The Silver-Age Teacher Plan is an important measure to stimulate outstanding retired teachers to continue their involve-ment in the education industry,and has gradually become a national action.Taking Theory of Multiple Streams as the analysis framework of policy agenda for the Silver-Age Teacher Plan,this study systematically reveals the operational logic of"delving into the potential of an aging society":the problem stream of the dual overlap of population aging and high-quality education develop-ment,the policy stream of attention and suggestions from experts,scholars,and deputies to the National People's Congress,local policy exploration convergence,and the political stream of resonance of national strategy promotion,leadership attention,and na-tional sentiment.The three streams are coupled and intersected,opening the policy window of the National Silver-Age Teacher Plan.In the future,we should make good use of policy opportunities,provide accurate feedback on problem streams,fully absorb policy streams,and respond to political streams in a timely manner,ultimately achieving the beautiful vision of modernizing Chi-nese education in the context of aging population.
