However, the far-away schools for some students, the increased economic load for the parents, the lack of the full-time teachers, and the lack of child’s emotional tie to his or her parents, all these problems will bring negative influence to carry out the adjustment of the layout structure of compulsory education in rural areas in the future.By means of the theoretical method and the empirical method, this thesis makes a comprehensive analysis of the background, the meaning, the research methods and object, the concepts and the characteristics of the adjustment of the layout structure of compulsory education, then a contrastive analysis of the adjustment of the layout structure of compulsory education between Gansu and its neighbor, Qinghai Province, and an empirical research on the adjustment of the layout structure of compulsory education in Jinta County of Jiuquan, Xifeng District of Qingyang, and Wen County of Longnan, which are all in Gansu Province.
