Abstract

After the establishment of the Peoples Republic of China in 1949, the long-term domestic chaos suspended and the economy developed rapidly but unequally. To be more specific, the coastal areas and the leasing territory during the wartime, such as Shanghai, Hong Kong and Guangdong, developed quickly because of the convenient international trading and historical background, while the rural areas, especially the mountainous areas in Chinese inland areas, such as Henan and Hunan, developed very slowly or even did not develop anymore. Based on the education situation in Hunan, China, this paper analyzes the root cause of the failures of increasing the quality of education in China and proposes some feasible solutions to solve the problem. This study finds that conducting the periodic psychological survey and providing psychological counseling, and providing the citizenship of some metropolises for the volunteer teachers who teach in the education left over areas can be some approaches to fixing this problem.
