universities; secondary vocational schools have an average annual growth of 7.9%; although the average annual growth rate of ordinary universities is the lowest and 4.1%, the expenditure level is the highest, exceeding 20,000 yuan.

For large amounts of education investment, where did money be used?

Guo Peng said that the proportion of national fiscal education expenditures in my country's national fiscal education, with an average of 4.13%in ten years. Compared with the world's average of 4.9%of OECD countries, there is still a certain gap. It can only be said that the world has reached the world Average.

But looking at the level of investment, it depends on the national conditions, the background, and the results. Guo Peng pointed out that according to international experience data, national fiscal education expenditure accounted for the high and low ratio of GDP, which is directly related to fiscal revenue. Generally speaking, when a country's fiscal revenue accounts for 30%-40%, this ratio can reach more than 4%. my country's fiscal revenue accounts for GDP ratio for a long time lower than the world average. In 2012, it was less than 30%when achieving 4%targets for the first time in 2012.

Especially during the "Thirteenth Five -Year Plan" period, Guo Peng said that the downward pressure on my country's economy has increased year by year, and the impact of the new crown epidemic is impact. But in this context, my country still keeps 4%of the bottom line in ten years. In the second aspect, Guo Peng said that my country uses the world's average financial education input intensity to support the world's largest education system.

According to reports, my country has 290 million students and 18 million faculty members. The scale of education population is equivalent to the total population of the United States. It is the largest education system in the world.

In the past ten years, with the realization and consolidation of 4%goals, fiscal education invested more than 4 trillion yuan per year, which was a double it in 2011. It was nearly 500 times that of the beginning of reform and opening up in 1978. Guo Peng said: "my country has entered the historical stage of‘ big country to do strong education ’.”

Guo Peng introduced that in the past ten years, the incremental investment in only 3 trillion yuan, an average of 300 billion yuan per year.

Among them, teachers' salaries are required to be implemented by the "standard in this book" as an educational funding.

In the past ten years, my country has insisted on improving the wages and benefits of teachers as the "original" priority guarantee for fiscal education expenditures, and insisted on taking the average salary and income level of compulsory education teachers as the rearrack of the "not lower than the civil servant" legal requirements. Priority implementation.

It is reported that among various expenditures, the proportion of the expenditure of faculty staff is the highest. In 2021, it reached 61.6%, an increase of 12.9 percentage points from 2011, the maximum increase; an average annual increase of 12.1%, significantly higher than fiscal education funds In the average growth rate of expenditure, the focus of education expenditure gradually shifted from investing in things to more investors.
