中国各级政府按2010年国家中长期教育发展改革规划纲要的要求，正在积极为大幅增加教育投入做准备。按要求指出的: “提高国家财政性教育经费支出占国内生产总值比例，2012年达到4%”。要达到这一目标，全国财政用于教育的支出，需要从2010年开始的三年内增加1.3万亿元。
根据教育部之前公布的数据，2009年财政性教育经费为12231亿元，比2008年增长17.05%，占GDP的3.59%。
然而，自1992年至2007年的统计显示，中国国家财政性教育经费已呈逐年上涨的趋势，平均年增长率为16.66%。具体来说，1992年国家财政性教育经费为7287506万元；1997年为18625416万元；2002年为34914048万元；2007年升至82802142万元，占07年GDP的3.35%。
按其中经费的构成来看，1998年国家财政性教育经费占了总体的68%；事业收入占22%；社会捐赠经费为5%；其他教育经费为4%；以及社会团体经费占1%。
而到了2002年，国家财政性教育经费占了64%；事业收入占27%；其他教育经费为4%；社会团体经费占3%；以及社会捐赠经费为2%.
2006年，国家财政性教育经费为65%；事业收入占24%；社会团体经费为6%；其他教育经费为4%；社会捐赠占1%。
以这3年为例，我们看到国家财政性教育经费基本保持在66%。社会团体经费由原来的1%上升至6%，体现了中国教育经费来源的多元化，但并不十分稳定。
现在，各级政府在2011年年初预算中明确规定，财政教育支出占财政总支出的比重要逐年提高。但是也有财政官员提醒：“在GDP总量小的城市，达到4%并不困难，但这指标并不能反映真实的教育服务水平，所以对这个百分比不能定得太死。”
In 2010, China's all levels of government were following the long-term requirements of Education Development and Reform Plan; they were actively preparing for a substantial increase in education investment. The Requirements pointed out that: "We need to increase the ratio of national fiscal education expenditure to GDP to reach 4% in 2012." In order to achieve this goal, the national fiscal expenditure on education will increase 1.3 trillion yuan in three years from 2010.
According to data released by the Ministry of Education, in 2009 education budget was 1223.1 billion yuan, increased 17.05% compared to 2008, accounted for 3.59% of GDP.
From 1992 to 2007, statistics showed that China's fiscal education budget had shown a yearly rising trend, the average annual growth rate was 16.66%. Specifically, our nation’s education budget was 72875060 thousand yuan in 1992; 186254160 thousand yuan in 1997; 349140480 thousand yuan in 2002; 828021420 thousand yuan, accounted for 3.35% in 2007 GDP.
From the expenditure’s composition, in 1998, the state fiscal education budget accounted for 68% in the total budget; undertaking revenue accounted for 22%; for the remaining budget, the percentage of community donation was 5%, other educational expenses was 4%, and community funding was 1%.
In 2002, the percentage of state fiscal education budget was 64%; undertaking revenue was 27%; other education expense was 4%; community funding was 3% and community donation was 2%.
In 2006, the percentage of state fiscal education budget was 65%; undertaking revenue was 24%; community funding was 6%, other education expense was 4% and community donations was 1%.
Taking these 3 years as examples, we see our state education budget remained around 66%. The good news was that the community funding rose from 1% to 6%; this reflected the diversification of our funding sources, but the funding was not very stable.
Now, all levels of government made clear stipulation in early 2011 that the education proportion in fiscal expenditure should increase year by year. But one financial official reminded us that: "In those cities with low GDP, it is not difficult to reach the 4% education proportion, but this index does not reflect the actual level of educational, so we cannot take this percentage too rigid."
