The results were found that: 1) The overall level of basic education in urban areas of Shaanxi Province is relatively higher than that in rural areas, including the emergence of a new binary system within cities in the process of urbanization, obstacles in the flow of educational production factors between urban and rural areas,
and spatial mismatch of educational resources. The development of urban and rural basic education is uneven in many aspects such as teacher teaching performance, student quality, teacher teaching level, teacher allocation, teacher management ability, teacher teaching environment, and education funding. Rural basic education students go to cities for learning, but the number of rural basic education students is decreasing, resulting in many left behind children. 2) The guiding principles for improving the sustainable development of urban and rural basic education included strengthening teacher training, improving the quality of rural school students, enhancing teacher teaching level, strengthening teacher allocation, improving teacher management ability, improving teacher teaching environment, increasing rural teacher education funding, and other balanced strategies to promote the sustainable and balanced development of urban and rural basic education in Shaanxi Province. 3) By evaluating the adaptability and feasibility of this method in improving the balanced and sustainable development of urban and rural basic education in Shaanxi Province, it was found that the feasibility evaluation of the research results was at a high level.
