An Empirical Study of Digitalization and High-Quality Education Development in Western China from the Perspective of Panel Fixed Effects Model
The level of digitalization and high-quality education development in the western region from 2011-2021 was measured by constructing an indicator system for the level of digitalization and high-quality education development using the weighted RSR method to establish a fixed effect model to empirically ex-plore the relationship between digitalization and high-quality education development.The conclusions were that,(1)the level of digitalization in the western region has increased rapidly,and the digital comprehen-sive index has increased from 0.13 to 0.67 from 2013 to 2021.The average annual growth rate is 32.85%,but there was a significant regional gap,showing a trend of outward radiation from the central areas of the Western Triangle such as Chengdu Chongqing Shaanxi;(2)the comprehensive index of high-quality edu-cation in the western region has significantly increased,but the problem of regional education imbalance has become prominent;and(3)the level of digitalization has a significant positive impact on the high-quality development of education.The results are robust after conducting 2SLS and GMM estimates.Mean-while,some suggestions are proposed to promote the deep integration of digitalization and education,bridge the gap in regional education development,and promote the high-quality development of education throughout the region.
