Results were obtained through semi-structured interviews with university students and key staff members. Findings indicated that students have access to various financing options, with scholarships and student loans being the primary forms of financial support concerning equity and inclusion. Thus, financial aid was found to be highly effective in ensuring equitable access, with a high implication on the ongoing discourse on the influence of financial support on student success, and thus the obtained results suggest strategic policy measures to be employed by government, universities, and quality community training on the available financial inclusion options aimed at fostering equitable access to higher education institutions in Uganda.</p> 2025-07-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 https://www.paradigmpress.org/rae/article/view/1680 Research on the Theoretical Construction and Practical Path of Cultivating Top Notch Innovative Talents from the Perspective of Mathematics 2025-07-08T01:50:03+00:00 Chaofan Xu 5432@yy.com <p>The cultivation of top-notch innovative talents is the core task of the strategy of building a strong education country in the new era. This article takes mathematics as a carrier and combines cognitive development theory, innovation ecosystem theory, and international experience to systematically explore the core characteristics, training difficulties, and breakthrough paths of top-notch innovative talents. By using case analysis and comparative research methods, a three-dimensional training framework based on “differentiated curriculum system project-based learning mode mentorship support network” is proposed. Research has found that the logical abstraction and problem-solving orientation of mathematics can effectively stimulate innovative thinking, but paradigm innovation needs to be achieved through dynamic selection mechanisms, interdisciplinary integration, and evaluation system reforms. This study provides theoretical support and practical reference for the cultivation of top talents in mathematics and related fields.</p> 2025-07-08T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025
