This paper analyzes the characteristics of rural left - behind children from CEPS data, focusing on the relationship between family economic status and educational expectation, and analyzes them from the expectation of parental education and the expectation of children 's own education. The results showed that the average family economic level of rural children remained at a moderate level, with 36.3% of households with difficult and very difficult conditions. Parental education expectations and children's own education expectations are higher, especially the very difficult families have a strong demand for higher education. In the crucial stage of poverty alleviation, more attention should be paid to the special group of left-behind children, and education should play an important role in poverty alleviation.
