Improving administrative efficiency is the core problem in administrative governance. This case study of quota allocation policy implementation in City A reveals that a set of education policy implementation and incentive mechanisms revolving around responsibility contracts and target evaluations has already taken shape, to guarantee effective policy implementation. However, these highly efficient policy implementation and incentive methods were established on the foundation of quantified policy goals, while nonmeasurable, nonperformance-based targets such as the goal of educational equality suffer the problem of ineffective incentive. Therefore, in pursuing the goal of educational equality, it is necessary to explore more possibilities for implementation and incentive of education policies.
