Most people's understanding of the balanced development of education stays at a simple level, such as the relative balance of the allocation of school hardware, software and teachers' resources, the balance between all levels and types of education in the field of education, and the balanced development between all stages of education. However, it ignores the dynamic balance process of material level, system level and consciousness level, and takes human development and the realization of human free and conscious existence as the starting point and destination. In this process, human nature is the first, there is no distinction between high and low, and it is equally important. Everyone's life should be respected. Therefore, all educational measures should treat everyone fairly.
2. The gap between urban and rural areas restricts educational equity.
Under the dual structure of urban-rural division, cities have gathered almost most social resources, and most peasant families have shown considerable difficulties in bearing the educational expenses of their children. In addition, due to the household registration system that divides urban and rural areas, farmers who flow into cities can't get the same rights and benefits as urban people, and their children are blocked out of schools by sponsorship fees, borrowing fees and school construction fees that far exceed their economic ability.
The educational system arrangement implemented by the state and the educational system of "urban inclination" and "graded school running and graded management" with total financial input make it impossible to guarantee rural education funds, which leads to the flow of high-quality educational resources from rural areas to cities and aggravates educational injustice.
3. Regional differences aggravate educational inequality.
Unbalanced regional economic development is the basic national condition of China's economic development. The difference of economic development leads to the difference of financial ability of local governments, and when the education funds are mainly borne by local governments, this will inevitably lead to the gap in the distribution of public education resources between regions. The growth of educational investment plays a very important role in ensuring the realization of educational equity.
4. The key educational system leads to inter-school differences.
The key school system has a long history. Although to a certain extent, the benefits of rapid training of talents have been realized, but this benefit was quickly eroded by the consequences of the increasingly fierce exam-oriented education. Especially, the emergence of a large number of model schools and schools that meet the standards has aggravated the imbalance and competition of primary and secondary education, the imbalance and inequality of educational resources, and even created a large number of model schools that fail to meet the standards, that is, "weak schools" and "garbage schools", which seriously damaged compulsory education.
