Educational equity pursued in the new era, more emphasis on the establishment of a unified mechanism for the allocation of educational resources, the implementation of effective and equitable education policy, strengthen the supervision and management of educational quality, improve the structure of educational resources allocation, and improve the level of investment in education to achieve.

Equity in education refers to the norms or principles of reasonableness on which the state bases its allocation of educational resources. By "rational", we mean that the allocation of educational resources should be consistent with the development and stability of society as a whole and with the development and needs of individual members of society, and that the allocation of educational resources should be unified from the perspective of the dialectical relationship between the two.

On May 22, 2020, Premier Li Keqiang proposed in the 2020 State Council government work report to promote the equitable development and quality improvement of education.

In March 2022, Xinhua News Agency and Baidu released the "Big Data on the Concerns and Expectations of the National People's Congress of 2022", which showed that education equity ranked 10th in education reform.

The concept of educational equity has a long history, and the pursuit of educational equity is an ancient concept in human society. Historically, Plato, the great thinker of ancient Greece, first put forward the idea of educational fairness, while Aristotle was the first to propose that the right to education be guaranteed to free citizens through law.

Two thousand years ago Confucius, the great educator of ancient China, also put forward the simple democratic idea of education without discrimination. The modern Western bourgeoisie is committed to the search for educational equity, and by the end of the 18th century, the idea of educational equity had been translated into legislative measures in some Western countries, which legally established that all people have equal opportunities to receive education.
