Abstract
The education disparity between urban and rural China has always been a factor with a lasting effect on society. People are eschewing vocational education for manufacturing and labor in favor of higher education in China as a result of the country's national admission test system for higher education. At all levels, a trend toward a shortage of skilled labor is becoming more and more obvious. The Chinese government implemented a double-drop policy for the education sector in 2021 to try to change this scenario. This strategy has a significant social and economic impact, has severely hurt the traditional school sector, and has caused changes in the educational landscape.
