Xi’an shows a center-strong/periphery-weak pattern in physical education teacher allocation, affecting resource distribution.
High–high clusters of well-resourced schools are located in the urban core, while low–low clusters are found in remote districts, illustrating resource disparities.
Spatial analysis confirmed a moderate positive spatial autocorrelation with a Global Moran’s I value of 0.268, indicating clustering behavior.
The study highlights the need for targeted policies, like improving teacher vacancies and training participation, to achieve educational equity.
