Book Synopsis The Education of Migrant Children and China's Future by : Holly H. Ming
Download or read book The Education of Migrant Children and China's Future written by Holly H. Ming and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-17 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are more than 225 million rural-to-urban migrant workers, and some 20 million migrant children in Chinese cities. Because of policies related to the household registration (hukou) system, migrant students are not allowed a public high school education in the cities, so their urban education stops abruptly at the end of middle school. This book investigates the post-middle school education and labor market decisions of migrant students in Beijing and Shanghai, and provides a glimpse into the future of a crucial link in China’s development. The stories of how these migrant students seek upward mobility and urban citizenship also reveal one of the most intricate structural inequalities in China today. Based on quantitative data collected from middle schools in Beijing and Shanghai, and ethnographic data drawing on in-depth interviews with migrant children, their parents, and teachers, this book offers a portrait of the migration and educational experiences and prospects of second generation migrant youth in China today. It explores the urban experience of migrant students, contrasting it with that of local city youngsters, examining the migrant students’ family backgrounds, family dynamics, neighborhood and school experience, and interaction with locals. It goes on to look at the migrant students’ education and career aspirations, the structural obstacles preventing their fulfilment, and how migrant families respond to institutional constraints on educational opportunity. Finally, the book concludes with a discussion of policy implications and offers proposals for resolving the dilemmas of migrant youth. This book will of great interest to students and scholars of Chinese studies, Asian education, migration and social development.

Book Synopsis Migrant Children in State/Quasi-state Schools in Urban China by : Hui Yu
Download or read book Migrant Children in State/Quasi-state Schools in Urban China written by Hui Yu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highlighting the changing landscape of Chinese urban state schools under the pressure of recruiting a tremendous number of migrant children, this book examines the quality of state educational provisions from demographic, institutional, familial and cultural angles. Rooted in rich qualitative data from five Chinese metropolitan cities, it identifies the demographic changes in many state schools of becoming ‘migrant majority’ and the institutional reformation of ‘interim quasi-state’ schools under a low cost and inferior schooling approach. This book also digs into the ‘black box’ of cultural reproduction in school and family processes, revealing both a gloomy side of many migrant children’s academic underachievement as a result of troubled home-school relations and a bright side that social inclusion of migrant children in state school promotes their adaptation to urban life. The author concludes that migrant children’s experiences in state (and quasi-state) schools turn them into a generation of ‘new urban working-class’. The monograph will be of interest to scholars, students, practitioners and policymakers who want to better understand educational equality for migrants and other marginalised groups.
Book Synopsis Educating the Children of Migrant Workers in Beijing by : Myra Pong
Download or read book Educating the Children of Migrant Workers in Beijing written by Myra Pong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educating the Children of Migrant Workers in Beijing is a timely book that addresses the gap in the provision of basic education to migrant children in China. It examines the case of Beijing, with a focus on policy implementation at the municipal and district levels and its impacts on migrant schools and their students. Rural migrant workers in the cities usually lack local hukou (household registration) and face serious obstacles in accessing basic social services, including schooling for their children. The educational situation of these children, however, can vary both across and within localities, and, despite policies and regulations from the central government, there have emerged broad and sometimes even extreme differences in the implementation of these policies at the local levels. This book uses evidence from qualitative interviews and the analysis of policy documents and materials to provide readers with a rare glimpse into the local politics surrounding migrant children’s education in China’s political center, including the nature of and motives behind policy implementation at the municipal and district levels and the implications for the survival and development of migrant schools in the city. Educating the Children of Migrant Workers in Beijing is a unique and in-depth contribution to an important area and will appeal to scholars and students across a range of disciplines, including China studies, migration studies, education, social policy, and development studies, as well as to practitioners and policymakers working on migrant issues and social welfare provision in China.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores social citizenship through the lens of investigating local compulsory education policy targeting migrant children in Beijing and Guangzhou. Deploying a multi-case methodology, this book illustrates how these two local governments respond to central decisions on compulsory education for migrant children, the implementation models they employ and the impact of this unique practice on social citizenship boundary redefinition through single- and cross-case analysis. It helps readers understand the evolution of compulsory education policy and its effects on access to schooling for migrant children and clearly illustrates this policy’s implications for social citizenship. Revealing the important relationship between the central and lower levels of government in China, this book will appeal to students and scholars of education, social policy, as well as those with an interest in Chinese culture and society.
Book Synopsis Research on Migrant Children’s Educational Choices and Fiscal Policy by : Hui Zhang
Download or read book Research on Migrant Children’s Educational Choices and Fiscal Policy written by Hui Zhang and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from global insights and the education supply and demand theory, this book investigates migrant children’s education in China, as well as the educational financial policies, which serves as both a background and possible solutions. From a comparative perspective, the education fiscal policies regarding issues with migrant/immigrant students and inequality in the United States and Europe were first examined, before comprehensive theoretical framework is constructed to evaluate the government and public schools’ input and migrant children’s educational demand in China. Their school choices, academic performances, educational choices and impact factors from the perspectives of class, gender, society and family are then discussed in depth. By tracing back to previous fiscal policies regarding migrant children in China and local policies in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the author further interrogates the existing challenges, possible strategies and solutions. This book will appeal to scholars of education economics, education policy, educational equality and those who're generally interested in Chinese education and society.

