Research on the Phenomenon of Educational Migration in China

Abstract

In recent years, Chinas educational migration project has narrowed the gap in educational resources between regions and successfully reduced the incidence of poverty. However, students who participate in educational migration need to leave their original learning and living environment, and in such a context, they often face cultural adaptation issues. As migrants, the new living environment can make them feel unfamiliar and even require them to give up traditional living habits; as students, a decrease in the frequency of interaction with family can have a negative impact on their physical and mental development, and ethnic minority students may also face communication difficulties due to language barriers. Educational migrant students, educational migrant receiving schools, and relocation areas are the three main bodies of the educational migrant project. This paper uses qualitative analysis to analyze the cultural adaptation, psychological education, and human resource loss issues in relocation areas, and proposes targeted suggestions on how to better integrate these three bodies with the educational migrant project. Schools that receive educational migrants need to actively take measures to ensure teaching effectiveness, such as strengthening infrastructure construction, improving students cultural adaptability, conducting psychological counseling courses, and encouraging some vocational education graduates to return to their hometowns for employment to solve the problem of human resource loss.
