Abstract

Aiming to improve the scientific, standardized, and professional level of family education, the newly promulgated “Family Education Promotion Law” responds to the practical issues that are widely concerned by society in terms of legislative expression and embodies the legislative intention of putting children first. It downplays state intervention, clarifies the responsibilities of all parties, and establishes a long-term mechanism for collaborative education between family, school, and community. However, during the implementation process, we are still confronted with problems including the difficulty in exerting the principal responsibility of parents, the social coordination mechanisms only existing in name, the hard-to-find family dereliction of duty, the difficulty in detecting dereliction of duty in family education, and the weakening function of Family Education Guidance Order. In order to implement the “Family Education Promotion Law” effectively, we must respect the autonomy of family education and ensure that the state intervenes in a timely and appropriate manner. In the meantime, the family education guidance service system should be elaborated, the quality of family education guidance services should be enhanced, and the role of communities and schools should be fully utilized.
