The Ministry of Education and the the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office issued the Implementation Plan for Poverty Alleviation through Education in Deep Poverty Areas (20 18—2020) (hereinafter referred to as the Plan), which will focus on poverty alleviation through education in deep poverty areas and take three years to fight the tough battle of poverty alleviation through education in deep poverty areas.

It is reported that the problem of deep poverty in concentrated contiguous destitute areas, old revolutionary base areas, ethnic areas and border areas is outstanding, and the task of tackling the problem is still very arduous. Tibet, Tibetan areas in four provinces, four prefectures in southern Xinjiang, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan, Lisu Autonomous Prefecture in Nujiang, Yunnan, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture in Gansu (hereinafter referred to as "three districts and three prefectures") and poverty-stricken counties and villages with poverty incidence exceeding 18% and poverty incidence exceeding 20% have poor natural conditions, weak economic foundation and deep poverty. To fill these shortcomings.

The "Proposal" proposes that by 2020, the overall development level of education in deep poverty-stricken areas such as "three districts and three States" will be significantly improved, and the full coverage of basic public services for the education of poor people will be achieved. Ensure that all students who set up a card are fully funded from enrollment to graduation, ensure that children from poor families can go to school, and prevent a student from dropping out of school because of family financial difficulties. More poor students who have set up their cards receive better and higher-level education, and have the opportunity to get rid of poverty through vocational education, higher education or vocational training. The ability of education to serve regional economic and social development and overcome poverty has been significantly enhanced.
