Education is related to people's livelihood and is closely related to every family; Education is related to the future and closely linked to the destiny of the country.

At present, what stage is the education development in China? What are the main problems facing education? How to solve educational problems through policy adjustment? How to promote fair and quality education? What is the direction and focus of future education reform? In view of these problems, at the 11th Beijing Yangtze River Education Forum held on the morning of March 3rd, experts from the education sector made suggestions and suggestions for promoting education equity and quality education.

Good quality is a higher level of fairness.

"At present, China's education has entered a new era, which is a new era of high-quality education development. This is a new historical orientation for the development of education in China. " At the forum, Zhou Hongyu, deputy to the National People's Congress, vice president of China Education Association, deputy director of the Standing Committee of Hubei Provincial People's Congress, president of Changjiang Education Research Institute and professor of Huazhong Normal University, issued the 20 18 Education Policy Proposal (hereinafter referred to as "Proposal") with the theme of "promoting the high-quality development of education and building an educational power". It is analyzed that the education work in the new era is to crack the people's growing demand for fairer and higher education.

According to the five development concepts of innovative development, coordinated development, green development, open development and shared development, and the fundamental requirements of high-quality development, the "Proposal" holds that the development of education has shifted from the stage of scale growth to the stage of high-quality development; To further improve the basic value orientation of China's education policy, we should take improving the quality of education and promoting education equity as the national basic education policy; We should establish a new development concept of "investing in people is investing in quality".

"We should pay attention to the quality of education, but the issue of fairness is far from being solved." Yang Dongping, member of the National Education Advisory Committee and president of 2 1 Century Education Research Institute, made a special mention of the current educational equity in China. He said that the problem of educational equity is not only reflected in the further widening gap between urban and rural areas and between regions in the process of modernization, but also in some basic problems that have long plagued education in China, such as the problem of rural students dropping out of school.

"There is no contradiction between promoting educational equity and improving the quality of education. Can't simply think of it as an antagonistic relationship. They are still unified. Good quality means higher fairness. " Zhou Hongyu said, "On the basis of continuing to promote the development of education, we should focus on solving the problem of insufficient and unbalanced education development, vigorously improve the quality and efficiency of education, better meet the growing educational needs of the people, and better promote the all-round development of students."

In this regard, according to the concept of coordinated development, the "Program" proposes to optimize the educational structure system, promote the coordinated development of urban and rural education, education in different regions and school education, promote the coordination of schools, families and society, and ensure the overall quality and balanced development of education.
