Abstract

The fertility rate in China continues to decline, and the number of newborns is decreasing year by year. Meanwhile, due to significant population mobility, the number of teachers, schools and the allocation of educational resources also change with the population changes. The decrease in the number of newborns has different impacts on the allocation of resources for primary and higher education, and the population and educational resources are concentrated in the cities and towns and developed areas. These phenomena require us to pay attention to the allocation of educational resources to improve the level of education while paying attention to the compulsory education itself.
