Abstract

The chapter analyzes the barriers to poor students' access to higher education. Many factors influence this, including economic, support policies, quality of general education, and personal awareness and motivation. Financial difficulties are the biggest barrier as tuition fees, living expenses, and limited access to student loans. At the same time, the gap in education quality between urban and rural areas puts rural students at a disadvantage in their studies and university entrance exams. The chapter proposes improving financial support policies, improving student loans, and supporting living expenses. Improve the quality of general education by investing in facilities, improving teacher capacity, and innovating the curriculum. It is necessary to change the perception of students and parents about the role of higher education, and develop career guidance programs and preferential admission policies. These solutions require coordination between the State, schools, businesses, and society to ensure equal and sustainable learning opportunities for poor students in rural areas.
