Equal Opportunities for Quality Education

It is widely accepted that human resources are playing a very important part in Chinas economic growth. Education, which greatly affects the qualities of human resources, has undergone rapid developments in recent years.

Last year, China had more than 2 million graduates from colleges or universities, and another 3.5 million graduates from vocational schools.

Despite the great developments in education, in the era of reform, lawmakers exposes and criticized many problems in the developments of education , which trouble, if not anger, the public.

One of the most glaring problems is that in Chinas vast rural areas, even the most basic education is not available to some children. And elsewhere, even if they have access, the facilities available for them are still a far cry from those in cities.

Official statistics show that at the primary stage, there are a big number of rural students who drop out of school because they do not have the money to pay their tuition fees.

At college level, there have been some big increases in tuition fees over the last few years. So, some students from rural areas have also been forced to abandon their dreams.

China has a long tradition of valuing education and Chinese parents are willing to save each and every penny to support their childrens schooling. But in a nation of more than 1.3 billion people, upholding equal opportunities in the education sector is a discouraging task.

The central government is delicated to quickening the development of the cause, It will cancel rural school fees and offer the children in poverty-stricken areas financial support so they can all enjoy the equal education and complete the nine-year compulsory schooling programme.

The most important part of the issue lies in the amount of cash put into it. On the other hand, it is more than an issue of fiscal input财政收入. The unbalanced distribution of resources between rural and urban schools risks slowing down the future of Chinas vast rural areas, where two thirds of the population live.

Education is undoubtedly the long-term lifeline of citizens. Good education promotes more than personal well-being or the fulfillment of individual ambition. As individual ability grows, the nation will become stronger and more prosperous.

Equality in education is vital to the sustainability of our nations economic progress. It has a big impact on every citizens quality of life, so the government must do all it can to achieve this goal.
