Reporter Observed Why The School District Housing Why So Expensive?

"Why is the school district room more and more expensive?" This is a famous problem on Internet in recent years.

In recent years, the price of school district housing has been steadily rising. Is the educational background synchronous?

According to the data of BOSS direct employment research institute, the average recruitment salary for fresh graduates in the spring recruitment season in 2020 was 5838 yuan, an increase of 4.1% over the same period in 2019. This is the result of the increase in job seekers and the decline in recruitment scale.

Historical data show that over the years, the average salary of graduates in China has been on the rise. Although there is always a case of "counterattack", a basic reality is that the average salary of PhD students is higher than that of master degree students, and that of master degree students is higher than that of undergraduates. At the same time, the average salaries of graduates from 985 and 211 schools are higher than those of ordinary college graduates.

This has prompted many students to choose to continue their studies, thus gaining greater competitiveness. In 2019, the number of college graduates in China reached 8 million 340 thousand, a record high. In the same year, the enrollment scale of graduate students in China was 2 million 850 thousand, and the enrollment scale was 720 thousand, which is also a record high.

From this perspective, the real reality is that high academic qualifications may no longer be scarce products, but the cost of obtaining high academic qualifications is increasing. Academic anxiety brought about by social competition is also increasing.

It is not difficult to understand why the heat of the school district has remained high.

The birth of school districts is the result of uneven distribution of high-quality educational resources. Over the years, this reality has always existed. Before the principle of "proximity to school" was established, most cities implemented "school choice". That is to select excellent graduates and concentrate on key schools with large investment, excellent running conditions and strong teachers.

Although school choice helps to centrally select talents, it is not conducive to educational equity, and it is easy to strengthen the orientation of exam oriented education, but also breed corruption. In the past, there were a lot of enrolment through various kinds of relationships in the process of rising young or small. In that era, many parents did not pay much for this.

Nearby schools can largely reduce rent seeking space, but in the short term, it is not easy to change the reality of the scarcity of quality education resources. As a result, many hidden costs become explicit and concentrated on the price of school districts.

The price increase of school districts is closely related to the urbanization process of our country.

In recent years, the process of urbanization in China has been accelerating, expanding the scope of the city, increasing the volume of the economy, and accelerating the flow of population. The scale of population is increasing, and the demand for educational resources is also increasing. Therefore, despite the great development of education in our country, the scarcity of quality education resources is more prominent than the increasing demand base.

In this process, the real estate market is also developing rapidly, and the housing prices in many cities have multiplied. Because of the irreplaceable value added, the price of the school district house is not only rising, but also at the highest point of the wave.

It can be seen that the high price of school districts is caused by multiple factors, and has a strong brand of the times.

Over the years, education reform has been advancing. As a system engineering related to the national economy and people's livelihood, there is still a long way to go to reach the goal. However, as far as the key factors affecting school district housing are concerned, achieving balanced and equitable distribution of educational resources has been an important goal.

Therefore, we have reason to have a long-term optimism about the cooling down of the school districts, but we should also see that this process is not smooth.
