How to solve the problem of regional differences in education level

First, the overall description of regional differences in basic education in China

Since the reform and opening up, especially since the implementation of nine-year compulsory education, China's basic education construction has made remarkable achievements, but regional differences are still very obvious and regional problems are still outstanding. Generally speaking, the resources of basic education in eastern China are abundant, but the cost of basic education is too high because of the high degree of marketization. The resources of basic education in the central region are relatively insufficient. Due to the high population density and the large number of school-age children in the central region, there is still a big gap in basic education. The western region is the most backward area in the construction of basic education in China. No matter from the quantity, quality and enrollment rate of basic education resources, there is a big gap with the central and western regions. The reason also comes from the overall development level of the region and the overall attention of local residents to education. Therefore, combining with the outstanding problems existing in basic education in various regions, this paper deeply analyzes its influencing factors in order to point out the direction for the construction of basic education in various regions.

Second, the analysis of the influencing factors of regional differences in basic education in China

(A) Analysis of the reasons for the relative shortage of basic education resources in the central region

Since the reform and opening up, especially since the market capital was allowed to enter the field of basic education, the basic education resources in the central region have been obviously enriched, especially for many school-age children in urban areas. However, it must be pointed out that at this stage, the basic education resources in the central region are still relatively insufficient, mainly in the following aspects: First, the overall shortage of basic education resources. Statistics show that the number of newborn children in central China is huge every year, and the number of newborn children will further increase after the implementation of the comprehensive two-child policy. However, compared with the huge population, the current basic education resources in central China can only provide basic education for about 80% of school-age children. It is this gap in basic education resources that leads to the problem that some basic education institutions in central China are too large, which seriously affects the effect of basic education. Secondly, the quality of basic education is uneven and there is a shortage of high-quality basic education resources. At present, the quality of basic education in central China is quite different. High-quality basic education resources, such as high-quality teachers and high-quality basic education hardware environment are relatively concentrated, which makes it difficult for some basic education institutions to recruit students, and some basic education institutions have become the targets of many parents' choice. In recent years, it is not uncommon for parents to queue up for a few days to enter a good school.

(B) Analysis of the reasons for the high cost of basic education in the eastern region

The eastern region is a region with a relatively good overall level of basic education construction in China. Both basic education resources and enrollment rate are significantly higher than those in the central and western regions, but the eastern region also has the problem of high cost of basic education. With a large number of private capital entering the construction of basic education in China, on the one hand, it enriches the resources of basic education in China, but on the other hand, it also causes the basic education to be excessively influenced by the market. Many private basic education fees in the eastern region are relatively high, and high-quality basic education resources are even more difficult for ordinary families to afford. The so-called "high-priced high schools" frequently appear in society. The high cost of basic education makes many families flinch from basic education, and even if there are opportunities for basic education, it is difficult to afford the high cost of basic education. Although the price of public basic education institutions is relatively low, on the one hand, the number is limited and it is often difficult to fundamentally change the status quo. On the other hand, it is difficult for many public basic education institutions to compete with private basic education institutions in quality. Although the investment in basic education in the eastern region has been increasing since the implementation of the nine-year compulsory education, compared with the speed of economic development and private investment, the state's support for basic education, relevant policies and financial support are still insufficient, which leads to the high cost of basic education in the eastern region under the market-oriented mechanism.

(C) Analysis of the reasons for the overall backwardness of basic education resources in the western region

The western region and remote and backward areas are the most difficult areas for the development of basic education in China. First of all, because the western region is mostly in remote and backward areas, the overall economic development level of the region is backward, and the available funds for basic education are seriously insufficient. Secondly, because the western region is remote, it is difficult to attract high-quality teachers and education investment, so the construction of basic education resources lags behind. Secondly, the importance of basic education in the western region is generally insufficient, and many families still give priority to family-based child care; On the other hand, many western regions generally lack basic education resources, which is far from farmers' daily production and life, and many families cannot afford the related expenses of basic education. Even in some western regions where basic education resources are relatively developed, the present situation of basic education is not optimistic. Many basic education institutions do not have relevant qualifications, and the knowledge level, professionalism and legal knowledge of employees are difficult to meet the relevant national requirements. Especially in the remote and backward western regions such as the central and western regions, the present situation of basic education is not optimistic. Compared with the central and eastern regions, the construction of basic education in the western region of China still needs to be strengthened.

Third, the conclusion

Developing basic education is an inevitable requirement for the liberation of production in modern society, and it is also a livelihood construction related to people's daily life under the current national conditions in China. Although China's basic education has made some gratifying achievements, we should still face up to the regional problems in our basic education and promote its development.
