The Study On The Funding To Private Higher Education

The funding problem is not only one of the important factors about a university's survival and development, and seen from the macro angle, it is but also the bottleneck restricting higher education development. Especially for China's private higher education because of the narrow source of funding, they face many difficulties. These difficulties need be solved from practices and theories urgently. Deep reasons of funding should be found and multiplicative main bodies, modes and channels of funding should be constructed. This research chooses institution economics and third sector theory to analyze funds supply and demand; development's scale, structure, benefit and mechanism of the private higher education. And then finding the key to analyze and solve the funding problem is the mechanism movement and the institution supplies.Considering the factors influencing on funding, such as social economy, scientific and technical level, cultural feature, population scale, policy laws and regulations, market and higher education internal factor, the article is in view of the fact that the limited ability of Chinese government to invest , the donation difficulty, the tuition surplus and making a profit by investing education. The article also reveals the investment, the home education and governments' utility are profound influences on funding. After extracting a lot of experience and lessons from private education investment at ancient times and analyzing the funding to private higher education beyond the border of our country, it also proposes private higher education development's ideal localization in China.Under reviewing that private higher education is the important component, university shoulders the mission of creating knowledge, instructing knowledge, fostering talents and serving society, the researcher proposes four principles: "Who runs a school ,who disburses money; Who is educated ,who pays money; Who holds national income ,who shares; Who profits ,who pays money". Then we can form the basic structure to settle the private higher educational funds' scarce: to strengthen governmental input's responsibility and power, to inspire the whole social donation, to guide enterprise and personal investment, to rule and regulate private colleges' standard of tuition and behavior, to innovate the multi-channel funding, and to supply the institutions to guide the input behavior--input mechanism, and gradually to realize private higher education's self-accumulation and self-development.
