Abstract

AbstractEducational equality is very important to the economic and social development of a country and region. This paper reviews the current situation of higher education development in China, studies the situation of unequal geographical distribution of higher education, demonstrates the evidence of regional inequality, and examines the regional differences in the rate of return to education. The results show that the rate of return to higher education in the eastern and middle region is generally lower than that in the western region. Possible solutions and countermeasures like government support, university autonomy tapping social resources, and universities’ autonomy to enhance satisfaction are proposed in the hope of solving the problem of regional inequality in the allocation of education resources in China.KeywordsHigher educationRegional distributionEducation equality
