Taking the current situation of education in China as the starting point, firstly this paper points out the healthy changes such as educational reform. It focuses on the analysis of the uneven distribution of educational resources in China's current education, which focuses on the uneven distribution of educational resources in the eastern and western regions and the uneven development of education in urban and rural area. Finally, the article concludes the imbalance of China's education development through the analysis of specific data such as the average salary of high school teachers and the overall national education expenditure. One of the most intuitive problems caused by the difference in educational resources is the huge difference in the illiteracy rate between the east and the west of China, with the illiteracy rate in most eastern provinces being less than 7%, while that in some western provinces is as high as 40%. It also puts forward suggestions for increasing investment in education expenditure, increasing teachers' salaries, and strengthening supervision.
