Abstract

Adjustment of distribution of rural schools is not only a primary method for scientific layout and optimized deployment of educational resources in rural area, but also of great significance for development of minority society. The research object of this paper is the rural schools in the Qinghai-Tibet region of Northwest China. The main method used are interview and questionnaire, and then analyze the data. By investigating those initial stakeholders’ responses to the adjustment of rural school distribution in minority areas and further probing into the microscopic social environment—family, the author of this thesis found that The adjustment of rural primary and secondary schools has brought about momentary development opportunities for local education, and it has also brought many problems and hidden dangers to direct stakeholders. The dismantling and emerging of schools brings about optimal allocation of rural educational resources, and at the same time it also brings shocks to the educational environment within rural families. when formulating an education policy, we must consider comprehensively, for example, we should consider the interests of people related to this policy, such as villagers, teachers and students in this paper. Certainly, in the process of education policy-making, we should fully listen to the opinions and suggestions of all aspects for analysis and comparison, so as to ensure the democracy of policy-making.
