中国出生人口下降和农村人口城镇化迁移导致教育资源过剩问题日益突出。2024年至2025年全国普通小学减少约8000所，近5年间累计减少2.97万所1。随着中国小学在校生规模在2023年达到高峰后回落1，大量乡村校舍面临闲置。
为充分利用这些闲置资源，多地开始将乡村校舍改建为养老院、养老中心、长者食堂等养老设施，以应对人口结构变化带来的养老需求1。云南永仁县和宁夏西吉等地已推出闲置校舍活化模式，将校舍转变为养老服务载体1。云南永仁县118所闲置校舍中已有100所完成了这一转变1。相比新建养老场所，乡村校舍改造成本远低于从零新建1，使这一模式更加可行。
China's changing demographic landscape has prompted widespread repurposing of abandoned school buildings into nursing homes and senior care centers. The nation's declining birth rate and continued rural-to-urban migration have resulted in the closure of approximately 29,700 primary schools over the past five years, with roughly 8,000 schools shutting down between 2024 and 2025 alone 1. As enrollment peaked in 2023, vast numbers of rural school facilities have become surplus to education needs 1.
Several provinces have begun converting these idle campuses into senior care infrastructure to address growing elderly welfare demands. In Yunnan's Yongren County, 100 of the 118 shuttered school buildings have already been repurposed into new facilities 1. Similar initiatives have been launched in Xiji County in Ningxia, where school-to-elder-care transformations provide an economical solution 1. The conversion model has proven cost-effective, as renovating existing school structures requires significantly less investment than constructing new elderly care facilities from scratch 1. These repurposed sites now serve functions including nursing homes, elderly care centers, and communal dining halls for seniors 1.
