Students participate in a flag-raising ceremony at the Zheng Xing School for children of migrant workers in the outskirts of Beijing, Monday 09 April 2007. The school has three campuses with a total of over 1,200 students. The basic primary education of thousands of such children remains threatened by their legal status as children of migrant workers that lack residence permits in Beijing. Authorities in China's capital shut down over 30 such schools deemed unsafe or unfit last autumn and 10,000 children were unable to attend school. China's economic prosperity in recent years has been largely due to the immense workforce of over 120 million plus migrant workers in the nation's urban areas. EPA/MICHAEL REYNOLDS
