CCTV News: Yesterday (January 1), the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Promotion of Family Education began to be formally implemented, which is the first time that China has carried out special legislation on family education. Family education rose from "family affairs" to "state affairs", and parents opened the era of "bringing babies according to law".
In January, August and October 2021, after three deliberations by the National People's Congress, the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Promotion of Family Education was officially voted and passed on October 23. The law is divided into six chapters and fifty-five articles, which divide and stipulate the responsibilities that guardians of minors and society should bear for family education from the aspects of family responsibility, state support, social coordination and legal responsibility. This is another blockbuster regulation in the field of education after the Education Law, the Compulsory Education Law and the new version of the Law on the Protection of Minors. In the view of yuan ningning, the legal and legislative adviser, the family education promotion law epitomizes two key words " guidance " and "empowerment".
Yuan Ningning, deputy director of the Governance and Legal Research Base for Minor Affairs of China University of Political Science and Law, Legislative Adviser of the Family Education Promotion Law: The first key word is guidance, telling parents through the way of law, how to be a qualified parent, guiding you to educate children in accordance with scientific methods and scientific concepts; the second keyword is empowerment, indeed parents also need a continuous learning process, when encountering difficulties and problems, you can get corresponding help from our public system, and also learn relevant knowledge. Then come and improve your abilities.
Family education is the beginning of education, related to the healthy growth of minors and the happiness and tranquility of the family, but family education has privacy and personalization, when "family affairs" rise to "state affairs", how to respect the laws of family education itself? Relevant experts pointed out that from the name of the law to the setting of the relevant provisions, the legislative intent was reflected.
Yuan Ningning, deputy director of the Governance and Law Research Base for Minor Affairs of China University of Political Science and Law, And Expert Adviser on the Legislation of the Family Education Promotion Law: When we look at the name of this law, from the first instance to the Family Education Law, later called the Family Education Promotion Law, the word "promotion" was added, in fact, its orientation is very clear, that is, family education Our government has the responsibility to promote, that is, we want to increase the responsibilities and obligations of the government.
Many experts believe that the increase in the word "promotion" is a compliance with and respect for the autonomy of family education, reflecting that the family is the main body of family education, and the state and society provide support and assistance to the family.
Bian Yufang, director of the Children's Family Education Research Center of Beijing Normal University: The first time on family education legislation, we hope that it is a law that helps parents, a law that can help our parents become better educators, rather than saying that we will say that parents are not doing well, how to do it. Of course, the responsibility that parents should bear also has to bear, that is to say, we help you take on the role of the first responsible person of family education and complete the tasks you have to complete accordingly.
Experts revealed that in the first draft, penalties such as fines and detention were clarified for parents' refusal to perform their family education responsibilities, but in the subsequent review process, this article was deleted. The measures mentioned in the law, such as criticizing and educating parents, exhorting and stopping, and admonishing them, are not so much punishments as corrections to help parents better carry out family education.
After the official implementation of the Family Education Promotion Law, what should the relevant departments do when they encounter "unqualified" parents? Many localities have issued and implemented "Family Education Promotion Regulations" and issued "Family Education Guidance Orders" to provide experience.
In the country's first family education guidance workstation for juveniles involved in litigation in Xuyong County, Luzhou, Sichuan, Liu and Zhang are receiving family education guidance, and the two sides are bored with school because of the divorce dispute, the parents are in a laissez-faire state, and the teacher has repeatedly visited the home to persuade her to return to school invalid. As a result, the undertaker issued a "family education guidance order" to the couple and assigned two family education instructors to guide them.
Yao Bing, vice chairman of the Women's Federation of Xuyong County, Luzhou, Sichuan Province: Today's case is a case, but also with a certain common phenomenon, many couples have neglected the education of their children because of the relationship between husband and wife, through our family instructors to parents, families to make guidance, let them re-recognize their negligence in children's education and inappropriate places, timely correction of children's education, re-let the children feel the warmth of the family.
Although the Family Education Promotion Law is relatively "mild", it also provides for the situation in which the public prosecutor's office finds that parents do not carry out family education correctly. On October 21, 2021, the Qingjiangpu District People's Court in Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, accepted such a case, in which the plaintiffs Zhou and Zhao divorced due to emotional discord, and the two parties decided to send their newborn daughter to be raised by others. Later, after being introduced by a friend, the defendant Zhu and his wife brought the baby girl back to be raised from Zhao. Afterwards, the relationship between the plaintiff and the plaintiff eased somewhat, regretted the adoption of the young daughter, and repeatedly negotiated with the defendant to return the child, but the defendant did not agree. After the two parties sued the court, after mediation, the defendant agreed to send the child back to the plaintiff, and the plaintiff gave certain financial compensation.
Wu Ran, president of the Juvenile and Family Affairs Division of the Qingjiangpu District People's Court in Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province: After our trial, we found out that they did not go to the civil affairs department for legal adoption registration. According to the relevant provisions of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Minors, parents are not allowed to illegally send minor children for adoption, so we issued the first order for the two plaintiffs to receive family education guidance. We joined hands with the women's federation department to hire professional family education instructors to guide the two of them in family education, hoping that they can learn lessons from this incident, also know the provisions of the law, and in the future process can perform the guardianship duties of minor children in accordance with the law.
