ABSTRACT

This chapter is a conclusion chapter. This chapter concludes that rural migrant children have not yet developed a critical state of class consciousness that challenges the current unequal society with the commitment to transforming the whole oppressed working class, although their awareness of inequalities provides a significant foundation for doing so. Also, this chapter argues that the difficulties and possibilities of transforming rural migrant children’s awareness into critical reflections and actions need to be further situated into their dynamic, ongoing interactions with the multiple embedding contexts (school, family, and the broader society), which is dominated by the ideology of meritocracy and lacks a critical class discourse.
