The so-called unfair education is mainly manifested in two aspects: First, the uneven distribution of educational resources. The eastern and western regions, towns and rural areas, central cities and remote areas are far from each other in terms of educational manpower, material resources and financial resources. Even in a city, the distribution of quality education resources is uneven. Second, people have unequal opportunities to receive education. Some children of floating population cannot enter urban primary and secondary schools; The national aid system has not yet covered ordinary high school education; The education level of disabled children is far behind that of ordinary children; Students in some areas have fewer opportunities to receive higher education; The admission scores of the same university in different provinces and cities vary greatly, and so on.

The first reason is the unbalanced economic development. Economic development is the foundation of social development. There is a gap in regional economic development, which leads to a gap in investment in education software and hardware construction, which leads to a gap in regional education development.

Second, the national financial investment in education is insufficient. At present, the national financial investment in education still cannot meet the needs of educational development, which seriously restricts the improvement of educational conditions and the expansion of educational resources, especially high-quality educational resources.

Third, the allocation of resources is unreasonable. With the imbalance of regional and urban-rural development, high-quality resources are further concentrated, which intensifies the imbalance of educational resources distribution.

Fourth, the education policy is unreasonable. The unfairness of admission scores and admission rates has prevented students in some small towns and rural areas from receiving equal education, artificially increasing the gap between urban and rural areas. The "orientation students", "day students" and "college entrance examination" in university enrollment are also the source of educational unfairness.

Fifth, the people's educational needs are growing day by day. With the progress of society and the development of the times, people pay more and more attention to education. At present, many families have only one child, and parents have great expectations for their children, hoping that they can "study hard", which will inevitably lead to the contradiction between the growing demand for quality education resources and the insufficient supply.

On the basis of in-depth analysis of these five reasons, seven "how to look at it" put forward ideas and countermeasures to promote educational equity:

First, do a good job in the balanced development of compulsory education and promote educational equity. In recent years, the Party and the government have successively issued and formulated Several Opinions on Further Promoting the Balanced Development of Compulsory Education, the Compulsory Education Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Outline of the National Medium-and Long-Term Education Reform and Development Plan (20 10-2020), requiring governments at all levels to shift the focus of compulsory education to balanced development.

The second is to solve the problem that it is difficult for migrant workers' children to go to school. From 200 1 to now, the Party and the government have issued documents to amend the Compulsory Education Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), which has greatly eased the problems of children of migrant workers. However, there are still some problems in some places, such as the "high threshold" for admission to public schools and the low quality of teaching for children of migrant workers. Therefore, it is necessary to further strengthen the responsibility of the inflow government and guarantee the rights of migrant workers' children to receive compulsory education; Give full play to the role of public schools as the main channel and accept as many children of migrant workers as possible; Support social forces to run schools, give support and guidance in terms of funds and teachers, and promote the improvement of the quality of running schools; We will promote the reform of the household registration system, relax the conditions for small and medium-sized towns to settle down, attract eligible migrant workers to become urban residents, and let their children truly enjoy the "treatment in the same city."

The third is to ensure that students from poor families can afford to go to school. "Don't let a child go to school because of family financial difficulties" is an important embodiment of educational fairness. In recent years, the Party and the government have continuously improved the financial aid policy system for students from poor families, and adopted a series of measures, such as expanding the scope of financial aid, raising the standard of self-help, implementing financial aid guarantee, mobilizing social forces, and so on, to ensure the basic right of every student to receive education.
