A recent survey conducted in east China's Qingdao shows most
migrant workers' children find it hard to get an education in the
city.
The results show only 15 percent of migrant workers' children
manage to get education in the city and stay with their migrant
parents.
Many interviewees say the main problem is financial and they are
hoping to get assistance from the government and society.
The Qingdao government has issued regulations banning all
schools from refusing migrant workers' children.
In the meantime, it asks them to charge the same tuition fee as
those children from the city.
