Education problems with urban migratory children in China

http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0CYZ/is_3_32/ai_n15397207/

In this article it goes on to say that people in China are having trouble on how to teach and get the migratory children up to speed with the rest of China's children. Out of 120 million migrant workers 2.4 - 2.6 million are school aged children. And they are not receiving the same level of education as the rest of the students in China. This is an epidemic for the simple fact that millions of children are receiving spotty education. They are not receiving the same level and rigor of education as the rest of the kids. It is not fair that these kids have to suffer. Why not break the pattern? How are they supposed to be anything but a migrant worker if they are not giving and education? It is not fair and China needs to figure out a solution that makes it better for these children. They shouldn’t be discriminated against just because of what their families occupation is.

  1. Alexa,
    You are doing a great job in your blog reflections. You have found some great articles related to education too. I like how you are doing summaries from class too and reflecting on the class discussions. Keep up the good work!
