| Education is the most important part of our country. It is closely related to national prosperity. Promoting the development of education fairness is an important means to progress the construction of new urbanization. Due to the uneven development of various regions of China, the opportunity and quality of education service people receive is not balanced in inter-regional, inter-urban and rural areas as well as different individuals. The phenomenon becomes common owing to unreasonable layout and scattered layout, such as increased distance to school, unbalanced teacher strength and so on, especially in remote rural areas. In order to assist the fairness of education, we should judge the areas at first which the development of education is not balanced. So we can optimize the layout of regional educational facilities.Dehong Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province has been taken as the study area. At first, based on the equal opportunity perspective, basic education equalization index system has been built from two aspects of school configuration level and admission convenience. Scale model, closet model and accumulating opportunity model has been integrated to achieve the selection of indicator and factor analysis and correlation analysis has been used to filter indicator. Secondly, an evaluation model of equalization of basic education has been built, combined entropy model with weighted model.This model can be used to evaluate the basic education development of Dehong. In order to make the results more intuitive, the index of Dehong basic education equalization is divided into five grades, best equalization, better equalization, good equalization, bad equalization and worst equalization. Based on the results of the assessment, it finally proposes a solution to optimize the layout of schools, strengthen the teaching staff improve the management mechanism and promote national unity, etc.The results show that:(1) The most appropriate service radius of primary education is 1500 meters and the most appropriate service radius of secondary school is 2500 meters in Dehong. (2)The equalization of primary school is better than secondary school. The equalization of county center is better than remote border towns. (3) Whether school configuration level or admission convenience, there is imbalance among towns and the index scores are significantly different. (4) The equalization of basic education of these towns is the worst, including Nabang town, Mengyue village, Sudianlilizu village, Huyu village, Manghai town, Zhongshan village, Santaishan village, Huguo village and Qingping village. More than half of the villages above belong to minority gathering area. |
