Investigation on opportunities of higher education for rural children in the beginning of the century

Education has always been a most reliable way for those from a bottom class to a upper class. Nowadays, the rural children have less opportunities to higher education than the urban children, which indicates that the rural children are under disadvantages in the competition for higher education resources with the urban children. The reasons for that are from poor family background, as while as the relatively lower educational level and college entrance examination policy deficiency. In this thesis, the author put forward some measures to make education more equitable, including reform of the college entrance examination policy, adjustment of the rural education financial system, perfection of rural cultural facilities, etc.
