Equal opportunities for citizens to receive education means that citizens have equal legal status in terms of rights and obligations to receive education, and are not treated unfairly because of differences in nationality, race, sex, occupation, property status and religious beliefs. The state helps and supports the development of education in ethnic minority areas and remote poverty-stricken areas, supports the development of education for the disabled, guarantees women's equal right to education, and provides various forms of financial assistance to students with financial difficulties, all of which embody the spirit of the principle of equal educational opportunities. At the same time, with the development of economy and society, the state will gradually improve the material conditions for citizens to receive education on an equal footing. Educated people enjoy equal rights to enter school, enter a higher school and get employment according to law. Educated people enjoy equal rights in many aspects of the education process, which are mainly manifested as follows: in terms of enrollment, all children who have reached the age of six, regardless of gender, nationality or race, have the right to receive compulsory education for a specified number of years, and enrollment can be postponed to the age of seven in areas where conditions are not available; In continuing education, every educated person who meets the statutory requirements has the opportunity to take the prescribed examination or evaluation. Through fair competition and merit-based admission, the admitted students have the right to enter first-class schools or other educational institutions to continue their education. At present and for a long time to come, the key point of implementing the principle of equal opportunities for citizens to receive education is to ensure the equal status of citizens in compulsory education and higher education, especially to solve the unequal educational opportunities caused by different property status and social status.
