Abstract

Nowadays, the difference in the development of education levels among various regions in China is more and more obvious, and the allocation of education resources in various regions is also unbalanced. This unbalanced situation will have serious repercussions on the attainment of social equity. Imbalanced educational development will exacerbate social polarization; Influence the reasonable movement of members of society from one stratum to another; Diminish public expectations of social development and self-development, leading to social psychological imbalance; It is also going to skew the image and the role of government and affect the bottom line of social justice [1]. In China, the economic gap between the Orient and the west is significant, and the difference in resource allocation in all aspects is also large, which leads to a very large gap in education levels between the east and the west. Generally speaking, the western region lags behind the eastern region. As the development situation of the Eastern region is getting better and better, favourable conditions attract a wide range of talent, and the talents and population are mostly concentrated in the eastern region, which leads to an increasingly large development gap between the two regions. Taking Beijing and Gansu as an example, from the economic point of view, by comparing the GDP index, per capita disposable income, and education capital investment of the two places, this paper studies how the economic differences between the two places cause this phenomenon of unbalanced development and put forward some suggestions.
