The calculation and analysis of the per capita operating cost of higher education has always been controversial. Who should account for the cost of education, the administrative department of education or the university itself? At present, both of them lack authority and social recognition. For a long time, there has been a saying that the current student charging standard only accounts for a quarter of the average student cost, and the average student cost is about 1.8 million yuan. For this neglected measurement, the school may think it is not enough and the parents think it is too high. What is the basis? If it is as simple as dividing the expenditure of colleges and universities by the number of students to get an average, then there is no scientometrics.
Globally, the tuition fees of higher education are on the rise in recent years. However, the cost growth rate in China is quite high. Of course, a low base is a factor. However, compared with the national income level, it cannot be said that the growth is unacceptable. In the past two years, the fees have not increased, which has alleviated or weakened the pressure on parents. It is very important to re-approve the university tuition standard, whether it is high or low, and how to evaluate it. At present, it is possible to start these tasks, but it is not easy to finish them in a short time. Because the average cost of each student is different from the production cost of products, the production cost of a single enterprise is higher than the average social cost, and the enterprise may go bankrupt. The average social cost is finally formed by exchanging products in the market to realize their value and use value. The average cost per student should also be a socialized and socially recognized cost concept and category. The comparison between schools, or between different types of schools, is formed by social understanding. At present, we still lack such a basic platform for comparison and analysis. Both theoretical guidance and practical exploration lack credibility and authority. In my opinion, the current evaluation system of various indicators of higher education cannot guarantee the authenticity, comparability and objectivity of school information, the prices of educational resources between regions are not comparable, and the differences in the quality of educational services provided by schools cannot be compared. If it is only the current evaluation standard, the historical cost of existing educational equipment, the teacher-student ratio, etc. It has been proved that those universities with high quality and low price can only continue to mislead children and will not be eliminated in the competition. Mr. Dong Guo not only cheated an emperor, but also ignored the interests of scholars and used the intangible resources of national higher education to seek local and personal interests. This is the most terrible.
