近年来由于教育机会不平等引发的问题吸引了公众的关注。比如说,乡村地区落后的教学设施和残破的教学楼同城市地区的高级设施和完备的教室形成了鲜明的对比,以及贫困家庭的孩子因为高昂的学费而上不成大学等。
造成这些问题的原因有几个:一,分配给乡村和城市学校的资源不平衡;二,提供给贫困学生的学业贷款远远不够;三,部分学校录取政策的不公平也将很多学生拒之门外。教育不平等有很多不良影响,一方面会影响人们未来的雇佣,另一方面这是很多社会问题的根源。
我认为为了改变这个现状应该采取以下措施:首先,政府应该增加教育支出并将公共资源的首要补贴对象定为乡村和较落后的城市学校;其次,应该加快建成政府对学生的金融援助体系;第三,政府应该加快教育改革以确保每个人都可以平等入学。
