Annual Inventory of Family Education in China in 2019
2019 is the year with the strongest family education policy. Paying attention to family education, speeding up the legislation of family education and strengthening the responsibility of guardianship subjects, and providing parents with public welfare family education guidance services have become the proper meaning of improving the quality of compulsory education in an all-round way. "Building a family education guidance service system covering urban and rural areas" has become one of the contents of "building an education system serving lifelong learning for all". The revised draft of the Law on the Protection of Minors adds a compulsory reporting system and a preventive education system to prevent and control school bullying, and social hot spots have been positively responded. Nine departments issued the National Family Education Guiding Outline (Revised), adhering to the guiding principle of "ideological, scientific, children-oriented and parents-oriented" and emphasizing that "respecting and protecting children’s rights is the foundation of family education".
In 2019, the government continued to deepen the promotion of family education. The Ministry of Education has strengthened the work of family education, carried out publicity activities on the theme of family education, studied and formulated guidance manuals for parents and schools, and started the legislative research on family education law and the practical pilot of the mechanism of co-education and co-governance between families and schools. Jiangsu became the fifth province to introduce local regulations on family education after Chongqing, Guizhou, Shanxi and Jiangxi. Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference held a long-distance consultation meeting on network discussion, which discussed "paying attention to the construction of family education style" and calling for "bringing family education into the modern education system" and "improving the family education guidance service system".
2019 is the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China. Looking back on the development of family education in the past 70 years, the government-led efforts are becoming more and more obvious, the discipline construction and theoretical system are still weak, and the social public service mechanism to support families has not yet taken shape. The annual academic conference on family education focuses on "feelings of home and country and the driving force for growth", and it has become a consensus that "feelings of home and country are the energy source and driving engine for children’s growth", and the initiative of "the state gives parents some paid parental leave" resonates.
In 2019, it is the 100th anniversary of Lu Xun’s publication "How Do We Be Fathers Now". How to train children to "become an independent person" is still a family education topic in the new era.
In 2019, it was the first year for China Education to transform into the media and expand into the field of family education. The 18 open classes of family education "focus on the distance and start near; Facing difficulties directly and solving pain points ",analyzing problems through small incision and making practical suggestions, are especially welcomed by class teachers who feel that they have difficulties in communicating with their parents, lack professional self-confidence when facing parents, and are at a loss when facing conflicts between home and school." Next year, it will be revised to "one lesson a week", trying to build an online carrier of normal learning.
