- Abstract
With the development of the economy in China, the author found that though the urban and rural families hold similar ideologies in education, the urban students nearly monopolize all the educational resources, thus creating a large social gap between the urban and rural regions in terms of education. Social inequality is reproduced in the educational system: the rare opportunity for rural students to receive cross- district education and the rise of education as a commercial industry has blocked out the potential prospect for rural students and the future of “Small-Town Swots,” students from lower social class who strive to enter elite universities.
