Working together
A guideline encourages stronger ties between schools, families and communities
学校、家庭、社会要形成协同育人共同体
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.
In January, 13 agencies (部门 ) – including the Ministry of Education – released a
guideline (意见 ) to improve the school-family-community cooperative 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.
“The goal of the mechanism is to give full play to the advantages of each party and
promote (促进) the all-round development of students,” Zhang Zhiyong, a professor
at Beijing Normal University, told China Education Daily.
According to the guideline, schools play a leading role in cooperative education. They
should keep close contact (联系 ) with parents. Paying a home visit and offering
family education guidance (指导) regularly (定期地) are made a must. Parents should
play a role in family education. Besides traditional education, they are encouraged to
lead their kids to take part in activities like volunteering and doing sports. The
community is expected to provide support and service to students. All kinds of
education bases (基地) and museums, for example, should be free or preferential (优
惠的) to students.
Gao Wei, 43, a mother of a 14-year-old from Beijing, is excited about the guideline.
“Strengthening (加强 ) the connection between the school and parents is not a new
thing. But the guideline tells us how to make it happen,” she said. “Another good
point is that it asks the community to open more social resources (资源) to students.
Nowadays, many students only focus on studying. With such support, they can learn
more from real life.”
