Abstract: Educational equity is a crucial component of social equity and has long been a goal pursued in China's educational sector. As a vulnerable group in society, the protection of left-behind children's educational rights is directly linked to the realization of educational equity. Currently, left-behind children face numerous inequities in areas such as the allocation of educational resources, access to learning opportunities, and mental health development. Therefore, strengthening the construction of educational equity for left-behind children is not only a matter of respecting and safeguarding their fundamental rights but also a vital measure for promoting balanced development in China's education sector and building a harmonious society.
