Thinking About Equal Access To Higher Education In China

This thesis tries to explain the meaning of equal access to higher education from the perspective of science of value. It investigates the state of 'equal access to higher education ' between urban and rural in China, and analyses why .The writer hope that by compulsory education with no fees in rural first, increasing the number of senior middle school students in rural, we will lead to 'equal access to higher education'.The thesis is divided into four sections.Section one shows why we probe into it, what it has been done and what the great immediate significance is.Section two .The logic start is based on the explanation of the 'equal access'. Equal belong to 'the concept of value'. Access means right, opportunity or means of reaching, using or approaching .The relations between subjects and objects is whether objects can satisfy subjects' needs. Equal access to higher education has two standards: subjective needs and talent (or students' mark). Higher education is of great value to people.Section three investigates what 'equal access to higher education 'has been and explores the causes of them, hi the condition with no tees there was a gap in children between rural and urban .The condition with fees enlarged the gap, expanding the number of the students in higher education hasn't narrowed it. Then, why? One is the different providing of compulsory education of the government between rural and urban, the second is the withering of senior middle schools, and the last is that the number of students to be enrolled in higher education shows favoritism to the children from urban.The last section inquires into it from three angles. First, to ensure the children from rural then" access to higher education on an equal footing, compulsory education with no fees must be brought about with the more government's funding flowing to the schools in rural. Second, we can increase appropriately the number of senior middle school students in rural. Last, the number of students to be enrolled in higher education is distributed according to the number of total students both from urban and rural. I think these measures will lead to 'equal access to higher education'.
