Government Guarantee System for Rural Left-behind Children’s Right to Receive Education: Status Quo, Deficiencies and Suggestions

Abstract

The growing economic and social development has led to an increasing number of rural Left-behind children, causing a lot of problems, and the issue of education is the most prominent one that gains more and more attention from the whole society. The rural revitalization strategy cannot progress well without revitalizing education. Guaranteeing the right to receive education for children left behind is a prerequisite and basis for optimizing the education in rural areas. In recent years central government has issued a number of directives and ordinances that play a positive role in effectively protecting the educational rights and interests of rural left behind children. This paper aims to analyze the current situation and content of the government guarantee system that ensures the right to education of rural left behind children from a macro perspective, evaluate on its shortcomings and put forward relevant suggestions.
