Abstract

School district system has been an important system in China's education policy since the founding of New China. It mainly refers to the principle that students are enrolled in the nearest place, and forms an educational governance unit composed of specific governance themes. In the policy context of China, the school district system is an institutional innovation aimed at promoting the co-construction and sharing of educational resources among schools for the purpose of inter-school balance. Since the founding of New China, the school district system has been constantly improved. From the perspective of China's policy on school district system, school district system has undergone two reforms. The first reform was after China’s reform and opening up. The school district was a sub-educational administrative unit based on administrative logic to cope with the problem of limited management ability of local educational administrative departments. The second reform was in the millennium, when the school district system diluted the administrative features and focused on standardizing the allocation of educational resources to promote the balanced development of educational resources. In this regard, this study analyzes these two stages in order to discuss the basis for the evolution and reform of China’s school district system.
