The Construction and Expansion Strategies of China’s Community Education Network: From the Perspective of Policy Support and Resource Integration in Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration

抄録

This paper systematically reviews the process of constructing China’s community education network, its current characteristics, and strategies for expansion. As an essential part of the lifelong education system, the development of the community education network has evolved from initial exploration and pilot experiments to large-scale promotion. During this process, a multi-level organizational system has been formed, featuring vertical coordination and horizontal integration. This structure spans five administrative levels: province, city, district (county), township (street), and village (community). This study thoroughly analyzes the key strategies that have driven the expansion of the community education network, including government-led policies, effective resource integration, curriculum optimization, teacher training, and the application of information technology. Additionally, the research highlights some of the challenges faced by the community education network, such as regional development imbalances, disparities in digitalization levels, and insufficient resource integration.
