Realization of Fairness as Equality Ideals——An Economic Perspective of Educational Equality in Our Country

The education inequality accompanies the educational development just as the economic inequality with the economic development. During the construction of the economic system of socialist market, certain difference, which is drawing wide social attention, exists between the reality and the ideal of educational equality. This article takes Marxist's view as a perspective that people's right can never go beyond economic structure of society and the related development of social culture. Generally speaking, the concept of educational equality is prone to be against the reality of education, while the concept of educational fairness, which is realize or concrete equality of education, is for the reality of education. Under circumstances of relatively slow development of productivity and lacking in educational resources, our government, when investing in education and redistributing educational resources within the system of education, shouldn' t neglect the actual share of the weak groups, but take fairness and efficiency into one consideration so as to make the best of both. This should be a guiding principle.
