Abstract

In the past decades, China has experienced explosive economic growth; however, unbalanced urban-rural development also brings serious educational inequality. Educational inequality does not only have negative impacts on the economy, such as leading to fewer educated workers, but also has bad social impacts, such as causing an increase in juvenile delinquency. Although enormous empirical studies have confirmed the negative impacts of urban-rural disparities on educational opportunities, educational processes and educational outcomes, few scholars provided a systematic framework to incorporate all evidence. Thus, this article reviews 30 scholarly journals to summarize how urban-rural disparities affect educational equity in China from 2012 to 2022. It concludes that urban-rural disparities affect educational equity by school education, family education and social context. In addition, we provide several practical recommendations for policymakers to diminish educational inequality.
