教育公平是社會公平的重要基礎，促進教育公平是國家基本教育政策。黨和國家高度重視家庭經濟困難學生上學問題，近些年中央有關部門密集出台相關資助政策措施，已建立起覆蓋學前教育至研究生教育的學生資助政策體係，從製度上保障不讓一個學生因家庭經濟困難而失學。

　　Educationalequitymatters because it is an important basis for social equality, and the basic education policy in China is to ensure greater equity in education for all. The Chinese government is committed to increasing the affordability and availability of education for low-income students. And competent authorities over recent years have introduced a series of financial aid policies and put into place a financial aid system that runs from preschool education to graduate education, to institutionally ensure the affordability of education for low-income students.
