Educating Migrant Children in Urban Public Schools in China: Unravelling the Implementation Paradox (2018)Paperback - 2018, 2 July 2018

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.
