Poverty alleviation requires intellectual support. Allowing children in poor areas to receive a good education is an important task for poverty alleviation and development, and is also an important way to block the intergenerational transmission of poverty. "Cure ignorance" and "support wisdom" are basically the development of education. Compared with economic poverty alleviation, policy poverty alleviation, project poverty alleviation, etc., "education poverty alleviation" directly points to the root causes of poverty and backwardness, and holds the key to getting rid of poverty and becoming rich in poor areas.
It can be said that how much water a bucket can hold is not determined by the longest piece of wood, but by the shortest piece of wood. The education level in poor areas is the weakest link in the fight against poverty, and the fight against poverty is to overcome the "short link" of education.
