Abstract
In the new era, the concept of elderly education is gradually gaining acceptance. From the perspective of Multiple Streams Theory, abundant data not only reveal the severe challenges faced by elderly education but also become key indicators for measuring its development trend. The high public attention and focal events intertwined accelerate the prominence of problem streams. The attention of government departments to elderly education issues, the deep insights and unique suggestions of NPC deputies and experts and scholars provide rich intellectual resources for policy formulation. Additionally, the guidance of advanced party concepts, the solid guarantee of government administration according to law, and the widespread resonance of national emotions together constitute a strong driving force in the political stream. When the problem, policy, and political streams converge, the policy window opens accordingly, initiating a new chapter for the development of elderly education at the national legislative level.
