Raise school efficiency

Removing bureaucracy from the school system is the key to the current education reform to make schools efficient so they can cultivate talent needed for economic development and social progress.

Bureaucracy in the management of schools at various levels from both governments and within schools will nullify any measure to inject life into the education system.

More government input into education, for example, has long been a public concern. The central government has promised that by 2012 expenditures in education will reach 4 percent of GDP, a goal first set a decade ago. But an even more important issue is whether the money that the government invests in education can be used in an efficient and sensible manner.
