Abstract：Based on the baseline data of China Education Panel Survey (CEPS) 2013－2014， this paper analyzes the relationship between the school education policies in the city and the long-term educational ideals and short-term educational expectations of migrant workers’ children. It is found that the first-generation migrant children have higher long-term educational expectations， compared with the second-generation migrant children. But there is no significant difference in their short-term aspirations. The requirements for school entrance stimulate the migrant children’s educational expectations， but they have a negative impact on children who have migrated in preschool stage； school subsidies have no positive effect on migrant children’s educational expectations； loose entrance policies have a positive effect on migrant children’s long-term educational ideals and short-term willingness to enter senior high school. However， only loosening restrictions to the vocational and technical senior high schools cannot have an incentive effect on the educational expectations of migrant children. This study suggests that we give full play to the incentive effect of the entrance requirements， enhance the effectiveness of school subsidies， and make vocational education an “overpass” for migrant children’s success after the compulsory education， so as to stimulate migrant children’s urban educational dreams and promote their educational and social mobility.
