This paper examines how provincial‐level policy innovation in China is reshaping educational access for migrant children, focusing on Sichuan's 2024 Implementation Plan for Strengthening the Care and Protection of Migrant Children. Rather than viewing the 2024 Plan in isolation, the analysis locates it within the evolving trajectory of China's hukou household registration reform and rural–urban labour migration. By tracing the link between national policy changes and demographic responses, it highlights how macro‐level reforms created new conditions for local policy experimentation. It analyses both the Plan's emergence and its structural components. The plan is interpreted as a locally grounded effort to integrate previously disjointed services into a coordinated system, shaped by both top‐down directives and local problem‐solving. This case illustrates how provincial initiatives can function as adaptive strategies to national policy shifts, yet remain embedded in structural and legal constraints. The paper further reflects on the challenges of applying Western‐derived policy frameworks in non‐Western contexts. Drawing on comparative scholarship in postcolonial political theory, it calls for more contextually attuned approaches—ones that recognise the distinctive logic of Chinese governance, rather than evaluating it through universalist assumptions
