In the first decade of the twenty-first century, the People's
Republic of China experienced dramatic growth and expansion that
altered the educational environment of children. Rapid economic
development increased prosperity and educational opportunities for
children expanded in a wealthier society. Yet, a by-product of
rising wealth was rising inequality. While the children of the
emerging urban middle and elite classes enjoyed new prosperity, the
children of hte persistently poor in rural communities continued to
experience challenges such as food insecurity, illness, hardships
of family separation, and migrant life on the margins of the
cities. This time period saw a large resource gap emerge between
the home conditions of poor rural children compared with those of
their wealthier urban counterparts. This book highlights the
complexities China has experienced in seeking to extend full
educational access to rural children- including rural- to- urban
migrant and ethnic minority children-during a momentous period in
China. Chapters delve into the experiences, perceptions,
strategies, and diffi culties of rural- origin children and their
families in the school system, and lay bare the challenges of
policy initiatives designed to support rural education. We hope the
experiences detailed here will be of interest to students and
scholars of rural educational policy and practice in China and
worldwide.
