Differential Equation Models for Education Charges of Universities in China and the Applications

Abstract EN

In recent years, with the expansion of university enrollment in China, the cost of running a school is getting higher and higher.

Under the circumstance of insufficient state investment in higher education, the education charge paid by students has become an important source of the university income.

It has become a hot topic of social concern to formulate a reasonable charging model to enable more students to enter higher education institutions.

In this paper, we mainly put forward the basic differential equation models describing the problem of higher education charges in China.

Through the qualitative analysis of these two basic models, we draw several conditions for universities to maintain or stabilize their education charges and give some suggestions on macrocontrol of university education charges in China.
