Abstract: For students from single parent families, it is difficult to achieve better academic performance than those from intact families. In order to investigate the educational issues of single parent students and the impact of implementing sustainable development education on single parent students at Ningxia Polytechnic, this study selected 15 students, 5 teachers, and 5 student managers from Ningxia Polytechnic as research subjects. Qualitative interviews were conducted to explore and analyze the sustainable development of single parent vocational school students and how to promote sustainable development by providing inclusive education opportunities. The counselors and teachers at Ningxia Polytechnic have done a great job in helping students. Therefore, this study not only analyzed the subjective and objective reasons why single parent students at Ningxia Polytechnic are prone to become problem students in receiving sustainable development education, such as abnormal family environments and mistakes in school education work, but also proposed corresponding strategies for educating single parent students. This research has found that sustainable development education is highly effective in improving the academic performance, social and emotional well-being, and future prospects of these students. By considering the unique needs of students from single parent families, this study also gets the conclusion that sustainable development education is very important in addressing educational inequality. Finally, this study provides guidances for educators on how to educate students from single parent families and ensure their healthy growth, such as updating the concept of vocational education, reforming the curriculum model and teaching system, establishing the task of sustainable development education teaching, adopting inclusive education approach, and so forth. In future research, how to combine age characteristics to do a good job in educating students from single parent families is an urgent problem that vocational school educators need to solve.
