Zhongshan has been making efforts to ensure equal education opportunities for children of migrant workers and disabled children.

The first-class university enrollment rate, undergraduates’ enrollment rate, and total college enrollment rate of Zhongshan ranked No. 1 in Guangdong Province in 2016. 

Every charming city has its features. A city may be known by the environment, by business opportunities, or by entertainments. People choose to live in different cities for different reasons. "Three times of family move by Mencius' mother" is a well-known Chinese historical story about choosing living environment. Even today Chinese parents still like to live near schools with quality education resources. Education level is an important city index. Zhongshan swept 3 most important provincial education rankings in 2016: the first-class university enrollment rate, undergraduates’ enrollment rate, and total college enrollment rate. The miracle was not made in a day. It is because of the city's profound tradition in developing education.
