Pre-school education, national finance, regional development
Abstract
Pre-school education is an important part of the national education system, it is an important stage for children to lay the foundation for lifelong learning and all-round development. However, there are obvious differences in population, number of kindergartens, and teacher level between the eastern and western regions, which has caused a shift in the country’s investment in education. The eastern provinces have a high level of urbanization, close to the coast, and occupy geographical advantages, most of the investment in education funds is higher than that of the western provinces, and the education level is also ahead of the west. To balance the differences in education between regions and improve the inclusive system of preschool education, the country should increase investment in education in key western provinces to optimize educational resources and reduce information gaps. Promote education legislation to enhance the social status of rural teachers, while establishing a “compensation” type of fiscal fund transfer payment system to increase the income of low-income groups, to balance the problem of regional funding differences.
