在精准扶贫的背景下,国家对教育方面的财政投入不断增加,但是学术界关于学校资源和学生学业表现关系的研究还未得到一致结论。学校支出是学校资源中一个重要的方面,但是关于学校层面的支出和学生学业表现关系的研究较少。基于西部贫困农村地区94所小学数据的实证研究结果发现:学校层面关于学生和教师方面的支出仅占12%,关于学校行政方面的支出较多,高达72%,但是学生和教师方面("软件"方面)的支出和学生的学业表现呈正相关,学校行政方面("硬件"方面)的支出和学生的学业表现呈负相关。因此,应该调整学校层面支出的结构,增加学生和教师方面("软件"方面)的支出,减少学校行政方面("硬件"方面)的支出,以更有利于学生学业表现的提高。
As a means to alleviate poverty, the Chinese government has been investing in education by increasing financial resources for schools. However, scholarship on the relationship between school resources and student academic performance has not reached a consensus. This study examines the relationship between school-level expenditures, a key aspect of school resources, and student academic performance Using data collected in 94 rural primary school in designated poverty areas of western rural China, the empirical study found that school expenditures on students and teachers account for only 12% of total expenditures, while expenditures on school administration is as high as 72%. Expenditures on students and teachers ("software") is positively correlated with student academic performance. However, expenditures on school administration ("hardware") were negatively correlated with academic performance. These findings have strong implications for the structure of school spending and rural education.
