In a major reform move, China is set to reshape its government-funded public institutions to improve public services.

The Chinese government issued blueprints for the reform that will affect more than 40 million staff members and retirees in some 1.26 million government-run public institutions across the country, according to experts familiar with the situation.

"It's a significant move in all aspects," said Wu Jiang, head of the Chinese Academy of Personnel Science, a think-tank under the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, during an interview with Xinhua.

He said the reform will facilitate China's efforts to forge a service-oriented government and improve the overall quality and quantity of public services.

Government-sponsored public institutions, including schools, research institutions, hospitals and publishing houses, are the backbone of public service providers across the country.

But some are paying more attention to profits and ignoring their official duties of offering quality services for public benefit. Some public institutions perform administrative functions and make use of their power of authority to raise revenues by imposing unnecessary fines.

Additionally, outdated organizational and management methods in some institutions have resulted in inefficiencies in public service and a waste of public resources.China, whose public service sector faces a widening gap between its unsatisfactory supply and an increasing demand, needs to improve the overall amount and efficiency level of public services by reforming government-run institutions, analysts say.

Wu said the reform reflects the government's resolution to address public complaint over a lack of access to public services, "like in fields of education and health care."

The general goal of the reform is to establish a system by the end of 2020, under which non-profit institutions will effectively operate to provide public services that people have equal access to, according to experts.

In the next five years, China plans to complete its transformation of public institutions that perform administrative functions into government agencies, while those conducting for-profit, commercial activities will be transformed into enterprises.

Government-run public institutions left after the restructuring will focus on providing public services in a wholly non-profit way. Meanwhile, the government will improve its oversight of these institutions.

For a long time, individuals recruited by public institutions usually have a "steel bowl." They can receive a regular salary and work at the institutions until their retirement, regardless of performance.

It will be a wholly different scenario after the reform.

"The staff members of public institutions will have no 'steel bowl' in the future, and their salaries will be determined according to their work results," Wu said. Besides financing public institutions, the government will also open the doors wider for social investment to run non-profit institutions, like nurseries, primary schools, clinics and hospitals, Wu said.

"Public service institutions, like schools and hospitals, were almost all government-run in the past. In the future, they will be run by the whole society under government regulations," he said.

Private schools, universities and hospitals have been increasing in China, but quite are still far from being popular options for people.

Most private institutions lack enough policy and financial support and can not afford to obtain advanced equipment and outstanding talent.

Wu said the reform of public institutions serves as a great chance for China to evolve into a completely new public service system. He expects the country to largely increase its support for privately-run, non-profit institutions.
