The objective of this research is to explain the hope that urban poor people want to obtain something from educating their children and the educational efforts that they act to their children.
This research had been done by interviewing the dweller at the five areas in the city of Dae-Gu.
The dwellers who live in the sqatter district believe that the difficulty that they have had, because they didn't have high educational level, can be settled by educating their children. And they give them their strong efforts to have stable occupation, to be cultured, to get good advantage in the human relationship.
To have stable occupation means that they can attain good job and have the equal opportunity in the promotion and wage. In their view, they consider an occupation like office-clerk as a good job by which they can escape from strong physical labor and the poverty of their generation.
The advantage of human-relationship obtained by high level education is to have other-relationship to succeed in his life such as some good friends and alumni. And there is another benefit which is nonignorance because of his high degree.
The dweller who lives in this region feel being ignored by the persons who have a high degree and they feel so pitiful because they don't have any high educated friend who can help them when they hit on a problem in their life.
To be cultured means not to have "desperate", that is, the cultured men can have the ability to solve their problems which can occur in their ordinary life and to express their opinions exactly. They can not be consider as the person who has "short-thought".
Since they have the above causes, they are eager to have their children go to a college or a university to get a high education degree. But this kind of effort was seldom found in their real act.
The reasons are following.
Their mother and father are working in their own jobs because of their economic difficulty, so they can rarely find the time to help their children study and they don't know an effective instruct method because they don't have a high education. Eventhough they feel being disappointed in their children's achievement, there are a few people who want to have interview and consult with school teachers. Besides, they can't get any help from their friends and neighbors because they are also the same situations.
Since they are so busy in making both ends meet, the parent were not interested in their children's daily life such as the future desire, grade in their class, friend-relationship and school life.
These kinds of disconcerns make their children's school records low as they go to the upper grade. The other reasons to make their record low are that they don't have any well-equipped room to study and furthermore, they start their school life without any well-equipment.
The parent's hope that their children go to a college or university and have good stable job which is different from theirs is frustrated by the low school record. After hitting on this state, the parent supervise their children but this is just a temporary act.
They want their children to have an additional education at a private institute or by a tutor, but their economic difficulty cannot be allowed to have this.
After all, the parent abandon their study at a college or a university, they accommodate their children to going to a vocational high school. Eventhough their children have a sufficient ability, they hesitate for their children to go to a college or a university because there is a huge attain expense.
The parent show their complaint about the realities that they can't get social-acknowledgement without a degree from a college or a university and they can't give their children good schooling background.
They also think that they didn't fulfill their obligations that they should provide their children with a good opportunity to have a high education.
In spite of the above reasons, they compromise with their situations and they hope their children to have the better life than that of their generation because there are more present opportunities of employment even if they don't have any degree from a college or a university.
