Financiación mediante tarifas estatales ("Taximeter funding"
Explanation:

The reform reduced the number of individual educational programmes by more than two thirds, delegated authority to individual colleges, and Introduced the "taximeter" system of financing. The *taximeter system* within the IVT sector is generally an input-related funding mechanism. It implies that the size of the state grant for a given vocational college is determined by the number of full-time equivalent students who initiate a semester at the college, multiplied by a "taximeter" rate per student. This rate varies depending on the type and cost of the specific course in question, and is determined by the Ministry of Education. Groups of courses are each assigned a taximeter rate, which is published in the Bill of Finance.
(...)
The Act also introduced the "taximeter" system* of financing, whereby college grants are determined on the basis of the number of students multiplied by a particular rate according to the individual training programme.
(...)
The student normally receives a study grant (SU) from the state, and the educational institutions providing the programme receive a state-financed taximeter rate per student.
(...)
The taximeter principle* is a method of measuring educational activity based on the number of students. Every student-year (a student-year is counted as a student who has received education at a college for 40 weeks) triggers a certain subsidy rate, which is determined in the Bill of Finance.
(...)
The state activity-related subsidies, which cover the direct educational expenses, or the "education taximeter", are subsidies that include teachers’ wages, other wages, teaching materials and other equipment related to the education

Lo que he entendido es que se trata de un sistema de financiación, en el que el estado proporciona dinero a las escuelas superiores según el "taximeter funding system". En este sistema de financiación existe un "taximeter rate per student", que varía según el tipo y el coste de los cursos que desea realizar cada estudiante, y lo fija el ministerio de Educación. Pues bien, el dinero que aporta el Estado en forma de becas o ayudas es igual al número de estudiantes por su "taximeter per student".

Yo introduciría una traducción en la que se explique el término, y dejaría en inglés "taximeter funding". Creo que se podrían utilizar varias soluciones. Lo primero que se me ha ocurrido ha sido: Financiación mediante tarifas estatales ("taximeter funding"), aunque supongo que se puede mejorar dependiendo del contexto.


Mira en la página web. Encontrarás más información si buscas "taximeter system", "taximeter funding", "taximeter rate", etc.

Espero que ayude de algo.
