Abstract

 With the rapid development of higher education, a series of problems have appeared in recent years: some colleges are facing with the problems of enrollment difficulties, inefficient investment and weak sustainable development, and some colleges are even shutting down and closing down. Facing the increasing competitive pressure from  higher  education,  how  to  improve  investment  efficiency and how  to  enhance  risk  prevention  and control capacity of investment so as to achieve sustainable development have become the important problems for the government and researchers. By analyzing and discussing the investment and risk management of China’s  higher education, this study aims to improve and perfect the theory of China’s  higher education investment and risk management, and provide a quantitative analysis technique for investment decision-making and risk management technology of  higher education, to provide a reference for  the  government  to  formulate  policies  and  the    higher  education investors to make decisions.
