Educating Migrant Children in Urban Public Schools in China [electronic resource] : Unravelling the Implementation Paradox /
Hu, Bo.author.
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.
