Published on April 2025Educational equity is a crucial component of social fairness, and the urban-rural education disparity is a persistent socioeconomic issue that has garnered significant attention. This paper will conduct in-depth research and analysis from four aspects: the state, schools, communities, and families. It will explore the promoting role of national policies on educational achievements, analyze the role of teaching staff in students' development, and consider the influence of community environments and family atmospheres on students' growth based on existing literature and data. The research results show that the policy of allocating educational resources is biased towards urban areas, resulting in significant differences between urban and rural areas in terms of capital investment, teacher allocation standards, etc. Urban schools have abundant educational resources, can carry out diverse teaching activities, and provide multiple channels for continuing education. In contrast, rural schools are constrained by scarce resources, have a single curriculum, and find it difficult to promote quality education. At the same time, some rural families are limited by their economic conditions and educational concepts and provide relatively limited educational support for their children, further exacerbating the imbalance in urban and rural education development.
