A full understanding of the relationship between higher education and common prosperity is of great importance for effectively exerting the positive role of higher education and promoting the realization of common prosperity. China attaches great importance to the development of higher education and sees it as the key to building a leading country in education. However, to date, detailed discussion of how higher education promotes common prosperity is relatively limited, so this chapter is devoted to further deepening the understanding of the relationship between higher education and common prosperity. The typical paths of China’s education for poverty alleviation and the contribution of higher education include improving higher education opportunities for children in poor areas; with the technological advantages, higher education efficiently and conveniently extends high-quality courses and teaching resources to universities in under-resourced areas; the implementation of education pairing assistance in higher education; higher education contributes to industry-based poverty alleviation. The discussion in this chapter will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship between higher education and common prosperity and provide new insights for further deepening research in this field. Achieving common prosperity through higher education is a long-term process in both theory and practice.
