An Empirical Analysis on Urban-rural Disparity of Compulsory Education Resource Allocation in Guangxi

Abstract

In this paper, the situation of compulsory education resource allocation in Guangxi, China at the end of 2019 was empirically analyzed by selecting relevant indicator systems and using descriptive statistical analysis and analysis of variance. The main characteristics of the urban-rural disparity of compulsory education resource allocation in Guangxi were explored. From the statistical data, Guangxi has basically achieved the goal of realizing the basic balanced development of compulsory education between urban areas and counties & cities. However, the disparity of compulsory education resource allocation between elementary schools in Guangxi is still relatively serious. The continuous inflow of rural population to urban areas, the shrinkage and disappearance of rural schools, and the expansion of urban schools in counties and towns have led to the new characteristics of urban-rural disparity in compulsory education resource allocation in Guangxi, which must be observed with a new perspective. In the study, compulsory education resource allocation in districts and counties in Guangxi is suggested according to the target of urbanization rate of the resident population in each district and county in the future.
