China has made a significant contribution to global poverty alleviation. Based on the current situation of the income gap between different regions and between urban and rural areas, China has implemented a targeted poverty alleviation strategy, integrating institutional construction, basic approaches and incentive mechanisms to ensure the realization of the goal— "ending two worries and enjoying three guarantees". Education policy plays an important role in poverty alleviation in China. This paper overviews the education poverty alleviation actions China has carried out in different dimensions, and explores the path of education poverty alleviation with Chinese characteristics. In addition, the paper indicates that the high drop-out of compulsory education in some specific poor areas, the low rate of return on education in poor areas and the difficulty in ensuring the quality of education pose challenges to China's poverty alleviation through education. Japan's practice of improving the quality of rural education provides a reference for China's poverty alleviation.
