Research on the Influence of Agricultural and Forestry Colleges'Educational Expenditure Allocation on Talent Training Quality Under the Strategy of Building a Strong Agricultural Powerhouse
Enhancing the efficiency of educational spending and upgrading the caliber of talent cultivation in agriculture and forestry institutions is pivotal for accelerating the development of a robust agricultural sector.An analysis of panel data from 38 public agriculture and forestry colleges in China reveals that these institutions have a relatively low level of per-student expenditure,with a slow growth rate.Additionally,there are pronounced disparities among different types of colleges and across regions.There exists an"inverted U-shaped"nonlinear correlation between per-student educational expenditure and the quality of undergraduate education.The quality of undergraduates in agriculture and forestry colleges,as measured by external evaluations,peaks when per-student educational expenditure reaches 63,000 yuan.The beneficial impact of per-student educational expenditure on the quality of talent training is contingent,in part,on the optimization and harmonization of the expenditure allocation structure.When the proportion of personnel expenditure surpasses 43.1％,the incremental effect of per-student educational expenditure on talent training quality becomes markedly more significant.It is recommended to augment investment in agriculture and forestry higher education,progressively increase per-student educational expenditure,moderately raise the proportion of personnel expenditure,and enhance the efficiency of fund distribution through the implementation of government-supported agricultural talent training programs and the strategic allocation of scholarships and grants,thereby laying a sturdy foundation for a powerful agricultural sector.
