Abstract:

Synchronous enrollment policy between public compulsory education schools and private compulsory education schools aims to solve the chaos of compulsory education enrollment and pursue the basic values of fairness, balance and inclusiveness of compulsory education. But at the same time, it also triggered disputes on multiple values such as fairness and efficiency, government and market, education and society. This social dispute reflects the game involving multiple stakeholders behind the enrollment policy. However, the uncertainty of policy implementation will bring many risks at the level of cognition, implementation and standardization. This study analyzes the interest adjustment and impact of policy implementation from the interest game between public and private schools, government and education functional departments, parents and students, education related industries and other different groups. By examining the governance logic of compulsory education policy, we construct a pluralistic and mutually beneficial public rationality of education governance. Based on the public welfare of compulsory education and respecting the market mechanism, the government intervenes moderately to prevent the potential risks of policy. In order to maximize the utility of compulsory education enrollment governance and maximize the internal value bearing of the policy, we can explore and improve the governance approach of compulsory education enrollment policy.

Key words: synchronous enrollment policy, compulsory education, social game theory, public rationality, education policy
