Education equity and opportunity are given new dimensions in China's modern period. Education equity is a basic indicator for measuring a country's level of civilization. China is currently thriving and connected to the rest of the globe. Future China will work miracles through its trials and put its faith in its youth. In 2023, China will continue its major programme of comprehensively promoting the grand renaissance of the Chinese nation. One of the vital initiatives to achieve the renewal of the greatness of the Chinese race is to develop education, and equity in education is an essential component of educational development. Equity in education constitutes an indispensable foundation on which social equity rests. The pursuit towards quality education and the realization of fair educational opportunities for everyone, however, continue to present significant difficulties. Different areas and ethnic groups in China have significant differences in education and access to educational resources.
