Abstract

Poverty undoubtedly is a global problem, and the fight against poverty and poverty runs through human life. Poverty alleviation through education can be understood as education developed in economically underdeveloped areas. It can improve the overall quality of the individual population in underdeveloped areas, increase their cultural capital and social capital, and thus gain the ability to eliminate poverty for a long time, blocking intergenerational poverty. It enables all citizens, whether farmers or business people, to receive an education and aims to develop the economy and rationally use nature by strengthening the construction of spiritual civilization and learning modern science and technology. Therefore, education undeniably is the foundation for China to achieve comprehensive poverty alleviation and prosperity. Since the reform and opening up, China has paid unprecedented attention to education and poverty alleviation and has introduced a series of related policies. In the context of the new era, more demanding requirements have been placed on the goals, subjects, objects, content, methods, and management of education poverty alleviation policies.

Compared with economically developed areas, underdeveloped areas in China are often located on the outskirts of political and economic centers. The transportation system is imperfect, the economic foundation is relatively weak, and the social development capacity is insufficient. In addition, the natural and geographical conditions are harsh, the ethnic composition is complex, and religious influences are profound. Cultural diversity is outstanding and has long been constrained by multiple obstacles such as location conditions, cultural factors, historical accumulation, governance system, and governance capabilities. The development speed is slow, and the coverage of poverty is comprehensive. As far as the current social development situation in backward areas is concerned, poverty is a fundamental cause of many problems. Therefore, education for poverty alleviation is a practical need for urgent poverty alleviation in poverty-stricken areas and a practical issue that the academic circle should pay attention to. It is a need for humanistic care. This study mainly explores the value pursuit of education policy and poverty alleviation policy in China based on literature research, further analyzes the value pursuit of education poverty alleviation, and finally puts forward suggestions for the design of education poverty alleviation policy in the new stage of alleviating relative poverty.
