Abstract

The quality of basic education reflects a country’s development potential and sustainability. This paper constructs a fixed effect model to study the impact of government expenditure on education subsidies in eastern, central, and Western China on the quality of regional basic education. This paper finds that educational financial subsidies have obvious heterogeneity in the improvement of basic education quality between different regions, the improvement effect of the eastern region is relatively the least obvious, while the marginal utility of financial subsidies in the central region is the most significant, and the financial subsidies in the western region also have a positive impact, but the utility level is slightly lower than that in the central region. Combined with the economic and social development of various regions, this paper deeply discusses the specific causes of regional effect differences and puts forward relevant policy suggestions accordingly.
