Abstract

This paper reviews the impact of a complex language Environment and education policy on education Quality in Guangdong Province. Chinese central government puts considerable value on the universal education quality in China. Guangdong is one of the best representative provinces in China, with its highest population and highest GDP contribution. Although Guangdong province spent a great portion of financial resources in response to central education policies, there are still many significant social barriers in the implementation stage. This paper first focused on investigating the linguistic landscape of Guangdong province and discussed how education quality is negatively impacted by this problem by using the social group of migrant children as a case study. By further assessing the financial distribution difference among Guangdong locals, and the current education policies at both central and provincial stages, this article points out that there are still crucial inequalities in education within Guangdong province. However, by combining with the analysis of the central long-term education policies, analyses could be made that the Chinese government highly focuses on the problem of linguistic variation and inequalities. In the long-term, policies will further build a universal language environment and education equality by regulating linguistic use in school, higher teacher’s professional requirements, and distribution problems in locals, bringing societal improvements in the future.
