France24: Education discrimination against children of migrant workers

This report by France24 throws light on what migrant workers who are resident in big cities like Shanghai and Beijing but lack the proper hukou documents go through to put their children in school. The schools which will accept their children run outside of the state education system and charge a monthly fee of RMB100 — no small sum for parents on migrant worker salaries. Schools like the one featured in this report may soon become a thing of the past though as the government mulls changes to grant children of migrant workers full access to state education.
