Abstract

In current China, rural women face more barriers to education than men. To achieve gender equity in education, this study reviews the differences in educational expectations, school opportunities, and educational attainment between rural men and women in China from both perspectives of family and society. The educational expectations of women are low, including their personal academic expectations and those of their parents and society. Moreover, women also possess fewer educational opportunities than men. Last but not least, from compulsory education to high school education and higher education, women are at a disadvantage in educational attainment.
