Abstract

Rural preschool education is an integral part of rural society, and improving the efficiency system of evaluation of rural preschool education resource allocation is an important strategy for the implementation of the rural revitalization. This paper uses an input-oriented three-stage DEA model to analyze the efficiency of rural preschool education resource allocation in 30 provinces in China from 2012 to 2020. The results show that external factors such as the level of urbanization, birth rate, and the scale of kindergarten impacts the efficiency of rural preschool education resource allocation significantly. Without regard to the influence of environmental and random factors, the overall trend of the average efficiency of rural preschool education resource allocation in China has improved, showing a regional pattern of “central > eastern > western.” Therefore, based on the relevant policies, this paper puts forward rational suggestions for the improvement of rural preschool resource allocation efficiency in China from the perspectives of human, financial and material resources.
