Chinese Internal Rural Migrant Children and Their Access to Compulsory Education
CHINESE INTERNAL RURAL MIGRANT CHILDREN AND THEIR ACCESS TO COMPULSORY EDUCATION By Wenxin Li, Queen Mary, University of London Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Declaration I declare that the work present in this thesis is my own. Any work from other authors is duly referenced and acknowledged. Name: Wenxin Li Date: 2 Abstract CHINESE INTERNAL RURAL MIGRANT CHILDREN AND THEIR ACCESS TO COMPULSORY EDUCATION During a period of unprecedented rapid urbanisation and social transformation in China, this thesis considers the children of internal rural migrants and their access to compulsory education in the regions where they settle. There are currently 38 million such children. Institutional and systemic challenges often bar them from receiving an education of adequate quality, equal to that of their peers. The thesis reviews the legal and regulatory framework covering childrens’ right to education at both international and national domestic levels. It then describes the actual experience of internal migrant children attempting to access schools, and analyses the main factors barring them from the education they are entitled to. These barriers are categorised in a ‘4-A’ conceptual framework – Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability, Adaptability. The research draws on a range of secondary data, supplemented by interviews conducted with personnel engaged in education in Beijing. The main findings are that, though the legal framework of rights is generally sufficient, inadequate institutional and normative arrangements and lack of government accountability (at all levels) work together to hinder proper implementation of relevant laws and regulations. The problem is exacerbated by the institutional barrier of hukou- based enrolment and registration, and deepened even further by the current cadre and local governance arrangements, with the information asymmetry they engender. -

It gives special attention to elderly people’s embodied agency in assimilating, challenging, and resisting political and social discourses about getting old. In most general terms my argument is that embodied agency is expressed by participating in daily health regimens referred to as yangsheng. With its origins in ancient Chinese medical texts and health practices, but also having incorporated many modern elements, yangsheng may be understood as a system of beliefs and practices designed for self-health cultivation. In light of major anthropological theories that provide an understanding of biopower, somatization and agency my argument is two fold. First, the state discourse on healthy aging, prompted by social, economic and demographic changes, has had a tremendous effect on how the elderly think and act with reference to their physical and mental health. -
