Mobility and Imbalance:Re-reflection on the Change of Population Structure and the Balance of Urban and Rural Compulsory Education:An Empirical Research Based on N City
The imbalance of urban and rural compulsory education resources is the core problem facing the current education field in China.Relevant studies mostly statically and isolated find the reasons from the resource allocation mode within the education system.Few scholars pay attention to the significance of the change of population distribution structure caused by population flow in the process of urbanization and industrialization.In this paper,N City in a central province is selected as a case study to analyze the influence mechanism of population flow factors on the imbalance of educational resources allocation.The results show that the source of students decreases sharply under the trend of urbanization,and the per student funding system is an important reason for the shortage of rural school funds.The structural shortage of rural teachers is caused by the motivation of teachers to go to the city and the establishment system of binding students.In the process of urbanization,the expansion of student resources and the resource allocation system related to household registration and student resources result in the crowding of teacher resources in urban areas.The mismatch between education system and population trend is the core logic of the imbalance in urban and rural education,which is reflected in the system of running school,recruitment,enrollment and resource allocation.The key to change the imbalance of education lies in the principle of education resource allocation should respect the reality of population structure change and make changes in specific system fields.
