Abstract

Education is the foundation of social development, which has also been a common concern of various countries and societies. Since 1999, the Chinese government has been expanding the number of colleges and universities and providing new resources for higher education to reduce its difficulty for people to receive higher education. However, due to the imbalance of regional development and various other factors, students in rural areas have been affected by their desire to receive higher education. In addition to family factors, gender issues, the lack of educational resources and low teaching standards in rural areas are also factors that hinder students’ access to higher education. This paper examines the situation of higher education in rural areas of China from three aspects: family environment, gender inequality, and education and teaching, by reviewing a large amount of literature and combining previous research results. After reviewing previous work, this paper will inspire future researchers to pay more attention to the equality of higher education in rural areas of China.
