Who are rich? Who are poor?
----Nine universities’ 2016 final account of revenue and expenditure in Guangdong
A university’s level certainly can’t be judged by its funds, but funds plays an important role in a university’s development indeed.Which university got the most government financial appropriation in 2016? Which university had the most income in 2016? How much every universities spent on education in 2016? What story will Guangdong University of Foreign Studies(GDUFS), Sun Yat-sen University, South China Normal University, South China University of Technology, Shantou University(STU), Guangzhou University,South China Agricultural University and Southern Medical University, Shenzhen University’s 2016 final account of revenue and expenditure tell you?
Financial Appropriation
Shenzhen has developed very fast since China’s reform and opening up. Shenzhen’s GDP even was more than Guangzhou in 2016. As a university named by the city, Shenzhen University certainly should get more cares from Shenzhen. It got the most financial appropriation—24.02 hundred million in 2016. It accounts 77.6% for Shenzhen University’s total income. Sun Yat-sen University and South China University of Technology have the “Double First-rate “, “985” and “211” titles, its admissions score line ranks the first and second respectively in Guangdong. As the two most beautiful pearl in Guangdong’s universities, Sun Yat-sen University got 23.87 hundred million financial appropriation and South China University of Technology got 16.96 hundred million in 2016. The two universities’ financial appropriation was high,but only 33.7% of Sun Yat-sen University and 40% of South China University of Technology’s total income are from financial appropriation.
Although has the title “211”, Shantou University only got 3.97 hundred million financial appropriation in 2016.
A sentence says that Guangdong University of Foreign Studies is not “985” and “211”, GDUFS is GDUFS. GDUFS is not “985” or “211”, and it only got 4.72 hundred million financial appropriation.

Undertaking Income
Undertaking income is universities’ tuition and other auxiliary activities income. Guangdong University of Foreign Studies’ 51.6% of income was from undertaking. But Shenzhen University’s undertaking income only accounts 13.09% for total income.
If you take a look of financial appropriation and undertaking income together, you’ll find in Shantou University’s 2016 total income, only 58.46% came from financial appropriate and undertaking income. So where was the left 41.54% income come from?

Education Expenditure
Although Guangdong University of Foreign Studies’ total income was only 11.12 hundred million, but 99% of its expenditure was on education in 2016. What can you complain when a school pay so much heart on education. On contrary, Shenzhen University only spent 84.4% of total expenditure on education while other universities all are more than 90% in 2016.

Science and Technology Expenditure
Shenzhen University’s education expenditure was the lowest of the nine universities but its science and technology expenditure was the highest in 2016. Shenzhen is an innovation city; Shenzhen University certainly pays attention to science and technology search. Maybe because Guangdong University of Foreign studies is a language university, it spent the lowest in science and technology expenditure.

General Public Service Expenditure
General public service expenditure is for the university’s administration operation. Shenzhen University and Southern Medical University’s General public service expenditure were more than other universities a lot. Maybe the two university need to consider improving their administrative efficiency.


The End
Today China is on the peaceful rising road. Competition between countries in future will be on knowledge and professional people. University is a place of imparting knowledge and produce professional people. Chinese universities certainly will get more and more support from government. They will meet a good time for quick development.
Funds is an important support from government but not all universities will get it equally. Maybe universities with more funds support will develop faster and better. While with less funds support’s universities may left far behind.
