Continuing education was becoming popular in China. It benefited adults with extra opportunity and promoting job skills that had been working for many years. However, continuing education also imposed burdens on the students. The pressure was mainly from multiple roles they were required to take care of family, schooling, and work simultaneously. The purpose of this study was designed to measure students' perceptions of role conflicts between school and work and subsequent coping strategies, and to determine factors relevant to the role conflict and coping in early child development programs with continuing education. Results of the study were based on useable responses received from 970 working students, with a return rate of 80.83%.

Single people were better at school and work conflict and married people were better at coping.
