Facing the eternal contradiction of the subject that " the scarcity of the educational resources and the infinity of people's needs of education" , it seems that besides taking measures to moderately confine people's undue desires to some extend, the only way to alleviate the tough situation is to persistently optimize the educational resources allocation so as to make all our efforts to meet people's excessive and various needs of education. Due to the influence of factors such as the value orientation, the policies and strategies and the designing of systems, the disparities of the regional education in our country have been sharpened and become one of the hot social topics that attract the public's attention and call for the resolution. Based on the case of Nanning, Guangxi Province, this article makes an attempt to explore the problem of optimizing the educational resources allocation of the average senior high schools in the sub-developed areas in order to promote the trans-development of the local education, thus closing the gap between the sub-developed areas and the developed areas.First, the article deals with the problem of how to realize the goal of optimizing the educational resources allocation theoretically. From the perspective of public products, we can classify the education of different level, phase, and sort as the corresponding products according to the natural feature of education. However, the natural feature of education is just the required condition for education to be a certain product. Whether education becomes the public product or the private product, it does not totally depend on the natural feature of education, but more on the social feature of education. In fact, it is not the characteristics of education that make it to be a certain product, but the conception that education is considered as a certain product renders education some affiliated characteristics. Therefore, in a strict way, education is the product of law and the result of different systems. Through the reform of systems, education of the same level, phase and sort can be regarded as the private product, or the public product, or the public-to-be product. This feature of transforming freely between the public product and the private product of education reserves broad space for people to design systems. From the perspective of choosing the mode of the educational resources allocation, it is noticeable that the planned allocation and the market allocation bear their own advantages and disadvantages, with the good points of one side being the shortages of the other. Particularly, in the aspect of the efficiency of the educational resources allocation, the planned allocation performs better in the macro level whereas the market allocation is superior to the planned allocation in the micro level. So, it is a theoretical option to realize the goal of optimizing the educational resources allocation with a mixed allocation mode of "Plan+Market". From the perspective of the relations between the efficiency and the fairness of the educational resources allocation, to optimize the educational resources allocation includes both the efficiency and the fairness. The Pareto Optimality carried out by the means of market competition is not against the requirement of the fairness of education. The agreement relationship between the Pareto Optimality and the balance of market competition indicates that the result of balanced market competition attributes to the faculty distribution or the income-seeking right distribution. When it comes to the potential problem of unfair distribution caused by the Pareto Optimality, we can resort to the method of properly selecting the income-seeking right distribution case, changing the result of market operation and the status of the Pareto Optimality, which will help us reach a certain expecting consequence and provide the government's fair distribution policy with some theoretical support. From the perspective of production, the government will be able to ensure that the social resources can be allocated to the field of education and others in a highly efficient and fair way as long as the government holds the principle of "Making the social marginal benefits equivalent" to allocate the social resources. From the perspective of consumption, we should apply the principle of "Making the social marginal effectiveness equivalent" to the allocation of resources so that we can make the whole social products be allocated in the same way, thus maximizing the social effectiveness of education consumption. Meanwhile, it also means that the state and the government should increase the fiscal expenses for the non-compulsory education, the special education, the inferior schooling and the education in the sub-developed areas. Furthermore, the state and the government should take on greater responsibilities and encourage the public's education consumption by offering different subsidies such as income subsidy, tuition financial assistance and fixed quotation financial-aids etc.Second, the article analyzes the current situation of optimizing the educational resources allocation both at home and abroad from the practical level. (The educational resources are mainly drawn up from the average senior high schools.)Third, taking the case of Nanning, Guangxi Province as an example and based on the specified analysis of the experience and action from the educational resources allocation of the average senior high schools in Nanning, Guangxi Province, the article has reached a conclusion that" The mixed allocation mode is the most reasonable and realistic option for optimizing the educational resources allocation of the average senior high schools in the sub-developed areas." In addition, the article also proposes some suggestions on how to further perfect optimizing the educational resources allocation in the sub-developed areas.
