Market reform, financial decentralization, and economic
globalization have greatly accentuated China's social and regional
inequalities. Education is expected to address these inequalities
in a context of rapid social change, including the rise of an urban
middle class, changed status of women, resurgence of ethnic
identities, growing rural to urban migration, and lingering poverty
in remote areas. But some argue that state policies have not
sufficiently addressed inequitable practices, and that schools
actually perpetuate and reproduce inequities, giving rise to a new
system of social stratification driven more by market forces than
socialist principles. Featuring all original, previously
unpublished material, this volume examines this argument through
analysis of selected aspects of educational stratification in China
during the reform era. Chapters focus on the new urban middle
class, poor rural residents, the migrant population in urban areas,
rural girls, and ethnic minorities. The contributors are
established scholars in the field, and they build a conceptual
framework for assessing the degree to which China's educational
reforms are inclusive, equitable, and integrative across social
categories and groups.
