    城镇化到一定阶段后，农村教育自会改善

Education is important, and rural education investment will in return contributes the whole society.

Nowadays, it is popular to use the Balanced Scorecard to evaluate an enterprise's performance. I think similar idea can be used in evaluating students' performance.
The Balanced Scorecard mainly deals with "financial outputs", "customer", "internal business process" and "learning and growth".  As for students, it may be changed to "innovation", "public relationship", "personal objective achievement" and "full development in learning and growth".
And the four steps can also be transplanted into the students' BSC valuation:
1、Translating the vision into operational goals;
2、Communicating the vision and link it to individual performance;
3、Detail planning; index setting;
4、Feedback and learning, and adjust the strategy accordingly.
We often mention career planning nowadays, and if career objective is set as a strategy for individual, maybe he or she will develop fast on the road of perspective cultivation based on different BSCs. However, such a development road may be boring and lack of adventures.
Just a provocative thinking. Hehe.

Not just rural areas... Education quality in urban cities are not so good either..

Do you take social capital to the point of view?

From my point of view, I dont think "value-added" system is urgent and essential to China education system right now. There are more important issue need government to pay attention to: improving the education coverage in the vast  countryside which population account for 70% of China. Without enhancing the cultural quality of these 70% population, China has no future.

主要的不平等：
（1）教育条件不平等
农村孩子的教育条件比较查，不容易取得好的成绩；
（2）入学条件不平等
农村孩子在艰苦的条件下取得的成绩，在升学时仍然受到歧视。同样的成绩，某些大城市的学生可以升入名校，而农村的考生只能读个一般学校。

俗话说的好：师傅领进门，修行靠个人。一个人的成就大小最终取决于自己，但是若没有一个好的入门老师，或许他也能成功，但是会经历很多曲折，因此我们必须加大力度实现我国的教育均衡与公平，如农村与城市、区域之间、贫富之间等，尽可能降低马太效应出现的概率！

The idea of creating a national "value added" system really has enlightening meaning. It's a good topic worthy of study.

农村教育主要是义务教育，从公共品理论分析，义务教育比高等教育更接近纯公共产品，更应该由ZF提供，而因为中国各地收入水平差距非常大，从教育服务均等化的角度讲，中央ZF更应该承担起提供义务教育的责任，但事实上，中央ZF更喜欢提供高等教育而不是义务教育。
