Abstract: The metaverse, as a comprehensive application integrating technologies such as artificial intelligence, 5G, virtual reality, and blockchain, consolidates technological potential for empowering the construction of a strong educational nation. To clarify the mechanisms through which the metaverse promotes the development of a powerful educational system, this article reviews the development background of the metaverse from policy and technical perspectives, further revealing the value logic of the metaverse in advancing educational strength. It then examines the practical limits of the metaverse's impact on education, identifying technical shortcomings such as hardware, network transmission, and access limitations, as well as challenges in educational practice including teaching theories, methods, and the technical literacy of teachers and students, alongside a range of ethical issues. Finally, the article proposes future directions for leveraging the metaverse in educational development, focusing on mechanism construction, technology research and development, and educational applications.
