ABSTRACT This article examines Gambians’ experiences of educational migration to the UK, social reproduction and care, as they organize and map out educational futures transnationally. They do so in order to be in a position to invest in their children's education, with the aim of consolidating and enhancing the family's accumulated wealth and resources across the generations. Access to social, economic and cultural resources can facilitate migration and affect the nature of educational decision-making. Similarly, grandparents may, through transnational care arrangements, look after children who are separated from their parents. Building on the literature, I highlight the way in which parents’ educational and migratory trajectories are entangled with those of their children. It is argued that this entanglement reveals the persistence of the domestic moral economy, informed by intergenerational reciprocity and obligation towards kin. In addition, children's educational futures may be contingent on their parents’ educational strategies and migratory trajectories.

冈比亚的教育移徙,照料与国内道德经济的持续发展

摘要本文探讨了冈比亚人在组织和规划跨国教育前景时在英国教育迁移,社会再生产和医疗方面的经验。他们这样做是为了能够投资于子女的教育,目的是巩固和增进家庭世代相传的积累的财富和资源。获得社会,经济和文化资源可以促进移徙并影响教育决策的性质。同样,祖父母可以通过跨国照料安排照顾与父母失散的孩子。在文献的基础上,我强调了父母的教育和迁徙轨迹与子女的纠缠轨迹。有人认为,这种纠缠揭示了在代际互惠和对亲属的义务下,国内道德经济的持久性。此外,儿童的教育前景可能取决于父母的教育策略和迁徙轨迹。
