w88 casino News Network (Draft from the Principal’s Office)2008Year3month8日, at the invitation of Phoenix TV Chinese Channel, President Chen Zhunmin was a guest on the "One Tiger, One Talk" column, discussing with famous economist Mao Yushi and other scholars the issue of whether university tuition should be increased.
Recently on some forums, some scholars have suggested raising college tuition fees and then turning the increased tuition fees into scholarships, loans or grants for poor students to reduce the financial burden on poor students. During the discussion, Principal Chen believed that this suggestion was well-intentioned, but not feasible at an operational level. First of all, scholarships are awarded to students who study well, and students who study well are not necessarily poor students. Second, universities are not financial institutions. They cannot save the increased tuition fees and then lend them to students. The state has not given universities this function. Universities should specialize in skills and concentrate on providing education. Third, the operating costs of using the increased tuition fees to provide bursaries for poor students are too high. In contemporary China, there are about equal proportions of students from wealthy families, ordinary families and poor families10％、70%sum20%. For the latter two families, going to college for their children has become one of the biggest financial burdens; if their income does not increase, it will be difficult to afford higher tuition fees. Therefore, if the increased tuition fees are only used to provide financial aid to poor students, it will increase the burden on ordinary students (accounting for the total number70%) financial burden, I am afraid this is not the original intention of the proposer. In order to prevent ordinary students from increasing their financial burden after paying more tuition, the increased tuition should be returned to them in the form of grants. The operational cost of such a large-scale "price increase and then refund" is too great, so it is not advisable.
In order to reduce the financial burden of poor students, Principal Chen put forward four suggestions.First of all, the country must increase investment.Higher education is not only a private product, but also a public product. Higher education is not only a private investment and a family investment, but also an investment by a nation and a country. So individuals have to pay, and the country also has to pay. The Party Central Committee and the State Council have already made it clear that investment in education must be increased, and fiscal education funding must account for 1% of the gross national product4%. But over the years, this number has remained constant3%Wandering. To be realized as soon as possible4%This goal is to increase government investment in education (including higher education). In this way, individual students can pay less.
Second, improve taxation.There are some problems in the current tax system. For example, the starting point for personal income tax is too low, so that most of the extra taxes that the rich should pay fall on the general income, that is, the working class. In addition, there are not enough types of taxes, and many hidden incomes and asset incomes are not included in the scope of taxation. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the tax system, raise the threshold for personal income tax, and increase taxation on asset and other income, thereby increasing government revenue and giving it greater ability to increase investment in education.
Third, improve the student loan system.Due to low post-graduation income or dishonesty, the situation of college students not repaying their loans or even disappearing from the world was serious in the past few years. Many banks temporarily stopped student loans. Later, it was changed to a loan from the student's place of origin, and the situation improved greatly. In the future, further improvements should be made to make student loans play a greater role.
Finally, the universities should be fully loosened, and many responsibilities left over from the planned economy period that should not be borne by the universities should be released. This can reduce the cost of running a w88 casino and prevent tuition from rising due to inflation and other factors.
