Towards equity: overcoming educational disparities faced by China's migrant and left-behind children
Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v6i7.2553
Abstract
China's hukou system used to create significant inequalities in access to education and social resources for left-behind and migrant children. This paper addresses these challenges and how Chinese governments have done over the years to eliminate the policy and social discrimination. Also, the paper proposes essential acts to improve the situation, such as enhancing policy support, prohibiting discriminatory sponsorship fees, and completion of laws.
