Educational equity is a historical category, which has different meanings in different countries and historical periods. It is not only a reflection of social reality, but also a transcendence of social reality. It is the unity of social reality and educational ideal, and has specific historical significance, including its historical rationality and historical limitations.
The development of educational equity has certain relativity.
This is because there is no unlimited and complete absolute fairness in this world. It must depend on the existence of certain social conditions and be influenced by the development level of social productive forces and people's understanding of the concept of educational equity. Educational fairness in primitive society is a low-level fairness in which all members participate; In slave society and feudal society, education became a privilege and was restricted to a few people, and the children of working people rarely had the right and opportunity to receive formal education; Since the industrial society, education has gradually spread to the public, and people's understanding of educational fairness has gradually experienced fairness from the starting point, fairness in the process to fairness in the result. Therefore, educational equity is an eternal concept pursued by people, and it is also the direction and goal of human struggle.
Educational equity and educational efficiency are unified.
In the process of social modernization, fairness and efficiency are often in conflict. The development of education is also facing a similar dilemma. However, unlike the socio-economic field, this contradiction in the field of education has its particularity. Research shows that in the education stage, the goals of the two are highly coincident. That is, at different stages of development, the characteristics and emphasis of educational equity are different. In the early stage of development, the most important thing is to popularize education and ensure children's equal right to receive education. After the initial stage of education popularization, the pursuit is fair treatment and higher education quality in the education process, that is, the pursuit of education quality. Therefore, under the premise of equal educational rights, we should also go through a highly screened distributed education system and focus on the rationality of the economy, requiring that every student be treated equally in the process of resource allocation and teaching, so that they can enjoy equal education; At the same time, on the premise of recognizing individual differences and unbalanced development, we should provide different education for each child so that his personality can be fully developed. So as to finally ensure their fair treatment and education quality in the education process.
