Abstract
In light of China’s ongoing economic expansion, the problem of educational inequality in China is becoming more and more worrisome. Through the method of literature analysis, this paper analyzes the main existing problems and their causes from four aspects. The common problems raised by previous researchers find that the unequal development of urban and rural development seriously inhibits the development of educational equity, which further leads to regional educational inequality and the low education rate caused by backward thinking in urban and rural locations. From the four aspects, the issue with household registration is to blame for the growing divide between rural and urban development and the uneven distribution of resources has led to too many kinds of educational resources. In economically developed areas, the natural geographical environment has also restricted the development of some areas, resulting in a worrying educational environment. Rural women’s rights and interests are still unable to be protected and even difficult to receive education. Therefore, in the end, this paper also puts forward the corresponding solutions to these problems and the expectations for future development.
