I. Principles and objectives
(1) principles.
1 clear responsibilities, formulated in accordance with the law. According to the relevant legal requirements and the management system of "graded management, local priority, overall planning by the government and social participation" in secondary vocational education, the local government is the main body responsible for establishing and improving the per capita funding system for secondary vocational schools. The provincial level should make overall plans to promote the comprehensive establishment and improvement of the per capita funding system for public secondary vocational schools in this region. The central government guides all localities to establish and improve the per capita funding system for secondary vocational schools through the way of "replacing compensation with awards".
2 Multi-input and classified support. Adhere to government investment, give full play to the role of the market mechanism, actively guide social capital investment, and establish and improve a multi-input mechanism for the government, industries, enterprises and other social forces to raise funds according to law. On the basis of fairness, actively explore classified support, and implement differentiated funding for secondary vocational schools in different regions, different majors, different scales and different benefits to promote the overall improvement and sustainable development of school-running level.
3 Promote reform and highlight performance. Giving full play to the incentive-oriented role of financial funds, establishing and perfecting the per capita funding system in secondary vocational schools should be combined with promoting the innovation of talent training mode, adhering to the integration of production and education, school-enterprise cooperation, forming a mechanism of incentive compatibility, rewarding excellent students and supporting excellent students, and continuously improving the quality of talent training. To effectively improve the efficiency of the use of financial funds, establish and improve the per capita funding system in secondary vocational schools should be combined with strengthening performance management, and the performance concept and performance requirements should run through the whole process of the allocation and use of funds in secondary vocational education, reflecting the goal and result orientation, and accelerating the development of modern secondary vocational education.
(2) objectives.
By the end of 2016, all localities should establish and improve the per capita funding system for secondary vocational schools. In future years, we should actively take effective measures in combination with financial resources to continuously improve the level of per capita funding and gradually establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism for per capita funding standards.
By 2020, we will establish a diversified funding system for secondary vocational education that is compatible with the socialist market economic system and basically meets the needs of career development, and form a long-term funding mechanism with government input as the mainstay and the joint support of industries, enterprises and other social forces.
II. Scope and standards
(1) Scope.
All localities should establish and improve the per capita funding system for secondary vocational schools, which should cover all independent public secondary vocational schools (including general secondary schools, adult secondary schools, vocational high schools and technical schools) and secondary vocational classes affiliated to higher vocational colleges.
(2) standards.
All localities should, according to local economic and social development level, vocational education development planning, differences in professional running costs, financial situation and other factors, adjust measures to local conditions, scientifically and reasonably determine the average funding standard for secondary vocational schools (comprehensive quota standard or public funding quota standard), and gradually improve the funding level. At the same time, it is necessary to coordinate the per capita investment level of public secondary vocational schools and local private secondary vocational schools, as well as the per capita funding level of public higher vocational colleges.
In the process of establishing and perfecting the per capita funding system for secondary vocational schools, all localities should, on the basis of optimizing the distribution of secondary vocational education resources, comprehensively consider the factors such as the size of students and the cost of running a professional school, effectively embody the reform and performance orientation, implement differentiated per capita funding for secondary vocational schools, and promote the connotation development of secondary vocational schools. It is necessary to prevent problems such as eating from the same big pot and blindly expanding enrollment. It is necessary to tilt to schools with great reform, good school-running benefits, high employment quality and close cooperation between schools and enterprises, to schools with high management level, to majors that are urgently needed for local industrial transformation and upgrading, and to majors in hard industries such as agriculture, forestry, water, mineral oil, etc., so as to guide secondary vocational schools to rationally locate and run their own characteristics and levels.
Third, the job requirements
(1) Strengthen organizational leadership. The provincial finance, education, human resources and social security departments should implement their duties, improve their working mechanisms, and jointly promote the establishment and improvement of the per capita funding system for secondary vocational schools. Provinces that have not yet established an appropriation system should be introduced before the end of 2016. Provinces that have established an appropriation system should further improve relevant policies and measures, continuously improve the input level, and gradually establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism for the per capita appropriation standard. State-owned enterprises holding secondary vocational schools can refer to the per capita funding standards of public secondary vocational schools where the schools are located, and establish and improve the per capita funding system of their secondary vocational schools.
(2) Strengthen overall planning at the provincial level. Provincial education, human resources, social security and finance departments should further plan the allocation of secondary vocational education resources in the region and optimize the layout of secondary vocational schools. On this basis, establish and improve the per capita funding system for secondary vocational schools in the province, clarify the responsibility of sharing funds, increase the transfer payment to difficult areas within the jurisdiction, urge and guide the cities and counties that host secondary vocational schools, and implement the funds needed for per capita funding. Strengthen the management and support of private secondary vocational schools, formulate and improve relevant policies, and explore ways to encourage social forces to participate in organizing secondary vocational education through government subsidies and purchasing services, so as to promote the development of private secondary vocational education.
(3) Promoting reform and innovation. All localities should actively promote secondary vocational schools to change their school-running concepts, reasonably determine their school-running orientation, adjust and set up their majors, strengthen connotation construction, reform the talent training mode, actively promote the institutionalization and institutionalization of school-enterprise cooperation, and put the concept of integration of production and education into all aspects of talent training, so as to vigorously promote the reform and innovation of secondary vocational education.
(4) Conduct performance evaluation. All localities should actively explore the establishment of performance evaluation mechanism for the use of funds in secondary vocational education, formulate performance evaluation management methods, scientifically and rationally design evaluation index system, carry out performance evaluation work in a down-to-earth manner, make full use of evaluation results, adjust and improve policies and measures to support the reform and development of secondary vocational schools, and continuously improve the performance of fund use.
(5) Strengthen management and supervision. All localities should give full play to the role of modern information technology, further strengthen basic management, and ensure that the information such as the number of students is true and accurate. It is necessary to strengthen the management, supervision and inspection of the use of funds for secondary vocational education, urge subordinate secondary vocational schools to strictly implement the financial system of primary and secondary schools and the accounting system of primary and secondary schools, improve the management system for the use of funds, strengthen budget constraints, increase information disclosure, and actively cooperate with auditing and supervision departments to carry out relevant inspections.
