- Abstract
The development level of higher education is an important symbol of a country’s development level and potential. Whether the distribution of educational resources is relatively balanced and fair is an important issue. China’s educational reform and development has made remarkable achievements, but the distribution and allocation of higher education resources still need to be paid attention to. By using the quantitative research methods of information entropy and Theil index in information theory, this paper analyzes the present characteristics of Chinese higher education resources distribution. The results show that the distribution of Chinese higher education resources is unbalanced. Western development lags behind central and eastern regions. The gap among the west, the middle and the east is gradually decreasing, and the distribution of higher education resources is developing in a balanced and coordinated direction. It is suggested to use big data technology and information technology to promote education resource sharing, strengthen the construction of education information technology in less developed areas, boost education decision making, increase resource input, establish the resources integration and sharing system, so as to promote the further balanced development of higher education in China and let higher education benefits more people.
