The education of left-behind children is an important issue in the development of education at present. The emergence of left-behind children is caused by economic transformation and social development. Rural people have always be willing to change their living conditions and improve their living standards, so the parents of rural children have to leave their hometown and come to the city to find a better chance to make a living, but some rural parents are still engaged in the rural orchards, small workshops and other self-employed business. Whether migrant workers or start a small business, or stay in the countryside to operate small business, child's education is bound to be affected to some extent, as a result, the vast majority of the seventy percent of the rural parents wish their children to be looked after by old people, and the parents are not at home for a long time, so they can't take care of the children in learning and life. As a compulsory education worker, we should understand the characteristics of left-behind children and carry out an analysis and research on the education of left-behind children.
