Abstract: Educational fairness varies historically in its manifestation and governance in different times. In the new era, the main contradiction in education has become the one between the eager expectation of the masses to receive high quality education and the serious shortage and uneven development of education. This transformation requires a new idea of education fairness that is people-centered and beyond the traditional view of education equity based on economic development or political rights. New educational fairness advocates new education development concept which focuses on the sustainable development and educational quality. It adheres to the new view of educational justice, which recognizes human dignity; and a new view of educational fairness evaluation which aims to enhance people's sense of educational fairness.

Key words: new educational fairness, people-centered evaluation, transformation of educational fairness, sense of educational fairness
