This is the guiding force to promote the improvement of family education, and it is also the binding force to build a legal defense line at the family level.
The people call for it, the law responds, and there is a warm intention behind legislation to promote "good governance".
Responding to Public Opinion
The word "bringing children according to law" mentioned in the "Two High Schools" report became popular with the implementation of the Family Education Promotion Law on January 1 this year.
"Bringing a baby" is no longer just a "family affair" related to individuals and families, but has become a "state affair" that governments at all levels and relevant functional departments, social groups, schools, parents, and society work together to do according to law.
The introduction of this law is timely.
For a long time, cases of "improper education" in some families have continued to emerge, from over-indulgence, cultivating many "little princesses" and "little emperors", to too strict discipline, and the emergence of "tiger mother" and "wolf father" education. , and then to the use of young children's live broadcasts for profit, behind these embarrassing phenomena, there are many problems in family education hidden.
The implementation of the Family Education Promotion Law has changed raising and raising children from "self-taught without a teacher" to a law to follow, and made "bringing children in accordance with the law" a compulsory course for parents, reflecting the legislation's response to public concerns.
