Education to Improve the Status of Women in Modern Society: The Chinese Case

The statement of basic materials: This article is dedicated to studying the development of women’s education in China, from the time when very few women could receive education to the popularization of women’s education today. Analyzing the educational status of contemporary Chinese women and discovering its shortcomings requires us to continuously improve the educational environment for women in the process of educational development. Conclusions: Women's education in China originated in the late 19th century and had a significant impact on breaking free from the shackles of outmoded ideas and breaking down unequal gender perspectives. Nowadays, women's education in China continues to develop steadily, and the gender gap has been basically eliminated in the field of elementary education. The gender ratio of compulsory education and high school education is basically the same as that of the birth population, and gender education has basically achieved data equality. However, behind the prosperity of women's education, there are also some risks that cannot be ignored. Therefore, developing women's education remains a long-term and arduous task that requires unremitting efforts from all countries.
