Abstract

With the acceleration of urbanization, a large number of rural workers have flocked to cities, and the issue of basic education for their children has become increasingly prominent. These children confront with numerous educational inequities for their family background, household registration system, economic conditions, and others. They are at a disadvantage in terms of enrollment opportunities and the distribution of educational resources, furthermore, in psychological support and social integration. This inequality affects the personal development of migrant children and even poses challenges to the stability and harmony of the entire society. Therefore, a deep analysis of the pathways to inequality in basic education for migrant children is of great significance for educational equity and social harmony. This paper aims to provide a reference for the formulation of relevant policies by analyzing the pathways to inequality for migrant children basic education, so as to promote the realization of educational equity.
