ABSTRACT  

Since the reform and opening up, social contradictions have been constantly arising in China, education has gradually lost balance, and public education anxiety has been intensifying. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping has insisted on prioritizing the development of education, allowing learners, especially young students, to enjoy fair treatment in terms of educational pportunities, conditions, and quality. Xi Jinping’s concept of educational equity embodies the profound foundation of China’s excellent traditional educational thought, absorbs the theoretical essence of Marxist educational thought, inherits the rich experience of successive leaders of the Party in the process of educational practice.It provides fundamental guidance for deepening education reform and promoting high-quality development of education in the new era of China. It also lays the ideological guidelines for developing quality education and cultivating new generations who shoulder the great responsibility of national rejuvenation, opening up new heights and horizons for Marxist educational equity thinking.

Keywords: Xi Jinping; Educational equity perspective; Source of Thought
