十一、依法保证教育经费的“三个增长”，切实增加教育的有效投入
42．落实科教兴国战略，必须转变把教育投资作为消费性投资的观念，要切实把发展教育作为基础设施建设，把教育投资作为一种基础性的投资，千方百计增加教育投入。各级财政要认真落实已出台的筹措教育经费的各项法律规定和政策，特别是要保证做到《教育法》规定的教育经费的“三个增长”（即各级政府教育财政拨款的增长要高于同级财政经常性收入的增长，在校学生人均教育经费逐步增长，教师工资和学生人均公用经费逐步增长）。要按照《教育法》和《中国教育改革和发展纲要》的规定，逐步提高国家财政性教育经费占国民生产总值的比例，努力实现4%的目标。
逐步提高中央本级和省级财政支出中教育经费支出所占的比例。自1998年起，中央本级财政按同口径每年提高1个百分点，2000年，将此比例提高3个百分点左右，除按原有政策保留目前每年由中央安排的教育专项外，上述增量部分主要用于振兴行动计划中中央财政支持和资助的项目。同时，各省、自治区、直辖市财政支出中教育经费所占的比例，也应根据各地实际每年提高1～2个百分点。
认真贯彻《国务院办公厅转发财政部关于进一步做好教育科技经费预算安排和确保教师工资按时发放通知的通知》（国办发[1998]23号）的精神，从1998年起，各级财政每年超收部分和财政预算外收入，应按不低于年初确定的教育经费占财政支出的比例用于教育。
加强对城、乡教育费附加的征管工作，以确保足额征收并由教育行政部门商财政部门统筹安排使用。积极支持勤工俭学、校办产业的发展，并对其继续实行税收优惠政策。
在中国中小学幼儿教师奖励基金会的基础上，建立中华教育发展基金会，多渠道筹集教育经费。
43．加快高校筒子楼建设和危房的改造，争取到2000年基本解决高校青年教师住房困难。中央部委所属高校此项工程所需资金，中央财政予以专项支持，其余部分由学校及其主管部门分担，改造后的筒子楼作为高校的公寓和周转用房。
44．利用银行贷款，进一步加快中央部委高校的教职工住房建设。为解决高校教师住房困难、稳定高校教师队伍，在2000年前建设银行基础设施贷款中，安排一部分用于中央部委所属高校住房建设，以支持利用学校自用土地，加快新建“经济适用型”住房，资金不足部分，应多渠道筹措解决。同时，要继续加强中小学教师的“安居工程”的建设。
45．各级教育部门必须采取各种措施深化教育改革，完善拨款制度，精简机构和冗员，提高经费使用效益。同时，加强对教育经费的审计与监督。
十二、高举邓小平理论的伟大旗帜，加强高等学校党的建设和思想政治工作，把高等学校建设成为社会主义精神文明建设的重要阵地
46．高等学校的德育工作要以马列主义、毛泽东思想和邓小平理论为指导，按照江泽民同志对全国青年和大学生提出的坚持“学习科学文化与加强思想修养的统一、学习书本知识与投身社会实践的统一、实现自身价值与服务祖国人民的统一、树立远大理想与进行艰苦奋斗的统一”的要求，贯彻落实《中共中央关于进一步加强和改进学校德育工作的若干意见》，坚持社会主义办学方向，完善德育工作体系，教育引导学生坚定政治信念，加强思想修养，树立远大理想，投身社会实践，自觉艰苦奋斗，立志振兴中华，把培养“四有”新人的战略任务落到实处。
47．认真组织实施普通高等学校公共马克思主义理论课和思想品德课（简称“两课”）课程设置新方案，加快邓小平理论“进教材、进课堂、进学生头脑”工作的步伐，用邓小平理论武装大学生。要加强“两课”课程体系和教材建设的研究，把理论研究基地建设好。加强“两课”教师的培训工作，提高他们的政治和业务水平，提高思想理论教育的实效。
48．加强高等学校中华民族优秀传统教育和革命传统教育、人文科学教育和艺术教育，通过增设选修课、举办专题讲座和各种知识性、文艺性业余活动等多种方式，提高学生的文化素质。
49．加强高等学校的哲学社会科学研究。要在马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想和邓小平理论的指导下，紧密结合国民经济和社会发展的重大理论和实践问题组织研究，发挥高等学校“思想库”、“人才库”的优势。要进一步加大高校哲学社会科学研究的投入，设立理论研究和教学优秀成果奖，提高高等学校哲学社会科学的研究水平和参与重大决策的能力。
加强教育科学研究。要统筹规划，突出重点，促进研究成果向实际应用的转化，为教育宏观决策科学化、民主化服务，为教育改革和发展的实践服务，为繁荣教育科学服务。
50．高等学校党组织要切实加强党的建设，加强和改进党对思想政治工作的领导。要在党委的统一部署下，建立和完善校长及行政系统为主实施的德育管理体制，加强高等学校思想政治工作队伍的建设，使高等学校在社会主义精神文明建设，维护生动活泼、安定团结的政治局面中发挥重要作用。
