□ Our reporter Pu Xiaolei
On October 23, the 31st meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress passed the Family Education Promotion Law through a vote.
The law will come into effect on January 1, 2022.
The formulation of the Family Education Promotion Law has elevated family education from the traditional "family affairs" of the old period to the important "national affairs" of the new era.
At the same time, it also gave birth to a hot word on the Internet-bringing a baby in accordance with the law.
In order to enable parents to better bring their babies in accordance with the law, the Family Education Promotion Law not only lists a number of educational content and methods in a targeted manner, and solves the confusion of "what to teach" and "how to teach" parents, but also gives parents a wake-up call— -Once the relevant regulations are violated, the state will intervene.
While alleviating parents’ education anxiety, the Family Education Promotion Act also responds to students’ expectations of “reducing the burden of homework”—implementing the spirit of the Central Government’s document on reducing the burden of students’ homework during compulsory education and the burden of off-campus training, and clearly requires that students’ homework be reduced. burden.
Guo Linmao, Director of the Social Law Office of the Legal Work Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, said in an interview with a reporter from the Rule of Law Daily that the formulation of the Family Education Promotion Law emphasizes the unique role of families and parents in the growth of minors and actively responds to these general social concerns. In order to promote the healthy growth and all-round development of minors, we will strive to improve relevant systems and measures, promote family education, and provide more adequate and powerful legal guarantees for the healthy growth and all-round development of minors.
Solve the two major puzzles of parents
Recently, a survey conducted by the Social Survey Center of China Youth Daily on 1,149 parents of minors showed that 80.7% of the parents interviewed are often confused about family education, and 94.7% of the interviewed parents expect this method to help them alleviate. Educational anxiety.
What to teach and how to teach are the two most perplexing questions for parents in family education.
In this regard, the Family Education Promotion Law specifically responded.
In terms of "what to teach", the Family Education Promotion Law clearly stipulates a fundamental task-Lide and foster people.
Article 3 of the Family Education Promotion Law stipulates that family education is based on the fundamental task of cultivating and practicing socialist core values, promoting the excellent traditional culture, revolutionary culture, and advanced socialist culture of the Chinese nation, and promoting the healthy growth of minors.
At the same time, the Family Education Promotion Law differs from school education in the main aspects of “ethics, intelligence, physical education, art and labor” in the provisions of the content of family education. People, love the collective, love socialism, cultivate the feelings of family and country; educate minors to respect morals and be good, and cultivate good social ethics, family virtues, personal moral awareness and awareness of the rule of law.
Not only that, the Family Education Promotion Law also stipulates the content of family education by way of enumeration.
Article 16 of the law requires parents to cultivate minors’ sense of the Chinese nation’s community and family-nation feelings, good social ethics, family virtues and personal ethics, scientific exploration and innovation consciousness, and good study habits and behavior habits. , Self-protection awareness and ability, the concept of love of labor, etc.
In addition to telling parents "what to teach", the Family Education Promotion Law also clarifies "how to teach."
Article 17 of the law stipulates nine methods, including strengthening parent-child companionship, giving full play to the roles of both parents, precepts and deeds, respect for differences, and equal exchanges.
The Family Education Promotion Law clarifies the content and methods of family education, and aims to enable parents to be good parents who bring their babies in accordance with the law.
"Children’s growth and education are regular. What characteristics should good parents have? To this, the Family Education Promotion Law gives the answer-companionship, role model, discovery, respect, support, and growth." China Youth Research Center Said Sun Yunxiao, a researcher and vice president of the Chinese Family Education Association.
The problem of improper intervention in teaching
According to Yuan Ningning, deputy director of the China University of Political Science and Law Research Base for Minor Affairs and Law, the promulgation of the Family Education Promotion Law helps to solve the two major weaknesses in the family guardianship of minors in our country-the lack of support. Improper teaching and teaching.
For a long time, some parents or other guardians do not have a strong sense of responsibility for the main body of family education, and the phenomenon of not raising, raising, and improperly teaching minors has existed to varying degrees. Some even confuse the implementation of domestic violence as a method of family education. .
"The issue of childbirth but not raising is resolved by the Minor Protection Law and the Civil Code, while the issues of raising but not educating and improper teaching are resolved by the Family Education Promotion Law. Regarding the content and methods of family education, the Family Education Promotion Law can be said to be Not hesitating to enumerate, it is to guide parents through guidance and help them solve the confusion in this regard." Yuan Ningning said.
Although these regulations are not mandatory, it does not mean that parents can educate their children at will.
The Family Education Promotion Law, which elevated "family affairs" to "state affairs," clearly stipulates the content of state intervention.
Article 49 stipulates that in the process of handling cases, public security organs, people’s procuratorates, and people’s courts discover that minors have committed serious bad behaviors or committed criminal acts, or that minors’ parents or other guardians have improperly committed family education infringements. Where adults have legal rights and interests, their parents or other guardians shall be admonished according to the situation, and they may be ordered to receive family education and guidance.
"No matter what content parents teach, no matter what method they use, they must not touch the bottom line. They must not cause minors to have bad behaviors or cause problems in the healthy growth of minors due to improper family education. Otherwise, the country will Intervene." Yuan Ningning said.
Zhou Hongyu, member of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress and deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Hubei Provincial People’s Congress, pointed out that state intervention in family education is not to control the family, but to provide the family with systematic, professional and scientific guidance and comprehensive, adequate and diversified guarantees. In particular, special families such as families with left-behind children provide minors with the necessary support to receive education, use legal means to regulate the behavior of parents, and further improve the quality of parents.
Respond to the double reduction policy requirements
Not long ago, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Further Reducing the Work Burden of Students in Compulsory Education and the Burden of Off-campus Training", which clarified the requirements for reducing the burden of students' excessive work and comprehensively regulating the behavior of off-campus training.
Yuan Ningning said that the "double reduction" policy clearly requires that students be relieved of their heavy workload. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to strengthen the governance of off-campus training institutions and to guide parents or other guardians to establish a correct outlook on growth and education.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for the child's learning burden to really be reduced.
In response to the "double reduction" requirement of reducing the burden of students' homework and off-campus training during the compulsory education stage, the Family Education Promotion Law makes provisions.
Article 22 stipulates that minors’ parents or other guardians should reasonably arrange time for minors to study, rest, entertainment, and physical exercise to avoid adding to minors’ learning burden and prevent minors from indulging in the Internet.
Article 26 stipulates that local people's governments at or above the county level shall strengthen supervision and management, reduce the burden of students' homework and off-campus training during the compulsory education stage, unblock the communication channels between schools and families, and promote mutual cooperation between school education and family education.
"The relevant provisions of the Family Education Promotion Law are to guide parents to create an external environment for minors to grow up healthily. At the same time, it also puts forward requirements for government supervision and school education, requiring school education and family education to cooperate with each other to reduce Students are burdened with homework. The facts are also true. Only in this way can the "double reduction" policy achieve its intended purpose." Yuan Ningning said.
Sun Yunxiao said that the clarification of the main body of responsibility for family education and the content and methods of family education by means of special legislation shows that family education has its own essence and characteristics. It is rich and colorful life education, and it teaches children how to behave based on life practice. Education is not a "chicken baby" competition with the goal of chasing exam rankings and entering prestigious schools.
This is the guidance of rectifying the source, and it is of extremely practical significance for parents under the background of "double reduction" to do a good job in family education.