Book Synopsis Education and Reform in China by : Emily Hannum
Download or read book Education and Reform in China written by Emily Hannum and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transformative market reforms in China since the late 1970s have improved living standards dramatically, but have also led to unprecedented economic inequality. During this period, China’s educational system was restructured to support economic development, with educational reforms occurring at a startling pace. Today, the educational system has diversified in structure, finance, and content; it has become more market-oriented; and it is serving an increasingly diverse student population. These changes carry significant consequences for China’s social mobility and inequality, and future economic prospects. In Education and Reform in China, leading scholars in the fields of education, sociology, demography, and economics investigate the evolution of educational access and attainment, educational quality, and the economic consequences of being educated. Education and Reform in China shows that economic advancement is increasingly tied to education in China, even as educational services are increasingly marketized. The volume investigates the varying impact of change for different social, ethnic, economic and geographic groups. Offering interdisciplinary views on the changing role of education in Chinese society, and on China’s educational achievements and policy challenges, this book will be an important resource for those interested in education, public policy, and development issues in China.

Book Synopsis Education Problems of Migrant Children in China by : Yuancheng Gao
Download or read book Education Problems of Migrant Children in China written by Yuancheng Gao and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the large-scale migration of the population and the migration of migrant workers into cities, migrant children’s education has become one of China’s current important issues in education. The paper first reviews the evolution of migrant children's education policies in China and the latest developments in related policies. It also introduces the family education issues and social issues of migrant children and presents the basic overview of migrant children education. The second part of the paper focuses on the specific content of compulsory education for migrant children. These include new conditions and new problems in pre-school education, high school entrance examination policies and compulsory education for migrant children in different regions. In megacities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, the policy of “controlling the population through education” has emerged as a result of the reduce policy to the number of people, which has greatly affected the educational accessibility of migrant children. After 2014, the cities of the Yangtze River Delta, the cities of the Pearl River Delta, and other provincial capital cities have begun to implement a residence permit system, and have set points for admission and points for entry. From the actual situation, this is mainly for highly educated and high-income group, low-educated and low-income migrant workers and their children cannot get the benefits which they deserve from this system. The point system not only fails to provide sufficient educational resources for public schools but also does not allow private schools (migrant children schools) to further develop. The final part of the paper discusses the policy of reforming migrant children's education and also analyzes the different opinions of different scholars. At the end of the article, I put forward my views on the issue of migrant children's education, and suggest a more fundamental way to solve such problems.
Book Synopsis Can Migration Reduce Educational Attainment? by : David J. McKenzie
Download or read book Can Migration Reduce Educational Attainment? written by David J. McKenzie and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2006 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors examine the impact of migration on educational attainment in rural Mexico. Using historical migration rates by state to instrument for current migration, they find evidence of a significant negative effect of migration on schooling attendance and attainment of 12 to 18 year-old boys and 16 to 18 year-old girls. IV-Censored Ordered Probit results show that living in a migrant household lowers the chances of boys completing junior high school and of boys and girls completing high school. The negative effect of migration on schooling is somewhat mitigated for younger girls with low educated mothers, which is consistent with remittances relaxing credit constraints on education investment for the very poor. However, for the majority of rural Mexican children, family migration depresses educational attainment. Comparison of the marginal effects of migration on school attendance and on participation in other activities shows that the observed decrease in schooling of 16 to 18 year-olds is accounted for by the current migration of boys and increased housework for girls.
Book Synopsis The Politics, Practices, and Possibilities of Migrant Children Schools in Contemporary China by : Min Yu
Download or read book The Politics, Practices, and Possibilities of Migrant Children Schools in Contemporary China written by Min Yu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-20 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the AERA Division B Outstanding Book Recognition Award This book examines the dynamics surrounding the education of children in the unofficial schools in China’s urban migrant communities. This ethnographic study focuses on both the complex structural factors impacting the education of children attending unofficial migrant children schools and the personal experiences of individuals working within these communities. As the book illustrates in careful detail, the migrant children schools serve a critical function in the community by serving as a hub for organized collective action around shared grievances related to issues of education, employment, wellbeing, and other social rights. In turn, the development of a collective identity among teachers, students, parents, and other members in the migrant communities makes it possible for activists to begin to working to address multiple forms of discrimination and maltreatment while simultaneously moving towards the possibility of more profound social transformation.
Book Synopsis From Rural to Urban: Education Conditions of Migrant Children in China by : Shuting Wang
Download or read book From Rural to Urban: Education Conditions of Migrant Children in China written by Shuting Wang and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Chinese economic reform, masses of people have moved from rural areas to cities to seek job opportunities, many bringing school-aged children along with them. This migration has promoted the development of urbanization, but also created many education problems for the inflow cities. This study uses government databases and interviews from migrant workers to compare education models of four cities: Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Jiangsu. In particular, this research analyzes the differences between public schools, private schools and migrant children educational experience in different cities. Moreover, the study attempts to find the optimal education model for this group and whether it is applicable to other cities. The findings reveal that even though the education model is unique for every city, the local government should eliminate household registration and increase education funding in order to ensure migrant children receive equal educational access.

Book Synopsis Citizenship Education and Migrant Youth in China by : Miao Li
Download or read book Citizenship Education and Migrant Youth in China written by Miao Li and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In East Asian economies such as China, recent mass rural-urban migration has created a new urban underclass, as have their children. However, their inclusion in urban public schools is a surprisingly slow process, and youth identities in newly industrialized countries remain largely neglected. Faced with monetary and institutional barriers, the majority of migrant youth attend low-quality or underperforming migrant schools, without access to the free compulsory education enjoyed by their urban counterparts. As a result, China’s citizen-building scheme and the sustainability of its labor-intensive economy have greatly impacted global economic restructuring. Using thorough ethnographic research, this volume examines the consequences of urban schooling and citizenship education through which school and social processes contribute to the production of unequal class relations. It explores the nexus of citizenship education and identity-forming practices of poor migrant youth in an attempt to foresee the new class formation in Chinese society. This volume opens up the "black box" of citizenship education in China and examines the effect of school and societal forces on social mobility and life trajectories.
