In general, teachersâ work in migrant schools is similar to other forms of migrant labor in China, characterized by low pay, long hours, high work intensity, and lack of job security. The article concludes by assessing the divergent politics of migration in each city while considering the implications for socioeconomic inequality. Many profiteering principals viewed their migrant schools as a business, their students as customers, and school fees as revenue. 'The principal where I work is very young and just graduated from a nearby Beijing university.' Said Wu, an English teacher at a migrant school in Beijing.
Migrant Schools (simplified Chinese: åæ°å·¥åå¼å¦æ ¡; traditional Chinese: è¾²æ°å·¥åå¼å¸æ ¡) 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.[1]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 ('Hukou'). However, for those migrant workers (Mingong), 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.[1][2]Mac disconnects from wifi.
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.[3][4] A research suggested that the education quality of these schools are far below the average.[5]
