Abstract

In China, there is a high degree of consistency and overlap in most research on equity in higher education, mainly focusing on equitable access to higher education and the determinants of students’ educational achievement, such as individual socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. This article, however, focuses on the long-neglected issue of knowledge inequality in China’s higher education process. The history of American higher education demonstrates that the democratization of knowledge and curriculum is a necessary condition and an essential feature of the modern university, which has made an effective contribution to the equity in higher education. Therefore, knowledge and curriculum reform should be carried out in higher education in China to achieve the equity and quality of higher education.
