  • Abstract
    Based on the fairness and benefits of the opportunity to accept higher education, tuition should be paid. The average cost of higher education and the ability of tuition paid which are determined by the average income are two fundamental basics for making the standard of tuition. In order to research the standard of tuition, the paper focuses on two issues: What is the acceptable range of tuition for higher education in China? How much is the reasonable tuition for higher education in China? Then we establish a multiple linear regression model on the basis of the reasonable assumption. Using the Eviews Software, we get that the range of average tuition is [4674.4, 7516.1]. Then we make a sensitivity analysis on the state funding and got the conclusions. Tuition all over our country colleges and universities are reasonable, and that the average tuition is negatively correlated to the state funding to some extent. Through the conclusions, we obtain that the state funding accounted for 25% in training costs of students. If the state funding rises by 250 yuan, the average tuition will decrease by 238 yuan.
