Abstract

This paper uses macro-statistical data such as China Statistical Yearbook and China Education Statistical Yearbook to analyze basic education resources allocation from the perspective of educational investment and outcomes. The outcomes show that the narrowing of the gap between urban and rural students in per capita education investment is largely the result of rural students' self-selection through changing their household registration status, which cannot explain the promotion of fair allocation of educational resources between urban and rural areas. As can be seen from the indicators of educational outcomes, the competitiveness of rural students in obtaining higher-level educational opportunities is far lower than that of students in urban areas. The contradictions between urban and rural education resources allocation are concentrated in the secondary education period. Secondary education resources, especially the urban-rural disparity in the allocation of educational resources in senior high schools, have a significant impact on rural students' continuing education opportunities, and then affect the urban-rural disparity in higher education opportunities.
