Can Home Education Guiding Services Enhance Educational Involvement of Parents of Left-Behind Children? An Empirical Analysis Based on Evidence from Hubei Province

Abstract

Amid its economic development and social structural transformation, China has seen an ongoing flow of its rural population into urban areas, instigating the issues of left-behind children and their education. According to relevant field studies, the dearth of home education and weak connections with the school are pervasive in households with left-behind children. This has raised the concern for the inadequate educational involvement of parents of this group in academia. This article is an examination of the effects of home education guiding services on educational involvement of parents of left-behind children from the perspective of family capability development, aiming to provide implications for improving home education guidance for migrant worker parents.
