August 7, UNESCO "to promote the balanced development of education to enhance the internationalization of education level" meeting in Chengdu, at the release of "2011: Chengdu compulsory monitoring of the total inter-balanced report" shows that in 2010 the district of Chengdu compulsory education in cities and counties the average balanced index was 0.41, a number of monitoring indicators matched urban and rural schools, rural schools than urban schools in some indicators.

Compulsory education to improve balance.

In recent years local governments to actively implement a balanced education, but there are no national standards for the evaluation, drawing on United Nations Development Programme in Chengdu for the first time on the human development index is calculated to quantify the balance of education index, the index report released by three balanced education large items, small items of 14 quantitative indicators in the country for the first time standardized evaluation.

Chengdu Bureau of Education released under the "Inter-balanced Chengdu compulsory monitoring report (2011)," stage of compulsory education in Chengdu, 838 public schools of the monitoring results show that a balanced level of Chengdu in the region continued to improve compulsory education, compulsory education Schools generally good balance, the difference between compulsory education in rural and urban schools continued to narrow to protect the school children of migrant farmers remarkable achievements. Chengdu compulsory education indicators for monitoring inter-balanced, one school funding, and second, schools, school conditions, third, teacher allocation, four schools of education quality.

The report shows that 471 urban and rural areas of Chengdu Primary Leaving Examination pass rate of one general, six-year retention rate of primary, secondary and higher proportion of teachers in English class at full rate index is roughly equal, both in budget spending for health expenditures, student area, building area per student, student-teacher ratio of several indicators, strong rural primary school in the city. 231 urban and rural middle school, the average number of class sizes, student-teacher ratio, in English class at full rate index is roughly equal; rural junior middle school in the city's strong indicators: three-year junior high school retention rate, student spending for the budget expenditures, student area, students are building area.

Configure multiple educational resources.

Chengdu Bureau of Education released under the "Chengdu Education Development Annual Report (2011)," Statistics, 1099, Chengdu, there are primary and secondary schools, kindergartens, 1691, 42 colleges and universities (including four municipal colleges and universities). Chengdu, a total of 156 primary and secondary students in the school people, 29.5 million children in the garden, colleges and universities this, 58.9 million students in college, graduate 6.2 million people. 106,000 primary and secondary school faculty.

Chengdu balanced development of education using a variety of ways the allocation of resources, including increased education funding, the focus to rural areas, urban and rural school conditions standardized, distributed implementation to adjust the layout of the school and school infrastructure. Implementation of urban and rural bundle, education, group development, promote balanced development of educational content.



Educational resources caused by the powerful squeeze hard into the elite of rural students.

"The more background the bottom, the worse the school", this trend is being intensified and solidified. Three decades, the country's transformation continues, but the fate of the underlying individual transformation, but in gradually to a halt. Peking University Tsinghua University and other key survey found that Chinese universities since the 1990s the proportion of rural students from slipping. North proportion of rural students drop from three percent to one percent, Tsinghua University 2010 only 17 percent of rural students.

Class curing, quietly became a regrettable trend. To break the puzzle, education, especially higher education, is the responsibility. University students has been low-level channel for upward mobility. Batch after batch of farmers' children, to take toward the hope of recognition, into the city. But now, for some rural students, the elite's dream of becoming increasingly blurred.

Getting low "proportion", not only that the fate of the individual transformation of frustration, more tolerant social attitudes mean shaken. One interested in urbanized, promote the general welfare of the place, actually inadvertently offend the underlying interests of the people. Jump three decades of economic miracle continue three decades, why rural students will be getting-loved three years? Than their predecessors, they were not necessarily lazy slack, even more hard work, but it is always difficult to replicate before the "elite fairy tale."

Yes, all this is not the fault of rural students. But three decades, some educational resources for the power diverted to rural schools was gradually reduced to rare corners of concern. This co-created the tragedy of rural students. On the one hand, the strong rise of private education, and continues to attract a lot of quality resources within the system. And in view of its high fees, rural students naturally missed Stock Watch; the other hand, the integration of public education out of order, so-called key high school, super secondary schools, with its monopoly advantage to rural schools are far behind.

Over time, urban and rural, rich kids and poor family, after no longer in the same starting line. Once the loss of fair competition, one of them is bound to interest Guadan. If the existing structure does not change, for the foreseeable future, the rural children is difficult not only consider the impact of sub-elite, enthusiasm and passion are bound to disappear. That time, dwarfing universities as "urban club", a mobility of the door was severely crucified. Followed, the digestion of group cohesion, social rift delayed bridge. Even more direct consequence is that many talented people not to come to the fore, some mediocre, but to master the future.

Concerned about the elite in the proportion of rural students is to focus on specific social space and a fair degree of openness. According to population base, taking into account the rapid progress the children of poor family desire, Tsinghua University, Beijing less than two percent of rural students repeat itself strange. Some potential barriers, blocking the road in rural post-graduate students; there are many talented group of incompetent, by unfair means "dove over the magpie's nest." In the twisted rules, limited educational opportunities, not allocated to the most appropriate learners. 

After the fate of the underlying individual rewritten, but the real source of talent may be slowly clogging, drying, which can not but pay attention to.
