According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the ratio of subsidies to the total income of private universities in 2014 has decreased by nearly 25 points compared to 3 years ago, and the ratio of school payments paid by students has increased by more than 7 points. I found out.At the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's meeting of experts on private school reform, there were a number of voices calling for a review of the subsidy system, saying that the financial base was becoming weaker.
According to the Ministry of Education, the ratio of school payments to the income of all private universities in 2014 was 76.3%, an increase of 25 points from 1989, 7.3 years ago.On the other hand, the ratio of subsidies is only 10.2%, which is 25 points lower than 2.8 years ago.
Looking at the ratio of ordinary expenses subsidies to ordinary expenses, it was 1980% at the peak in 29.5, but then gradually decreased, and in 2015 it fell below the 9.9% mark to 10%.Although the ordinary expenses of private universities have been gradually increasing over the past 10 years, the total amount of ordinary expenses subsidies has been on a slight downward trend, and it can be seen that the dependence on school payments has increased.
Regarding this point, the Council of Experts said, "Improving income and expenditure is the biggest issue for private universities. There are limits to spending reduction and collecting donations, and the amount of subsidies should be increased as ordinary expenses increase." It is necessary to increase the support itself and make the private school subsidy equal to that of the national and public schools. "
On the other hand, "First of all, the private university itself should try to raise the tuition fee in conjunction with the enhancement of scholarships, expand its own financial resources such as donations, and reduce spending, and it is better to proceed with discussions on private school subsidies after that." There was also a counterargument.
