教育是人一生中一个重要的组成部分。教育为人们带来知识,发现未知,并为人们创造一个更好的社会。中国和西方国家的教育,尤其是高等教育,经历了较长的发展历史。中国和西方国家的高等教育有着不同的特点。现今,人们普遍认为西方国家的高等教育比中国更加先进。然而,我们也注意到教育体系中存在的问题,尤其是高等教育。目前我们高校的融资渠道主要集中在银行,由于人民银行和银监会的政策对所有银行有着制约作用,导致学生直接贷款越来越困难,许多项目建设与设备采购计划陷入停顿。因此许多高校采取了与国内外融资公司和投资商合作的方式,把大量的资金投入到我国教育系统,以减轻当地教育部分及高校的经济压力。本篇论文主要意在阐述中国高等教育机构融资问题分析,同时,本文也将试图提出一些处理这个问题的方案。
