中国农村家庭在经济上处于不利地位,随着学校制度的改革,教育支出与支付能力相脱节。本文通过对我国西部某县某村的农村家庭住户进行调研,对农村家庭初中教育支出负担水平进行测算。发现农村家庭初中教育支出负担率较高,且低收入家庭户和中等收入家庭户的负担率最高。我们建议通过增加农民收入、增加地方政府基础教育投入等措施来降低农村家庭初中教育支出负担率,进而促进农村地区初中教育发展水平。 Rural families in China are economically disadvantaged, and with the reform of the school system, education spending is incompatible with capacity to pay. In this paper, a survey of rural households in a certain village in the western part of our country is conducted to calculate the level of education expenditure burden on junior middle school in rural families. Found that rural families have a higher burden on their lower-middle-school education spending, with the highest rates being borne by low-income households and middle-income households. We propose to reduce the burden of junior high school education in rural families by increasing the income of farmers and increasing the input of basic education by local governments so as to promote the development of junior high school education in rural areas.
