Migrant Children Receive Compulsory Education And Balanced Development Of Education,

China is experiencing a tendency that more peasant-workers, with their school-aged children, are settling in cities for the sake of employment. To satisfy the requirements of a harmonious society establishment, education equalization and development standardization, the Council has urged all local authorities to improve their education service to provide more education opportunities for these children. With Shanghai government's reaction to the policy, Pudong New Area has put more emphasis on the enrollment of these children, which has exaggerated the scale of receiving nine-year compulsory education among these peasant-workers'children in this city. Trying to offer some proposals, the author analyzes the history on compulsory education and the development of concerned policies after investigating related primary and junior middle schools, as well as some of the peasant-workers'children and their parents. The thesis focuses on figuring out the obstacles and problems involved in popularizing the nine-year compulsory education among the peasant-workers'children in cities and providing some possible solution to them.
