PATHWAYS AND STRATEGIES FOR PROMOTING THE SHARING OF HIGH-QUALITY EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES IN SMALL RURAL SCHOOLS IN WESTERN REGIONS THROUGH THE "INTERNET PLUS" INITIATIVE

Against the backdrop of the "Internet Plus" era, small-scale rural schools in western regions face numerous developmental challenges that constrain progress in educational equity and quality. This paper explores pathways for promoting the sharing of high-quality educational resources among these schools through internet technology. Considering the current state of rural small-scale schools, a collaborative advancement pathway is proposed. This framework centres on an internet-based educational platform as the hub, with digital and intellectual educational resources as the primary providers. It utilises the "Three Classrooms" initiative and AI platform tools as delivery vehicles to achieve cross-regional sharing of high-quality resources. Feasible strategies are outlined across policy funding guarantees, teacher training, home-school collaboration, and exemplary leadership. These measures aim to promote the balanced allocation of urban-rural educational resources, thereby supporting small-scale rural schools in the west to achieve high-quality development characterised by being "small yet excellent".
