Type: article
Abstract: The rapid economic and technological development in China induced by the "Reform and Opening Up" has posed significant challenges to education, highlighting the inequalities between urban and rural areas. This article delves into the significant educational inequalities between urban and rural areas in China, arising from disparities in facilities, teacher resources, and e-learning opportunities. The rural areas face significant educational challenges from the inequalities presented, as they cannot retain educational resources with high quality. Following, the article discusses the impact and poses improving suggestions for the education inequality problem from the students' aspect and society aspect. Then, it is shown that inequality causes mental health problems, poor learning performance, and hinders social-economic progress. The article suggests policy reforms and targeted programs to improve rural education, focusing on equitable resource distribution, teacher training, and mental health care. Bridging this gap is crucial for constructing a more equitable and inclusive educational landscape in China.
