Abstract

This paper, based on the context of the urban-rural dual structure, explores the challenges and optimization paths of China’s integrated fiscal system for compulsory education. Through a comparative analysis of fiscal input mechanisms and resource allocation differences in representative regions of eastern and western China, the study identifies significant imbalances in funding, teacher composition, and equipment allocation between urban and rural compulsory education. The research proposes the following measures: enhancing the precision of central government transfer payments; strengthening the coordination capacity at the provincial level; innovating incentive mechanisms for teacher rotation; establishing a platform for shared urban-rural educational equipment. These strategies aim to shift the fiscal system from scale expansion to structural optimization and promote high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education.
