Abstract

In recent years, great progress has been made in the reform and development of China's education system. Based on China's unique social environment, this paper discusses the role of China's higher education in the process of social reproduction. John Rawls's theory of "the principle of social and economic inequality" is applied, especially "the principle of equal opportunity". To investigate whether middle and low-class students in China have a fair opportunity to enter the higher education system (for example, by taking the college entrance examination). This paper analyzes how China's higher education system contributes to promoting social equity and further narrowing the gap. We must further study the role of China's higher education system in the field of social reproduction so that it can play a substantive and useful role. The common development of China's higher education system and the college entrance examination system is conducive to eliminating educational differences and realizing the balanced development of the society as a whole. In addition, China's evolving higher education system has contributed to promoting social equity by providing students from all regions, races and socio-economic strata with comprehensive and fair opportunities and quality of higher education.
