Urban/Rural Disparities in Access to Elite Higher Education: The Case of Tsinghua University
Summary. Rural students in China have significantly improved access to elite universities like Tsinghua since 2010 through preferential government policies, though gaps with urban students remain. The study shows China's higher education system effectively responds to national reforms and promotes social mobility. However, gender inequity persists, with rural female students facing lower admission chances than rural males. The authors recommend enrollment policies address intersectional disadvantages to advance educational equity.
