Education is not just about going to school. it’s also about what you learn from your experiences outside of school. So family and community (社会) play a great role, too.
On January 13, the government gave a guideline (指导方针) to improve school-family-community cooperative (合作的) education mechanism (学校家庭社会协同育人机制). It clarifies the roles and responsibilities of school, family and community and how they work together to educate children.
“School-family-community cooperative education asks the three parts to well work together to help the all-round development of students,” Zhang Zhiyong, a teacher at Beijing Normal University, told China Education Daily.
According to the guideline, schools should play a leading role in cooperative education. They should deeply close communicate with parents to let them know about the student’s performance at school. They should also organize at least two activities each term to offer family education guidance to parents. Also, head teachers need to organize a home visit to each student at least once every year.
Parents also play a key role in family education. They should be encouraged to lead their kids to take part in different activities like volunteering, doing sports or getting job experience in their free time. The community, on the other hand, for example, should be free to school students.
Gao Wei, a 43-year-old mother of a 14-year-old from Beijing, was excited about the new guideline. “Improving cooperative education” between the school and parents is not a new thing. But the guideline brings clear advice to make it happen. With such support, they can learn more from real life.”
