Study on the Intramunicipal Inequality in Financing Basic Education in Shanghai (2001-2006)
Overview & Synopsis
Comparative analyses of basic education financing among districts and counties within Shanghai municipality show that basic education in the developed city is as fiscally unequal as it is in other provincial administrative areas. But the tendency to expand education disparities in Shanghai has been reversed since 2005 owing to the education imbalance between the suburban districts, and Chongming county has been partially equalized. This study suggests that the municipal government needs more public expenditure on basic education to minimize the intramunicipal education inequity. (Contains 7 tables and 1 note.)
