| Popis: | 92 For a long time, the per-pupil expenditure levels of compulsory education are difference among counties and cities. After the enforcement of Compilation and Management of Education Expenditure Act, the most important function of subsidy system is how the Central Government equalizes per-pupil expenditure among counties and cities, and subsidizes the poorest local government by means of subsidy system. The major purposes of this study are to establish a new general grant formula based on Compilation and Management of Education Expenditure Act and to find out whether the governments that are poorer in school finance can obtain more general grant on the basis of the new formula. Furthermore, the study also analyzes the effect of country region integration program on the improvement the per-pupil expenditure level. The result reveals that the governments that are poorer in school finance obtain more general grants than do others if applying the formula. However, the Chiayi city and Tainan city, the two poorest governments are small district and insufficient fiscal revenue, to cause per-pupil expenditure levels low. From country region integration analysis, the per-pupil expenditure level of the two cities can increase greatly. In other words, to achieve the goal of equalizing education opportunity, the subsidy system is not the only way. Integrating inter-school, reforming school administration, increasing education economies of scale, and improving school efficiency and effect are all also important subjects of equalizing education opportunity. |
