The current situation of educational equity in Chongzhou City, Sichuan Province since China's reform and opening up
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Since China started its reform and opening-up, there has been progress in making education fairer. This study looks at Chongzhou City, Sichuan Province, to see the successes and problems of education fairness policies. It uses reviews of studies, policy analysis, and data to find key issues like unfair resource sharing, teacher movement, and gaps in education quality between cities and villages. Good changes include better rural school buildings, fewer dropouts, and teacher rotation programs. However, city schools still have more resources, better teaching, and better results for students than village schools. This shows there is still a need for focused plans. Suggested fixes are improving village schools, encouraging teachers to work in villages, giving more digital learning tools, and checking how policies are working. Fixing these problems in Chongzhou can help solve similar issues in other areas and support education fairness in China.
