In a positive sense, it is conducive to optimizing the allocation of educational resources, removing schools that teachers are unwilling to go to, and concentrating on running schools in counties and towns to improve the quality of all schools. It is easier to solve the problem of compulsory education for students in rural areas by merging schools than to run schools nearby and improve the education level of schools in rural areas as a whole.

The negative impact is also very prominent. On the one hand, these school-age children can only stay away from home and attend boarding schools. Although boarding school is not impossible, children's family education and personality education are also facing a series of new problems. If the government does not subsidize students' boarding fees and transportation expenses, boarding will also mean a heavier educational burden for rural children. On the other hand, the more serious problem is that after the merger of schools, the conditions for running schools are extremely difficult and overcrowded, and the quality of education has not been improved. Boarding students are far away from home to study, and they still get a low-quality education.
