The thought of overall urban and rural development was first proposed in the report of the 16th National Congress of the CPC, and it is an important content of the Scientific Outlook on Development. It was proposed in the Decision of the Third Plenary Session of the 16th National Congress of CPC that the market economy should be based on the requirements of five characteristics, i.e. urban and rural development, regional development, economic and social development, harmonious between man and nature and arrangement between domestic and opening up. The urban and rural education is an important content of urban and rural development, which is both the reorganization of the social public resources, and also the reconstruction of human resources. Overall urban and rural education means that it is required to realize the equal arrangement far as possible in the planning of urban and rural education, external input of education condition, effective allocation of education resources, and the power guarantee of ability construction and the system support of policy measures. In West China, there is an outstanding conflict of urban-rural dual structure that cities drive the large urban areas and industry drives large-scale agriculture. Therefore, it is the top importance for the rural and urban education to improve the quality of urban teachers and shorten the education gap between the rural and urban areas. Making efforts to construct a high-quality and professional team of teachers is an important strategic measures to realize the urban and rural in West China.
