A institution named"Free combining with people's scholarship"was the starting point of the tuition institutional vicissitude of higher education since the People's Republic of China reformed and opened,Since then, college tuition system has experienced four periods. They are: the period of government paying, the period of reform brewing, the period of two-track and merger about the standard of tuition, and the period of balanced game between the present related stakeholders. College tuition system changed the tuitions in free plus people stipend into the education cost-sharing. From"Free combining with people's scholarship"to a sharp increase period in tuition we have experienced, the problem of tuition paid for higher education becomes a focus that we should pay more attention to. In that case research on the tuition institutional has strong pertinence and topicality.This dissertation tries to explain an educational problem, tuition, by economics theory.
