Educational equity and institutional safeguards

The educational inequity of rural workers’ children is a unique social problem in the transition stage of China. Based on the specific survey in such provinces as Hubei, Henan, Anhui, and other provinces, a conclusion can be drawn that the reasons for the educational inequity of rural worker’s children are very complicated, among which the system is the most essential factor. Therefore, institutional safeguards should be provided to realize the education equity of rural worker’s children. __________ Translated from Jiaoyu Fazhan Yanjiu 教育发展研究 (Research in Educational Development), 2007(12A): 5–9
