Study On The Influence Of Migration On The Migrant Workers’ Children’s Education Results

In order to ensure the free flow of migrant workers’ children with their parents and the protection of migrant workers’ children’s right to education in the city,the Decision on the Reform and Development of Basic Education issued by the State Council in 2001 clearly stated the ’two priorities’ policy.Since then,migrant workers’ children can enter the city life and study with their parents.When migrant children enter the city,they can not only obtain parents’ care and education,but also enter urban schools for education.Their family life,learning environment and educational resources have changed greatly,which may have a certain impact on their personal growth and education results.Compared with the immediate results of education such as academic performance and cognitive skill,non-cognitive skill,as a long-term result of education,is more important for the future development and educational return of migrant workers’ children.So,compared to left-behind,migrant children will get better education results? Are migration to cities more conducive to the development of children of migrant workers? These are important issues worthy of attention.The study on the impact of migration on the educational results of migrant workers’ children is helpful to improve the quality of migrant workers’ children’s human capital,enhance their competitiveness in the labor market,and provide theoretical reference and empirical analysis basis for the improvement of migrant workers’ children’s education policy and migration protection policy.However,there are relatively few studies on the formation mechanism of educational results in the field of economics,and some studies even delete groups with migrate experience.Adolescent period is a critical period for the formation of individual non-cognitive skill.Effective intervention measures in adolescent period can promote the improvement of individual non-cognitive skill.Unfortunately,the existing research rarely focuses on the non-cognitive skill of children of migrant workers in adolescence.At the same time,there are few literature on the mechanism of the influence path of’migration-education results’.Compared with left-behind children,migrant workers make great changes in the family education process and school education process of migrant workers’ children.In order to explore the impact of migrant workers on the educational results of migrant workers’ children,it is necessary to open the black box of family education process and school education process.Based on the above background,the main research contents of this paper are as follows:The theoretical framework of the influence of migration on the education results of migrant workers’ children is constructed.The influence degree and direction of migration on the education results of migrant workers’ children are further analyzed and deduced.The influence path of family-school education process on the education results is constructed,and the research hypothesis is put forward.Construct a comprehensive measurement index system of adolescents’ non-cognitive skill,and use the data of China Education Panel Survey in 2014 to measure the situation of education results of migrant workers’ children,identify the differences in cognitive and non-cognitive abilities between left-behind and migrant workers’ children,and the characteristics of academic performance.On the basis of index construction,the OLS method is first used to analyze the influence of migration on the three types of education results of migrant workers’ children,and the PSM method is further used to solve the problems of sample self-selection bias and endogeneity,so as to more accurately identify the influence of migration on the education results-cognitive skill,non-cognitive skill and academic performance-of migrant workers’ children.Based on the perspective of education process,this paper uses the multiple mediation effect model to explore the influence and contribution of family education process and school education process on cognition,non-cognitive skill and academic performance,and identify the path of migrant workers’ children’ s education results.The main conclusions of this study are as follows :(1)The migration has a significant positive impact on the educational results of the children of migrant workers.Migration is conducive to the development of migrant workers’ children’s non-cognitive skill.Compared with left-behind children,migration with their parents is more conducive to the improvement of their non-cognitive skill.At the same time,the migration has a significant positive impact on the academic performance and cognitive skill of the children of migrant workers.The migration of parents into urban schools helps to improve the three main courses,total scores and cognitive skill of the children of migrant workers.(2)Based on the analysis results of the multiple mediation model,the family-school education process and school education process of migrant children have great changes compared with those of left-behind children.The family-school education process plays a significant mediating effect in the influence path of ’migration-academic performance’.(3)For different educational results,the influence of home-school education process is different,the focus is different.In the effect of migrant children’ s non-cognitive skill,the cumulative mediating effect of family education process is significant,but the effect of school education process is not significant,so the family education process plays a more important role in improving the non-cognitive skill of migrant children.Compared with family education,school education plays a more important role in improving the academic performance and cognitive skill of migrant workers’ children.Based on the main conclusions of this paper,some suggestions are put forward :playing the leading role of the government to reduce the obstacles of migrant workers’ children’s entrance and protect their right to education in the city.The education resources are appropriate to the group.Improving the security policy for migrant workers,encouraging the overall migration of migrant families,giving appropriate subsidies to specific groups of teachers,attracting more excellent teacher resources,improving the quality of teachers and teaching level of migrant children in schools.
