Abstract
China has finished building a well-being society in all respects and completed the task of poverty alleviation. The major task will be shifted from the elimination of absolute poverty to the governance of long-standing relative poverty. As a fundamental approach to dealing with multidimensional relative poverty and cutting off the intergenerational transmission of poverty, education is supposed to establish an anti-poverty strategy targeting the improvement of people's sustainability. We need to build a lifelong educational system, offer equal services of basic public education, take other coordinated and mutually complementary measures with education to shake off poverty, mobilize multiple participants in anti-poverty, and quicken the step of formulating a policy framework for relative poverty alleviation through education to avoid the re-emergence of poverty.
