Abstract:

The education index under the framework of the human development index (HDI) is one of the three sub-indexes of the human development index compiled by the United Nations Development Programme. It is widely used in the comparative study of the international educational development level. According to the latest compilation method of education index under HDI framework, the paper calculates China’s education index from 1990 to 2018, and makes relevant international comparative analysis and comparative analysis of domestic regions. Calculation and analysis found that: vertically, China’s educational development has achieved remarkable results; horizontal comparison found that China’s education development still has a long way to go. Analysis of various regions in China found that the low level of education development in the western region is the main reason for the low level of education development in China. This paper puts forward some policy suggestions.
