The study found that there are structural differences in the overall application of policy tools, and the use of policy tool's points is highlighted. Policy tools are widely used in the education of public service systems, and policy tools tend to diversify. The evolution of the application of policy tools matches the development stage of the policies of migrant children basically, and the application of policy tools changes with the changes in policies. To enhance the appropriateness and stability of the educational policy tool system for migrant children, it is recommended that the government should continually optimize the mix of policy tools and coordinate the application of policy tools across subsystems.
