I have it in Chinese: I found it on the BBC Chinese website:

Funding sources and regulations

Department for Education and Skills (Department for Education and Skills)

England Regional education policy is formulated by the UK Secretary of State for Education. The responsibilities of the Department of Education and Skills are as follows:

Provide national education services

Train teachers

Maintain teaching standards

Supervise syllabuses and School examinations

In addition, the Department of Education and Skills also needs to oversee the reform of England's education system and funding structure.

Local Education Authorities

Each local council in the UK has its own local education authorities, which are responsible for managing and allocating school funds. However, since the British government prefers to let schools directly control education funding, local education management agencies play more of a strategic decision-maker rather than a specific operator in school management.

The responsibilities of local education management agencies can be divided into 5 parts:

Strategic management, including fund allocation, internal audit, and payment of expenses such as production holidays;

< p> Grants funding for class size reductions and programs such as the New Opportunities Fund, a gaming fund to support new developments in specialized sports or music;

Allocate funds to meet the learning needs of students with special educational needs;

Help schools maintain and update infrastructure when schools lack funds;

Develop local education systems framework so that students can learn according to it. Such work includes covering the costs of applying for admission and appeals, providing counseling services to parents of students who have been refused admission to a school, providing student transportation services, providing education welfare services, and reviewing eligibility for free school meals.

School education funds

Local education management agencies generally have two budgets, namely the school budget and the local education management agency budget.

School budgets mainly include the expenses required for student learning, while LEA budgets are closely linked to the responsibilities and functions of local education management agencies. The budgets of local education authorities include programs for adult education and training.

When a school uses up its school budget, the local education authority allocates additional funds to the school. The school board will have the authority to decide how to spend the additional funds.

In fact, although the local education management agency has the ability to provide services including catering, security, cleaning and information technology to the school, the school has the right to choose other suppliers with more favorable prices and better services. .

School Governing Body

All public schools have their own governing boards. The committee is composed of the principal, classroom teachers, parent representatives, representatives appointed by the local education board and members of the local community. The main responsibilities of the committee include:

Teaching management

School discipline

Personnel changes

School building maintenance

Enrollment Management

In fact, the specific matters of school management are still solely responsible for the principals of each school. The functions of the school management committee are more focused on formulating macro development strategies, implementing the improvement suggestions put forward in the supervision report, and reporting the progress of various tasks to parents in a timely manner.

Sources of funding for schools in poor areas

The so-called "Education Action Zones" refer to schools located in relatively backward areas of the UK. These schools work with local education management agencies, parents, business groups and other community organizations to improve their teaching standards. In addition, Education Action regional organizations will receive an annual grant of ￡500,000 for five consecutive years.

School Assessment

The Independent Office for Standards in Education

The Office for Standards in Education (ofsted) is an independent school inspection officer A regulatory agency formed by the Ministry of Education, independent of the government. Its main function is to conduct regular reviews of the quality of education in all state schools and to summarize the results achieved by the schools.

Ofsted's responsibilities also include the review and supervision of adult education services, local authority children's services, teacher training institutions and some independent schools. Since 2001, Ofsted has also been responsible for the regulation and management of education and infant care for all young people aged 16 to 19.

Ranking table

Based on the performance of each school in the Advanced Secondary Level Examination (A-level), Secondary School Associate Level Examination (AS-level) and General Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (GCSE) The British government publishes a ranking list of schools in England every year to introduce the teaching and operating status of each school to the public.
