學生負擔知多少？－從班級層次看國小學生收費問題

我國的國民教育自民國五十七年起實施，採取義務教育與免納學費的方式，確保學齡內的國民，不論生理狀況或家庭背景為合，都能享有相同的教育機會。本文將討論班級經費收取的現象，並以高雄市幸福國小（化名）六年級學童之實際教育經費狀況為例，首先簡述國民教育之本質，再就國民小學的經費現況做討論，繼而從班級的層次看國小學生的收費問題，期能釐清問題產生之緣由，最後於文末提出相關建議。

The compulsory education has been implemented in Taiwan since 1968. To guarantee students can have the same educational chances, no matter their physiological state or family background, compulsory education is exempt from tuition. However, despite this, many elementary students still make ”under-the-table” payments to teachers. This paper will consider this phenomenon. This article is about the state of educational funds at the Happy Primary School of Kaohsiung (assumed name), specifically in grade six. First, the article sketches the essence of compulsory education, and then discusses the funding of the primary school. After that, it looks at the issue of funding at the class level, and finally, the article gives some suggestions for schools and the government at the end.
