The high-quality and balanced development of urban and rural basic education is an important guarantee to realize the strategy of strengthening the country with talents, an effective way to achieve harmonious development of society, and an inevitable choice to achieve urban and rural integration. At present, basic education in China has a major mission to cultivate talents and improve the quality of the whole nation. with the rapid development of economy and the popularization of compulsory education, the conditions and teaching quality of urban and rural basic education have witnessed obvious improvement. However, there still exists an imbalance between urban and rural basic education in terms of government funding, school-running conditions, development scale, teachers’ professional levels. Through the analysis of the causes of the imbalance, it can be found that the causes are mainly reflected in two aspects: insufficient government functions and imperfect management system of rural schools. To improve the current situation of urban and rural basic education in China and promote the high-quality and balanced development of urban and rural education, it is necessary to strengthen the top-level design and build a blueprint for high-quality and balanced development on the one hand, and to change the development concept and forge a reliable path for high-quality and balanced development of urban and rural basic education on the other hand.
