REGIONAL EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE OF EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT IN CHINA

Abstract

This study explores the disparities in the distribution of educational resources across China's regions from the perspective of educational management. Based on China's national education statistics, provincial education yearbooks, and field survey data from 31 provinces, the study analyzes the current situation, underlying causes, and potential solutions to the inequality of education resources using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The study found that there are significant differences in three key dimensions, namely, teacher strength, financial input and infrastructure, with the gap between the eastern and western regions being particularly prominent. The study suggests that the main reasons for these disparities are unbalanced economic development, institutional barriers in resource allocation, and inadequate coordination mechanisms in education management. In addition, this study proposes a theoretical framework for the balanced allocation of educational resources and suggests practical strategies for educational administrators, such as optimizing the resource allocation mechanism, strengthening inter-regional collaboration, and implementing targeted supportive policies for less developed regions. This study enriches the relevant literature in the field of educational equity and provides evidence-based recommendations for policymakers to promote the balanced development of regional education in China.
