The main findings in this study are the followings. First, it can be said that the ratio of public funding on the educational revenue settlement of accounts was higher than that of private funding in the elementary and middle school level. Meanwhile, the ratio of private funding on the educational revenue settlement of accounts was higher than that of public funding in the high school level. Second, in the analysis of expenditure settlement of accounts by school level, the ratio of the operation cost on the total educational expenditure tended to increase in the higher level of school. On the other hand, the ratio of the client charged cost on the total educational expenditure tended to increase in the lower level of school. More importantly, the ratio of instructional cost on the total educational expenditure had to be increased to improve teaching and learning activities. Finally, we expect that the major policy suggestions would help enhance both effectiveness and efficiency of school accounting system for higher educational productivity.
