A survey on Huacong Town, where our school locates, shows that almost in every family there must be someone working outside, leaving the old and children at home. Taking our school as an example, among the total 1,900 students 910 of them are left-behind children. The number of one parent going out for work covers about 24%, and of both parents going out for work covers nearly 76%.
It is reported that in some schools in the undeveloped regions, the left-behind children cover one third of the total students, and this number is increasing and the children are younger. It is thus noticed that in the vast rural areas in China, the left-behind children cover a big portion and are increasing. Parents who work outside can neither spend so much time nor communicate so much with their children. It can be said that they are far from playing the roles of their children's guardians. The old people staying at home fail to offer a healthy education on them. Both situations will result in their left-behind children's sense of "starving affection", psychological and temperamental imbalance, as well as the influence on study. The special living and education environment where the left-behind children live in have increasingly brought about a series of living, educational, emotional and psychological problems. |
