Educational gentrification in China consists of three definition First is the phenomenon of middle-class parents in China who purchase expensive school district housing in urban school district areas. Second is the school choice phenomenon that causes gentrification in the outskirts of the city due to the implementation of education policy. Third is the phenomenon of housing prices depending on education policy. As educational gentrification happens, it means that urban educational gentrification is deepening social and spatial differentiation. The background to the educational gentrification that occurred in China is a lack of government funding for education, participation of local governments in the process of establishing space-related educational facilities, expensive school district housing, the leading role of local governments in the educational field, school admission policies near residence, These include academic education policy, collectivization education policy, and new talent education policy. Early studies of educational gentrification focused on parents’ school choice and the rising cost of district housing. Since then, research has continued on gentrification caused by school districtization and collectivized education, and educational gentrification driven by educational policy. Educational gentrification is not an indirect or passive form, but a phenomenon actively promoted by parents, schools, local governments, and education policies. Using the four spatial perspectives proposed in critical educational geography, the characteristics of educational gentrification in China is likely to grasped with the methods of looking upward, outward, inward, and inward. When looking upward and outward, focusing on the educational space, studies need to explain the specific operating mechanism of the nexus of the state and capital. The results show that education policy-led gentrification has occurred, but this does not explain academicized education as a result of neo-liberal education policy. At least, the study targeting Changchun is a case study of educational gentrification through the combination of state and capital. From a downward perspective into the educational space, studies have focused on human and social capital. We need to consider the applicability of the social capital and cultural capital that emerged in the study of the Nanjing region in China’s capitalist society, where capitalism has been in operation for only 40 years. It seems necessary to research the causes and methods of taking action in the field of education, focusing on the neoliberalized humanity. From the perspective of looking inside the educational space, educational gentrification research maintains a positive stance toward educational policy.
