報告指出 我國流動兒童進公校讀書難

More than 2 million children of migrant workers in China are unable to enroll in public primary or junior schools in the cities where their parents live, according to a report.

一份報告指出，我國有超過200萬外來務工人員子女未能進入父母現居住城市的公辦小學或初中就讀。

The Blue Book of Migrant Children, released last Tuesday by the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said that only 80% of migrant children who qualify for nine-year compulsory education as of 2014 could attend public schools where their parents live.

21世紀教育研究院上週二發佈的流動兒童藍皮書稱，截至2014年，九年義務教育階段流動兒童在父母現居住地公辦學校就讀的比例僅爲80%。

Others had to turn to private schools or ones set up specifically for migrant workers' children, which are usually poorly constructed and of low educational quality.

其餘的流動兒童只能在民辦學校或者打工子弟學校就讀，這些學校通常條件簡陋、教育品質低。

Data presented by the report showed that China's migrant population reached 247 million in October 2015, and the number of their children - migrant children and left-behind children - totaled about 100 million.

藍皮書給出的數據顯示，2015年10月，全國流動人口總量達2.47億，作爲流動人口子女的流動兒童和留守兒童這兩個羣體總數約1億人。

The report said a lack of family guidance has also affected the children's growth.

該報告指出，缺乏家庭輔導也會影響兒童的成長。

It said parents have high expectations of their children but could not provide sufficient support for them, and that they pay more attention to the results instead of process.

父母對於他們的孩子有很高的期望，但不能爲他們提供足夠的支持，他們更加註重結果而不是過程。

The government should narrow the gap between investment in urban and rural education and spare no effort in providing a balance, said Lu Jianfei, a professor at Shanghai Normal University who led the research.

主導該研究的上海師範大學教授陸建非表示，政府應該縮小城市和農村的教育投資差距，並不遺餘力的提供一種平衡。
