The Unfairness of Left-behind Children in Education

Fair education is an issue that needs to be paid attention to in the current society. Due to the economic and technological differences in regional development, cultural differences in different societies, and other environmental factors, education is gradually commercialized, and the education that children are exposed to has a world of difference. Left-behind children are exactly one of the groups that need to be helped. First of all, the gap between urban and rural areas will give children different quality of education and unfair access to school. Most teachers will choose to teach in cities. In impoverished mountainous regions, the government has established only a limited number of schools to offer fundamental education to rural students, and the quantity of schools and educators is inferior to that found in urban areas. Inequality infiltrated education through access to schools. Subsequently, the advancement of infrastructure and technology exacerbated the educational disparity. With the help of science and technology, children can easily acquire a huge amount of knowledge, but children in undeveloped areas, do not use technology products, which further deepens the inequality in education. Importantly, in a society with low social mobility, poverty can also lead to inequality in children's education. Different cross factors will bring different degrees of psychological problems and earning problems to children. This paper uses the theory of cultural capital and the Marxist theory of class differentiation to study these problems. The article ends with some suggestions on the issue, such as a support program that could be implemented to enable a family with the means to support schools for children in mountain areas or to carry out other charitable projects.
