Abstract

In the current socio-economic development trend, the phenomenon of social stratification gradually affects China’s compulsory education and cannot reach the policy’s objectives. This paper reviews mainly on compulsory education policy’s development in the context of social stratification. This paper utilizes a literature review to explore different phenomena that arise from the object of compulsory education in urban and rural areas. Social stratification causes educational stratification; at the same time, compulsory education exacerbates social stratification, which is mainly caused by uneven levels of economic development. Alleviating stratification needs to satisfy educational resources and diverse educational performance. The rural to the urban enrollment “hukou” system and financial centralization needs to be updated in terms of the policy. While in humanistic care, scientific family education and the community of migrant children and left-behind children deserve wider recognition. Through these efforts to improve the urban-rural gap and maintain a virtuous cycle between cities, the original intent of China’s compulsory education policy can be gradually realized. The ultimate goal is to produce a virtual education environment where every child can have relatively equal access. Also, every family can experience less unaffordable stress of compulsory education.
