Abstract

The attainment of high-quality development within China’s rural education system necessitates a fundamental reliance on endogenous forces. This entails nurturing an educational purpose rooted in the cultivation of modern individuals through rural education. To achieve this, it is imperative to delineate the essential, localized, urban, and distinctive educational objectives, and establish a comprehensive understanding of the rural-urban relationship. This approach aims to address several pervasive challenges in the current administration of rural schools, including the erosion of fundamental objectives, the neglect of local considerations, the deviation from urban-centric goals, and the failure to grasp the unique characteristics of rural education. In pursuit of high-quality rural education, it is imperative to elucidate the internal mechanisms that underpin such development. This involves reinforcing the trajectory of fundamental goals, rediscovering local objectives, aligning with urban imperatives, and prioritizing the understanding and application of distinctive characteristics. By doing so, we seek to elevate the quality of rural education and pedagogy, achieve a paradigm shift in development, and contribute significantly to the broader revitalization of rural areas.