Yuan Ningning, deputy director of the Governance and Law Research Base for Minor Affairs of China University of Political Science and Law, And Expert Consultant on the Promotion of Family Education Law: When you encounter difficulties in family education, encounter problems, or even serious dereliction of duty in family education, our government will intervene. This intervention can be divided into two aspects, one is soft intervention and the other is hard intervention. The so-called soft intervention is that when you encounter difficulties and problems in the process of family education, you do not know how to solve them, you can take the initiative to seek help from the family education public service system provided by our government, when you have serious family education dereliction of duty, resulting in children such as illegal crimes, serious bad behavior, at this time the government and our judicial organs to force your parents to accept relevant family education guidance.
The establishment of a family education guidance service system covering urban and rural areas is the highlight of this legislation and the key to the implementation of the law. The Family Education Promotion Law mentions that marriage registration agencies, infant and child care service agencies, health care institutions, community parent schools, etc. should provide parents with family education guidance. The reporter saw in the interview that all localities are sending scientific tutoring concepts, tutoring knowledge and tutoring methods to parents to open up the "last kilometer" of family education guidance services.
Recently, the Jiangsu Provincial Women's Federation has carried out the "three complete" community family education support action family education guidance work model in the whole province, the whole process of parents and the whole type of family, which has been welcomed by parents. Lu Hongjuan, a resident of Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, has a daughter in kindergarten, and from the beginning of 2021, she will take her children to the children's bookstore in the community every week to participate in picture book sharing sessions. The picture book that will be brought to you today is "If I Don't Go to School", through the careful explanation and interesting interaction of professional teachers, the children listened to it with relish, and parents also benefited a lot.
In November 2021, the first tutoring work station for juveniles involved in litigation was established in the national court system. Today, 14 tutors jointly recommended by the Xuyong County Youth League Committee, the Women's Federation, the Education and Sports Bureau, etc. have been hired to take up posts, namely judges, school psychological counselors, professional social workers, and staff of civil affairs, women's federations, and customs work committees.
The Family Education Promotion Law clearly stipulates that education administrative departments and women's federations shall coordinate social resources, coordinate the construction of a family education guidance service system covering urban and rural areas, and undertake the daily affairs of family education in accordance with the division of duties; relevant departments such as education, civil affairs, health and health, and market supervision and management shall, within the scope of their respective duties, guide and supervise family education service establishments and practitioners in accordance with law; primary and secondary schools and kindergartens that meet the conditions shall, under the guidance of the administrative departments for education. Provide support for family education guidance service sites to carry out public welfare family education guidance service activities. The whole society should jointly build a family education guidance service system covering urban and rural areas.
Another highlight of the Family Education Promotion Law is the emphasis on the cultivation of virtue and the guidance of parents to pay more attention to the cultivation of minor children's morality, scientific exploration spirit and sense of innovation, as well as the cultivation of good learning habits, behavior habits and living habits in family education. In this regard, experts said that the fundamental task of education lies in the cultivation of moral integrity, and in order to cultivate qualified citizens with sound personality, it is necessary to give play to the advantages of family education in children's moral education and personality cultivation.
At Baohua Primary School in Jinan's Tianqiao District, a family education salon for students is underway, letting parents know how to make their children find happiness in participating in housework. Salons like this have now become a brand activity for Bauer Primary School to carry out home-school education. In recent years, Bauer Primary School has developed more than 100 courses for the key nodes of students' growth period, and parents have listened to and studied nearly 40,000 times.
While parents are learning, students also become "Little Mr.", scoring and evaluating the learning effect of parents, urging more parents to participate in it, and truly implementing students' family education.
Every weekend, Cheng Guoping, a citizen of Zibo City, who has the title of "wisdom parent" in Shandong Province, will bring her child to the child's grandparents' home early, and helping the grandparents beat their backs and massage is a compulsory course after the two granddaughters come to the grandfather's house. Good family education not only allows the sisters to develop a lively and cheerful personality, but also cultivates their virtues of respecting the old and loving the young.
In July 2021, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the Opinions on Further Reducing the Homework Burden and Off-campus Training Burden of Students in the Compulsory Education Stage, and the Family Education Promotion Law introduced in the context of "double reduction" naturally shoulders the heavy responsibility of implementing the "double reduction". The Family Education Promotion Law stipulates that local people's governments at or above the county level shall strengthen supervision and management, reduce the burden of homework and off-campus training on students in the compulsory education stage, and promote mutual cooperation between school education and family education. In this regard, experts believe that strict management of off-campus training institutions and improvement of the quality of school teaching will help promote the double reduction policy, but in a sense, parents are the key to truly landing the policy.
Bian Yufang, director of the Children's Family Education Research Center of Beijing Normal University: Let him learn the Olympic number when he should not learn the Olympic number today, and apply for so many classes when he should not apply for so many classes, I think more parents in society, most of the parents in society are saying that I am doing it for the better development of their children, but he really does not know, so he wants to study and accept family education guidance. He must realize that learning the family education promotion method is a very important task for him, and he must grow up with his children.
