The 55th China Higher Education Expo (2020)

Peng Wenjun: We are concerned that since 2012, universities directly under the Ministry of Education have arranged 64 universities to be included in the designated poverty alleviation work system. Colleges and universities in our country have played a vital role in the process of getting rid of poverty, especially in the decisive year, and are indispensable forces in the process of getting rid of poverty in the whole country. In a word, the cooperation between universities and local governments in our country is mainly reflected in the combination of blood transfusion and hematopoiesis, and the combination of wisdom and ambition. In particular, the school’s resources are seamlessly connected with local needs, and the school’s scientific and educational advantages are accurately connected with local resources and development foundations. In the process of participating in poverty alleviation, each university is actively exploring and building a new mode of cooperation between schools and places in combination with its own characteristics and the characteristics of poverty alleviation points. There are mainly the following aspects:

1. Poverty alleviation through education lays the foundation for local poverty alleviation. Colleges and universities make use of the advantages of talents to increase the motivation of local development. For example, teaching, pairing, donation, the construction of smart campus, joint teaching, targeted training, and accurate selection and delivery, many measures can lay the foundation for education in poor areas.

2、科技扶贫促进贫困地区产业发展。高校的学科优势转化为地方发展的引擎，主要体现在统筹学科力量，帮助开展技术攻关。比如湖南大学医学特别有特色，对口扶贫的江华县是瑶族区域中南大学把江华县的瑶医、瑶药充分进行技术攻关，进行帮扶。湖南大学利用生物科学的优势，在定点扶贫的龙葵县攻克羊肚菌的种植技术。这些学科优势为地方脱贫起到了很好的引擎作用。

3、文化扶贫。高校的专业优势能够助推解决区域贫困。像湖南的十八洞村，习近平总书记在视察十八洞村的时候首先提出了精准扶贫，也就是说这个村是精准扶贫的首创地。最后湖南省委托湖南大学建筑规划学科的力量，为十八洞村进行援建和设计。整个村的硬件设计、文化设计全部进行包装，形成了十八洞村脱贫攻坚的模式。这也是一种文化扶持的力量。

4、消费扶贫。高校的资源优势可以为对口的扶贫地提供推手和平台，包括农副产品的生产、加工、销售，可以起到很多助力作用。

总的来讲，校地结合、校地融合对于脱贫攻坚发挥了重大的支撑作用。
