There is a significant asymmetry in the allocation of educational resources between rural and urban areas, and across regions in China. Besides, general high school education, which serves as a bridge between compulsory education and higher education in China, experiences inadequate and unbalanced development across regions. In this paper, taking both static and dynamic perspectives into account, DEA and Malmquist index models are constructed to comprehensively evaluate the efficiency of resource allocation and total factor productivity of high school education in both urban and rural areas of China from 2007 to 2022, while a comparative analysis is conducted between urban and rural areas. The results show that the overall efficiency of high school educational resource allocation in China is inadequate, with rural areas experiencing lower efficiency than urban areas. Furthermore, disparities in resource allocation efficiency are distinguishable between urban and rural areas in the eastern, central, and western regions. Therefore, in order to enhance the efficiency of resource allocation in regular high schools, it is crucial to formulate an integrated planning for educational resource allocation in both urban and rural regions. In addition, technical guidance should be intensified in areas with inefficient resource allocation, and the evaluation system of resource investment performance must be enhanced. |
