This essay uses the data of China Household Panel Research website of Peking University, this paper takes Tianjin and Beijing in Hebei Province as the observation areas. To explore whether targeted poverty alleviation has eliminated educational inequality in North China. This paper is divided into three parts: First, the first part of the paper introduces the main research directions of previous studies. It is found that the existing papers lack the research on gender inequality in education expenditure of poor families after precision poverty alleviation, and the hypothesis which has been verified in the later stage for the conclusion of the paper. The second part of the article is to model logit based on selected data in the database. The results show that gender inequality in education exists among the poor population in North China and it is not only for the poor population as a single group, it is universal. Finally, the paper uses the difference in difference test to examine the impact of the implementation of the precision poverty alleviation policy on the correlation between the education expenditure and income and saving of the poor population, and finds that the precision poverty alleviation policy promotes the education expenditure. Finally, it is concluded that gender discrimination does exist in North China. Targeted poverty alleviation has boosted education spending among the poor population, but it has not completely eliminated gender inequality.
