Educational equity is an enduring topic, and it keeps circling in the arena of academia. Different historical periods and social backgrounds bestow on it different connotations. With the advancement of the times and changes of the society, balanced development of basic education emerges as a new topic while people make relentless effort in the pursuit of equal education right. Ensuring balanced development of basic education makes educational equality and individual all-round development possible. It is also vital to an improvement of people’s livelihood and promotion of the harmonious development of society. However, the geographical environment and the vast gap between the economic and social development pose great difficulties to the implementation of balanced development of basic education nationwide. County, as a smaller administrative division within the natural geographical environment and its economic and social development level being relatively similar, and county-oriented education management system, which turns the county into a relatively independent area for education program, inevitably make it number one choice to promote balanced development of basic education within a county first. However the balanced development of basic education in the County is confronted with difficulties.

As special social activities, the development of education is restricted by social reality factors. It’s the same situation in balanced development of basic education.

And further they affect the result of the development of education that led to the foundation education unbalanced development of the County. According to this, development of basic education in counties should:follow the principle of coexistence so as to realize that education and social development in harmony; follow the principle of justice; and compensate the socially vulnerable groups in order to guarantee the individual’s right to equal access to education.
