The Development Path of Rural Community Education from the Perspective of Lifelong Education

Abstract

Under the perspective of lifelong education, the development of rural community education is key to realizing educational equity and promoting sustainable community development. Rural community education plays an indispensable role in enhancing the comprehensive quality of rural residents and fostering the economic and social development of rural areas, making it a key pathway to achieving lifelong education. However, current rural community education faces problems such as insufficient funding, uneven resource distribution, and a disconnect between educational content and actual needs, which severely impact the quality and effectiveness of education. To address these challenges, this paper proposes targeted development paths: improving resource utilization efficiency in rural community education, updating educational content, strengthening the development of teaching staff, and promoting the advancement of rural community education through multi-party cooperation. The aim is to further enhance the quality and coverage of rural community education, promote the equitable distribution of rural educational resources, achieve educational modernization, thereby better meeting the actual needs of rural communities and laying a solid foundation for their comprehensive development. This research not only holds theoretical significance for understanding rural community education within the lifelong education framework, but also provides practical guidance and strategic recommendations for policymakers and educational practitioners.
