Analysis of the Factors Influencing the Participation of University Students in Rural Education for Poverty Alleviation

Abstract

The principle of “poverty alleviation first helps the poor” is fundamental to poverty alleviation through education in rural areas. It serves as an important foundation for improving the soft power of rural culture and promoting the development of rural cultural construction. However, college students, being one of the main participants in educational poverty alleviation, have not been equipped with a well-established institutionalized participation mechanism and a sufficient awareness of participation. To enhance college students’ awareness and participation in rural education and poverty alleviation and to improve the institutionalization, this research focuses on college students as a group, delves into the current situation and willingness of college students to participate in rural education and poverty alleviation, and analyzes the influencing factors affecting college students’ participation in rural education and poverty alleviation by means of a questionnaire and a computerized statistical algorithm. Lastly, based on mathematical and statistical analysis, the research puts forward corresponding optimization countermeasures and suggestions from the perspectives of the government, colleges and universities, and villages, so as to provide decision-making guidelines for solving the problems of rural education development and talent constraints.
