教育放弃:部分农村家庭无奈的抉择

Education abandonment: the helpless educational decision that the country families have to make

农村家庭由于受家庭经济状况、子女大学毕业后找不到工作的风险等因素的限制,其中部分家庭被迫在子女初中毕业后即做出了放弃高中教育机会的抉择。调查分析表明:农村家庭承担高等教育成本不断提高与对高等教育期望收益值却明显降低是产生这一问题的直接原因。农村家庭的教育放弃使其子女无法通过接受高等教育来实现自身向上层社会的流动,造成社会阶层固化,对社会的稳定与和谐构成潜在的威胁。

Some rural families are forced to make decisions to abandon the rights of their children for the high school education after they graduatefrom junior middle school. That situation, in some degree, result from the conditions of the rural families＇ economy, their limited judgment of the job-hunting circumstances after graduating from universities, and the unacceptance of the risk that their kids cannot find jobs when they graduate. The research shows： the direct reason for this problem is that the cost of the higher education is higher than the benefit from it. The decision of the higher education abandonment causes that their children cannot realize their movement forward to the higher society class in the way of being educated in the universities. And this can fix the social classification and threats the stability and harmony of the society.
