The justice of opportunity to learn is a manifestation of educational justice in classroom teaching. Ensuring that students enjoy fair learning opportunities is an important task of classroom teaching. This study investigated 109 junior high school students’ perceptions of opportunity to learn in Shanghai, China. The results show that students’ experience of learning opportunity can be divided into distributive, procedural and interactional justice. Overall, students reported procedural un/fairness more frequently than the other two types. These findings have important implications for educational research and practice on justice of opportunity to learn in China and beyond.
