"Investment in financial investment in education will not decrease year by year"

In the past ten years, Chinese education has achieved historic achievements, historic changes have undergone the attention and support of the whole society, and the increasing increase in education investment.

Guo Peng, director of the Finance Department of the Ministry of Education, said at the meeting that the investment in education in the new era has received unprecedented attention and has achieved unprecedented achievements. National fiscal education expenditures accounted for more than 4%for 10 consecutive years.

"The continuous consolidation of 4%of the results has effectively promoted the consolidation and improvement of government investment and multi -channel raising the education funding system, which strongly supports my country's largest education system in the world, and has effectively promoted the overall level of development of education in my country to enter the world into the world. The ranks of the middle and upper countries. "Guo Peng further stated 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. In the past ten years, especially since the epidemic, the downward pressure on my country's economic downlink 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 only year by year.

According to the reporter's meeting, the cumulative expenses of national fiscal education funds for ten years were 3.3.5 trillion yuan, an average annual increase of 9.4%, which was higher than the annual increase (8.9%) and the average annual increase in the annual income of general public budgets (6.9%). Essence Although this proportion 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. Whether it is total investment, or financial, general public budgets, non -finance and other channels for education, it has doubled in ten years.

Guo Peng introduced at the meeting that after ten years of hard work, the basic pattern of education investment base was: total investment exceeded 5 trillion yuan, close to 6 trillion yuan; The public budget exceeds 3 trillion yuan, close to 4 trillion yuan; non -fiscality exceeds 1 trillion yuan. The base is large, which means that the material foundation that guarantees the development of education is thicker. It can also be said that with the comprehensive completion of the well -off society in my country, the "family bottom" of education is also a well -off "family bottom."

The total investment in education in the country reached 5.8 trillion yuan from 2.4 trillion yuan in 2011 to 2021, with an increase of 3 trillion yuan, an average of 300 billion yuan per year. Where do these money use?

Guo Peng said that we always adhere to the reasonable structure is the greatest benefit, further adjusting and optimizing the structure of education funding. In general, it is "more than three and half": in education at all levels, more than half of them are used for compulsory education; in each expenditure, more than half of them are used for teachers' salaries; more than half of each region, more than half of them in the central and western regions. Specifically, the use of education funds, especially fiscal education, always adhere to the principle of "guaranteeing basic, supplementing shortcomings, promoting fairness, and quality", adhere to the goal orientation, problem -oriented, and add more fiscal education funds to weak links. , Tilting in poverty -stricken areas, focusing on solving the problem of imbalance in education development.

Guo Peng concluded, "It should be said that the ratio of 4%is not high, and the average decade is 4.13%. Compared with the world's average of 4.9%of OECD countries, we still have a certain gap. We can only have a certain gap. We can only have a certain gap. It has reached the world average level, which is also an input level that is compatible with the current stage of economic and social development, the level of development, and the state of financial resources.

Guo Peng summarized in three sentences, "my country has reached the world average fiscal education input level in the case where fiscal revenue accounts for GDP ratio is lower than the world average; With the world's largest educational system; my country gives full play to the government's investment -oriented and multi -channel raising education funding system advantages, and promotes the overall level of educational modernization to enter the ranks of the world. "

"In the past ten years, with the realization and consolidation of 4%targets, fiscal education has invested more than 4 trillion yuan per year, which has been doubled from 2011. It is nearly 500 times that of the beginning of reform and opening up. Entering the historical stage of the "Great Power Office Strong Education", "Guo Peng said.
