This paper examines the role of digital education in bridging the urban-rural divide in STEM education across China, focusing on accessibility, engagement, and educational outcomes. Despite significant advances in digital infrastructure and educational platforms, rural areas continue to face challenges in access to high-quality STEM education, primarily due to disparities in teacher training, resource availability, and community support. The study highlights the importance of targeted interventions, including improved teacher training, increased parental and community engagement, and tailored educational programs to address these challenges. By analyzing both short-term outcomes and long-term aspirations, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of how digital education can contribute to reducing educational inequities between urban and rural regions in China.
