Education is the cornerstone of the development of a country and even the whole society, and the uneven distribution of educational resources often leads to unequal education.
In China, there is an obvious uneven distribution of educational resources between different regions, resulting in a huge gap between urban and rural educational resources.
In large cities, overcrowding in schools abounds due to dense populations.
Parents are choosing to buy houses in big cities so that their children can attend better schools in order to get a better education for their children.
This has also led to the full number of classes in schools in big cities, and the educational resources are obviously skewed towards big cities.
In contrast, rural schools in remote areas have a shortage of teachers and a sparse number of students.
This has led to a serious waste and lag of educational resources, so that more and more children have lost their fair rights in the uneven distribution of educational resources.
Prestigious schools have always been the dream of many students and parents, but the pressure of admission to prestigious schools should not be underestimated.
Shanghai Jiao Tong University, for example, has a large number of admissions, and nearly 20% of local students are admitted through the Trinity Comprehensive Evaluation.
Such data has sparked controversy in society, and parents and students have felt the huge pressure to admit to prestigious schools.
This raises questions about the territoriality and equity of access to higher education.
In the education system, quality education is promoted, but examination-oriented education still occupies a dominant position.
Discussions on the reform of the college entrance examination and the fairness of comprehensive assessments are becoming more and more intense.
Many parents and students are concerned about whether students everywhere can enjoy equitable educational resources.
This is no longer just a question of educational equity, but also a question of social equity.
The uneven distribution of educational resources, the high pressure of admission to elite schools, and the issue of educational equity have become the focus of social attention.
In the field of education, we need more reforms to ensure that every child can enjoy equitable educational resources, so that education can truly become a force for the development of social equity.
