Abstract

Education is an important driving force for social development and human progress. Much work has been done to promote equity and development in education. The rapid development of the social economy has accelerated the pace of the development of education, but at the same time, the gap between urban and rural education has gradually increased. This paper mainly analyzes the reasons for the gap between urban and rural education in China:a)From the perspective of economic development, the unequal distribution of educational resources caused by the income gap between urban and rural areas has widened the gap between urban and rural education; b) From the dimension of cultural development, the gap between urban and rural cultural circles and traditional concepts affects the possibility of students in different areas to receive education, which also includes the reason for the cognition of gender inequality. To solve these problems, the article has provided several effective suggestions: a) Improve the quality of rural teachers, and pay attention to the most fundamental needs of rural teacher training; b) Set up the correct education concept, use the parent training, migrant workers return and other strategies to update the rural family education concept.
