As many other public goods, compulsory education is an arrangement of system, as the society develops to a certain stage. Now, compulsory education has became a non - exclusive, non - competitive national basic public goods. So no matter of urban or rural social members, all have the same fight to enjoy it. However, the urban and the rural compulsory education still has great differences, such as the per - capita investment funds, the condition for running schools, teachers resources and education results, etc. Since the compulsory education is a national basic public goods, so it should be mainly supplied by the government. However the current financial system hasmany problems, and the problem leads to the non - equilibrium configuration between the urban and rural compulsory education. Such as the fiscal decentralization system leads to local financial resources severely weakened; the unreasonable Financial expenditure structure leads to the shortage of financial education spending; Compulsory education financial investment system is incomplete; the transfer payment system is not perfected, etc. So, to realize the balanced development of urban and rural compulsory education in our country, we must reform the present financial decentralized management system, further perfect rural compulsory education financial transfer payment system and establish the relative manual - intensive nightmares education obligations management system.
