3. Dandelion School: A school for children from poor Chinese
farmers.
Background
There are 1.3 billion migrant population in China currently. Among them 80,000,000 are peasant
workers, and over 20,000,000 are children of school age. About 25% of them are living under poverty
line. According to China's education law, nine years of compulsory education is a basic right for
children. However, the right-to-education of the children from poor migrant families has been largely
neglected.
The current residential registration system and low level of income are the two major barriers for these
children to enter either public schools or private schools. Desirable policies and actions that can move
toward solving this problem are not in position yet.

5. Disparity in wealth and the fate
of children
Children’s fate depends on what university/
college they go to get their degree. Jobs there
are hard to get and many are rejected just by
their university. The better they score on the
national college test (The Chinese Proficiency Test (HSK)),
the better chance to earn more money. Students
who fail and don’t go to school end up working in
sweatshops, farms,or restaurants.
6. Teach for China is a non-
profit organization that hire
teachers, educators, etc. to
go to China to help give kids
in rural areas an education
that will help them succeed
in life.
