The highly matching between the talent and technical bottlenecks that need to be overcome in the cause of rural revitalization and the advantages,motivations,and responsibilities of universities serving so-ciety has become the intrinsic logic of higher education serving rural revitalization.At present,China's higher education serving rural revitalization presents typical features of policy-driven and university partici-pation:through special post teacher programs and free normal education policy,it serves the development of rural basic education,continuously increasing the rural human capital reserve through self-study exami-nations for rural areas,the"one village,one college student"plan,and measures to guide graduates to work at rural communities.There are special enrollment plans for students from rural and poor regions and financial aid policies.Universities directly under the Ministry of Education have direct service to rural eco-nomic and social development for poverty alleviation.Based on this,the expansion path for higher educa-tion serving rural revitalization should involve introducing and nurturing talent to provide support for rural revitalization,implementing technology innovation leadership to promote the transformation and dissemi-nation of agricultural technology achievements,improving talent cultivation models to train new agricul-tural technology talents,enriching university poverty alleviation methods to narrow the income gap be-tween urban and rural residents,coordinating various policies and attracting social forces to actively partic-ipate in various services for rural revitalization.
