Migrant School


Migrant Schools are a type of schools for migrant students in China. The teachers and managers of these schools usually come from countryside, just as the migrant students in these schools.
In China, if a student want to be accepted by a primary school or secondary school, he/she must have a local household registration record. However, for those migrant workers, they and their children usually don't have local household registration record. That means their children will not be accepted by schools in the city they work in. Thus they have to send their children to "Migrant Schools" run privately.
These "Migrant Schools" are usually low-cost. Nevertheless, these schools have many problems: Most teachers in these schools are poor-educated; The classrooms are usually crowded; Many Migrant Schools don't hold a permission issued by the authorities. A research suggested that the education quality of these schools are far below the average.
