Rather than public funds. Public universities are universities established by the state. The state provides part of the funds for their establishment, and all funds come from state appropriations.

Tuition fees at public universities are subject to national regulations and are lower than those at private universities.

4. In terms of management methods: public universities are managed in an official manner, while private universities are managed in a refined and even military style, paying more attention to the management of student life.

5. In terms of teachers: Under normal circumstances, the teaching staff of private colleges and universities will be weaker, but this does not mean that the teachers are not good. Teachers in public universities usually have very rich experience and have higher requirements for candidates during recruitment. The Ministry of Education and the Education Bureau will mobilize outstanding teachers from time to time to teach in various universities, so the teaching force is stronger. Most teachers in private universities are on contract basis, with high mobility and unstable jobs. However, due to the corporate nature of private universities, teachers' performance is closely related to their work.
