The Measurements of the Equity of Compulsory Education Finance in Zhejiang Province.

Education equity is an important means for achieving social equity, but there are few empirical studies on education equity in Chinese academia owing to method limitations. This paper applies a new measurement method to the 2005/6 data of the elementary schools in Zhejiang province and argues that education finance reform in the province has promoted horizontal equity but vertical equity has not been attained.
