Abstract

A distinct education has become a heretical right for urban elites despite educational equality is an official agenda. This has not only widened the gaps between urban and rural counterparts but also developed discriminations amongst different classes of student within the urban schools. To validate this tenet, the facilities offered by various schools were compared. Yet, whether a particular secondary education program has become an exclusive right essentially for urban elites to deprive others; is not widely explored—an investigation of this study. Educational background and some selective socioeconomic status (SES) of 925,617 students; completed their secondary school certificate from 3,315 schools were collected to make comparison through descriptive analysis of secondary data. Findings note that secondary science education has become a popular program amongst the urban elites. Subsequently, they also perform well in the public examination. Furthermore, discussions suggest that science being an international education demands both formal and informal higher budgets. Hence, a greater success of urban elites in secondary science provision helps them to succeed successively in procuring higher education and thereby in job-market. Thus, a policy intervention is required to ensure an effective implementation of educational equity concept.

中学科学课程是否已成为前殖民地国家的精英城市教育产品？

尽管教育平等是一项官方议程，但对于城市精英来说，接受独特的教育已成为一项异端权利。这不仅拉大了城市和农村学生之间的差距，也在城市学校中形成了对不同阶层学生的歧视。为了验证这一原则，我们对不同学校提供的设施进行了比较。然而，特定的中等教育课程是否已成为城市精英剥夺其他人的专有权利，这一问题尚未得到广泛探讨--这也是本研究的一项调查内容。本研究收集了 3315 所学校 925 617 名已获得中学毕业证书的学生的教育背景和部分选择性社会经济地位（SES），通过对二手数据的描述性分析进行比较。研究结果表明，中学科学教育已成为城市精英的热门课程。因此，他们在公开考试中也表现出色。此外，讨论还表明，科学作为一种国际教育，需要正规和非正规的更高预算。因此，城市精英在中学理科教育中取得更大的成功，有助于他们成功获得高等教育，进而进入就业市场。因此，需要进行政策干预，以确保有效落实教育公平理念。

期刊介绍： Education and Urban Society (EUS) is a multidisciplinary journal that examines the role of education as a social institution in an increasingly urban and multicultural society. To this end, EUS publishes articles exploring the functions of educational institutions, policies, and processes in light of national concerns for improving the environment of urban schools that seek to provide equal educational opportunities for all students. EUS welcomes articles based on practice and research with an explicit urban context or component that examine the role of education from a variety of perspectives including, but not limited to, those based on empirical analyses, action research, and ethnographic perspectives as well as those that view education from philosophical, historical, policy, and/or legal points of view.lyses.
