The Reform of Educational Resource Allocation and the Equalization of the Public Service for Compulsory Education:Evidence from the Pilot Program for the Multi-School Dicing Policy in Beijing
The pilot program for the multi-school dicing policy(dicing-based student enrollment after a student's family chooses several schools in the area where the child's household registration or the family's property ownership is located)in Beijing has pushed forward the reform of educational resource allocation,and has exerted an important influence on the equalization of public service for compulsory education.This study,based on the pilot reform of District A in Beijing,the model for market competitions in housing properties near school districts,and the difference-in-differences method,analyzes the effect of the multi-school dicing policy on the effect of equalized public service for compulsory education,and explores the major factors affecting the practice of the policy.The research results show that the multi-school dicing policy has had a dual effect of equalization:enlarging the choices in high-quality education,and increasing the opportunities for high-quality education.The authors analyze the factors affecting the policy implementation from the perspectives of family features,the policy environment and the policy regulations,and find the following:First,a high level of parents'educational backgrounds brings a significant effect on the policy's educational equalization,and the choice of"preference for excellence"in family education determines the positive correlation between the effect of the policy and the change of the school's educational quality;second,in the school districts where high-quality schools gather,the policy's effect of equalization is weak;third,under the rule of"student enrollment according to the rule that the family dices for the opportunity of student enrollment among several schools after student enrollment at the time when the number of students registered according to each family's first choice fails to exceed the number of students to be enrolled according to a school's enrollment plan,"the insufficient quantity of students enrolled by high-quality schools further affects the effect of the policy;fourth,as a package policy to promote the equalization of public service for compulsory education,some policies are synergistically effective,such as those policies involving the reduction of burdens heaped on students by both schools and out-of-school tutoring institutions,concurrent student enrollment in public and private schools,and dicing-based student enrollment after a student's family chooses several schools in the area where the child's household registration or the family's property ownership is located.
