In the new era, educational fortification, as a strategic measure to promote the socio-economic development of border areas, has increasingly attracted attention. This paper systematically explores the path of educational fortification from three aspects: theoretical foundation, practical pathways, and innovative practices. Initially, the paper elucidates the theoretical origins, core concepts, and values of educational fortification, and constructs a theoretical model and analytical framework. The paper then analyzes the allocation and optimization strategies of educational resources in border areas, teacher team development, enhancement of student educational quality, and the synergistic effects of education with regional socio-economic development. Lastly, the paper discusses the application and promotion of intelligent education, multicultural education, and educational poverty alleviation in border areas. By integrating theory and practice, the paper proposes effective pathways for educational fortification, providing a reference for the development of education in border areas under the new era context.
