Abstract

This article studies the past papers regarding education inequality published in two decades and highlights the data resources, research methods, and essential conclusions. Education inequality in this context refers to the uneven distribution of education resources such as school funding, experienced teachers, and education technology. After reviewing 15 published pieces of literature, we noticed that in recent years, the nature of education inequality in China has shifted from gender to geographics (differences in coastal/inland regions) and eventually to urban-rural inequality. We investigated the most recent data on urban-rural education inequality to analyze - based on a timeline, the phenomenons occurring in the Chinese education systems. From such analysis, we would then provide our policy recommendations. At last, we give our policy recommendations regarding China’s formation mechanisms, arguing for regional teaching systems, increasing government spending on education, and an assessment system for urban and rural teaching quality.
