Economic development is the basic purpose of most countries in the world, it is a multidimensional concept, reflect not only the economic growth rate, per capita income, life expectancy, health care, the improvement of education level, etc. Schultz has lon g been realized that the positive role of education, he believes that education is the source of development, its role more than object of universal values in high price. In the economic growth theory and empirical study, we clearly realize that the human capital and economic growth have close relations, the development of a nation’s human capital cannot leave the education, education is a country’s economic development to take off the engine. Modern society is an age of knowledge explosion, rapid technology in science and technology, the competition between countries is the national economic strength, but the power needed to implement and creation, from this we know that education to promote the development of economy, from microscopic view, education relationship with personal growth and survival; From the macroscopic view, education in the hands of the national economy. Can education development can decide the degree of civilization of a country and economic strength.Rapid development of national economy at the same time, the national education level received a significant boost to the economy level varies in different regions, the regional difference expansion is indisputable trends, from the macroscopic economic performance level of gross national product(GNP) measures, 2011 GDP before four province GDP accounted for 34.52% of national GDP, then four GDP accounted for only 1.32% of GDP, the country varies widely. Education fairness problem is increasingly highlighted, compared to developed areas and poor areas, not only economic strength strong, education level is not in the same level, which makes the poor areas in the backward area into a "poverty- education into low- human capital-backward economy- low income- poverty" vicious circle, so as to expand the economic gap between developed regions and underdeveloped regions. Cause social problems, deepened the binary structure of our country’s society. In the case of unbalanced regional education development, this paper analyzes the education gap between the impact on the regional economic development. Specific content is as follows:The first part of the article analyzes the current situation of education developme nt in our country, from the differences between provinces in China, especially education inequality in East Middle West Region of China and the gap between urban and rural education. Over the past decade, China’s education has undergone enormous changes. But urban and rural education level have a certain gap. Education in city more equitable than in rural. but the gap between urban and rural education development level as a whole has a tendency to shrink, the education development level disparity between urban and rural areas and urban and rural education gap of inequality in the 2001 to 2012, this time with convergence properties, convergence rate reached 0.006% and 0.006%, urban and rural education gap, guaranteeing the fairness of education. Using the rural compulsory education as an example, we analyze the influence factors of the development of education.The second part is the quantitative analysis of the regional economy, according to the analysis of current regional economy in our country, and for the measurement of the regional economy convergence in detail analysis, selection of education developme nt indicators to measure its influence on the economic convergence, selects the average by fixed number of year of the education and education gini coefficient as the influe nce factors of add, results show that the education inequalit y is an important factor affecting economic divergence and convergence, the development of education, eliminate the education inequality is important means to promote the coordinated development of regional economy.On this basis, the third part mainly through the inequality of education on economic growth; education inequality effect on economic convergence; the education differences between East and West, the difference of regional economy, the influe nce of the influence of the education gap in regional economic analysis of three aspects. Results show that the relationship between the gap and inter regional economic development level, the education inequality gap shows that the education gap, does have an impact on regional economic gap, and also has a significant effect in a certain region, enlarge the educational gap may lead to economic gap becomes larger, the widening gap between rich and poor, so that the social fairness can not be guaranteed, easy because social unrest.Basic research in the three aspects of the currently used, combining domestic and foreign effective experience to balance regional educational development, regional economic development, that between education and economy are inseparable relationship, education under certain conditions on the economy has a role in promoting, also have the same effect on the economy on the development of education, the development of education and economy influence each other, mutual restraint, to balance the development of China’s economy, control the Gini coefficient, we need to pay more attention to education.Not only to adjust the economic structure, it is important to guarantee the effectiveness of the education development, balance, increase in fiscal expenditure proportion of education funds, emphasizes the dominance of the provincial, central, continue to deepen the reform of the education input mechanism, promote education fairness, to perfect the economic system.
