Education Inequity教育不公平.doc

SookieNumber 38Alex Weil10 Chinese 2012/9/25Education Inequity Let me describe something for you, something are just happening in China today. At colleges, rich students are involved in various club activities, having fun with their friends in the KTV, using their parents money to take training class(learning an instrument or a minor language) or get ready to study abroad; however, other poor students are make every effort to save their living expenses, finding one or more part-time jobs, and are busy applying for student loan or scholarship, so they have less time to study and relax themselves. In primary schools, especially rural and remote areas, children are still studying in the dangerous houses, sharing only one or two teachers who can teach everything, including literature, math, PE, music or whatever. While at the same time, students in big cities are enjoying constantly updated education facilities, teached by more professional teachers, choosing classes interest them and taking part in training courses arranged by their parents after class. Besides, in middle schools, in order to improve their enrollment to colleges and universities, schools divide their students into different levels through tests. So there comes the good ones and the bad ones.Good students form honors class, while the bad students form regular class. Those honors classes always have big names such as Tsinghua Class or Peking Class. Schools are only focus on these classes and pay more attention to them. Therefore, the students of regular classes feel depressed about themselves, having less motivation to work hard. I feel so sorry for them, because only one exam cant explain something. Schools should treat every student equally and find other talent from the normal students. All these things reflect one fact-education inequity. This problem concerns me because we all know that fairness is of great importance in modern society. Only when everyone has the relatively equal chance can our society keep stable. And education is the cornerstone of national rejuvenation, and equal access to education provides an important underpinning for social equity. If education cant be equal, other fairness also cant be realized. Education Inequity makes young people feel that their effort cant exchange for the same possibility of success. Consequently, they become upset ,confused and irritable. Whats worse, they gradually form warped values. They cant tell what is correct from what is wrong, which becomes a very dangerous situation. Therefore,there is a need to formulate corresponding measures to promote educational equity. In my opinion, at present, the main problem of education equity lies in the allocation of educational resources. Government should reasonably allocate public eduction resources,focus on rural areas and outlying and poverty-stricken areas,quicken the narrowing gap. Besides, more financial investment should be used in education. For schools, they should pay particular attention to the needs of vulnerable groups, help them both in matter
