Abstract: China's rapid economic development over the past 40 years has improved the overall quality of life of the population but has also brought about uneven distribution of resources. The problem of educational inequality under the conditions of uneven distribution of economic development is one of the main problems that China needs to solve. Solving the problem of educational inequality plays a positive role in social fairness, justice, and long-term stability. Based on the above background, this paper focuses on the development of education policies in recent decades, the gains and losses of education poverty alleviation, the causes of the "involutionary" competition in urban education, and the effectiveness of relevant policies. It is recommended to improve the allocation of educational resources further and invest appropriate resources in the construction of vocational and technical schools to match the current development vision of China's economy. This paper suggests that students from poor areas be allowed to study in economically developed areas to improve educational resources in poor areas in the short term. This paper also calls on the government to establish a long-term mechanism to promote the growth of the education industry and promote a positive cycle of educational development and economic development.
