In this context, EMI research seems to be condensed on problem identification and trends, focusing on English language issues, pedagogical challenges, and stakeholder perceptions. This narrow focus appears to have reached a saturation point, underscoring the need for a reform-driven approach—one that prioritises structural transformation and problem-solving. Addressing this gap, this political normative paper argues that the professionalisation of EMI at the tertiary level represents the way forward. Situated within the broader contexts of global capitalism and neoliberalism, this paper takes a Critical EMI stance to examine the role of EMI in higher education. It proposes a structured, solution-oriented approach, grounded in three interrelated critical concepts: multilingualism, universities as sites for liberation, and English as an international language. EMI policy and quality are structured around three cyclic stages, with academic learning outcomes at the core. Rather than offering a rigid framework, this paper introduces the EMI Professionalisation Framework (EMI ProF) as a guiding political normative model informed by prior research to drive the EMI reform and support the professionalisation agenda. Key definitions of EMI quality, professionalisation of EMI, EMI professionals, and EMI content-teacher competence are provided.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48004,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Educational Development","volume":"115 ","pages":"Article 103276"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143816980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Key findings reveal that feelings of safety in school latrines are critical predictors of attendance, with those feeling safe while menstruating exhibiting notably higher odds of attending school during menstruation. Conversely, feelings of shame significantly decreased the odds of attendance. Age also played a positive role, with each additional year correlating with an increased likelihood of attending school. In a comprehensive model, safety in school latrines during menstruation emerged as the most influential factor, whereas the negative impact of shame, although reduced, remained significant. These findings underscore the importance of addressing both physical infrastructure (e.g., safe, private latrines) and psychosocial barriers (e.g., stigma and shame) to support educational outcomes for menstruating girls.

Previous studies have attributed the poor academic performance of migrant children to the Hukou system, which has historically excluded them from accessing public educational resources in urban areas. Although the Chinese government has gradually relaxed the control of the Hukou system, migrant children still face difficulties in gaining admission to universities. According to the <em>China Rural Education Development Report</em> (2020–2022), in 2021, there were 1.59 million rural migrant junior high school graduates nationwide, but only 584,300 were admitted to general high schools, resulting in an admission rate of just 41.15 %. This statistic underscores the structural inequalities within the education system, as migrant children are disproportionately directed toward vocational education rather than higher academic pathways. This article aims to investigate the relationship between school curriculum and migrant children’s academic achievements by participating into their school life. The finding reveals that school curriculum potentially discriminates against migrant children, effectively excluding them from access to universities in order to maintain social division.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48004,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Educational Development","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 103268"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143704802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
