Educating Migrant Children in Urban Public Schools in China: Unravelling the Implementation Paradox (SpringerBriefs in Education)

Educating Migrant Children in Urban Public Schools in China: Unravelling the Implementation Paradox (SpringerBriefs in Education)

by Bo Hu (Author), Bo Hu (Author)

Synopsis

This book investigates the implementation of the education policy for migrant children, arguing that it has been selectively implemented: while some policy themes have been effectively implemented, others have not. Four factors underlie this selective implementation: specificity of policy goals, funding for education, local incentives in an exam-oriented education system, and intergroup relationships between migrant and urban children.
