Phenomenon and Correction of the"Idling"of the Implementation of Compulsory Education Policy to Benefit Farmers:An Analysis from the Perspective of the Urbanization Process
As the key to promote urban and rural education equity, compulsory education policy to benefit farmers has been implemented for many years. However, with the rapid development of urbanization, there are problems about migrant children and lift-behind children. This policy has fallen into the dilemma of implemen-tation"idling", which is specifically manifested in the following aspects: the lack of goal precision and times adaptability in some preferential measures, the difficulty in equitably benefiting the floating population with compulsory education resources in urban schools, and the unsolved dilemma of weak quality and insufficient quantity of compulsory education for left-behind children. On the basis of The Smith Policy-Implementing-Pro-cess Framework and from the perspective of policy implementation, it is found that the negative supply of public services, the lack of top-level design, the excessive financial pressure on destination areas, and the insufficient collective action capacity of migrant workers are the main reasons for the"idling"of the implementation of this policy. Accordingly, four corrective approaches on the basis of the urbanization process are proposed:promoting higher quality urbanization, allowing farmers to have more opportunity to participate in the public decision-making system, establishing a sound funding guarantee mechanism, and eliminating social discrimination, with the aim of improving the effectiveness of the implementation of compulsory education policy to benefit farmers .
