“Rural areas must be revitalized, and education must be assisted.” What does it mean that the country attaches great importance to educational assistance?

The country’s emphasis on educational assistance illustrates the following points:

1. Cure poverty first and cure ignorance first, knowledge changes destiny.

2. Education is one of the important ways to achieve targeted poverty alleviation. In the work of poverty alleviation, we should pay attention to the role of education, let knowledge generate power, fundamentally solve the poverty problem, promote economic growth, and build a harmonious and stable socialist society.

3. Implementing education-based poverty alleviation is an important measure to fundamentally solve the poverty problem in poor areas and realize a well-off society.

4. The reason why those poor people are poor is that they lack the minimum reading, writing and numeracy skills, let alone modern science and technology.
