家庭教育不仅仅是家庭内部事务,也事关公共福祉。家庭教育法草案近日提请全国人大常委会会议审议。
Parents or
guardians1 should not use violence as a way to teach children lessons, the draft law said. They should not
discriminate2 against children based on their
gender3 or physical condition, or
coerce4,
lure5,
incite6 or use
minors8 to violate laws, regulations or social morality, according to the draft.
草案提出,未成年人父母或者其他监护人在实施家庭教育过程中,不得对未成年人有性别、身体状况等歧视,不得有任何形式的家庭暴力,不得胁迫、引诱、教唆、利用未成年人从事违反法律法规和社会公德的活动。
草案明确,家庭教育(family education)是指父母或者其他监护人对未成年人实施的、以促进其健康成长为目的的引导和影响(guidance and influence that aims to promote the healthy growth and development of minors),根本任务在于立德树人(foster character and
civic9 virtue10)。
草案其他要点包括:
Parents and guardians shoulder the primary responsibility to educate children, while the government, schools and society should offer support for family education, the draft said, adding that the country should intervene when necessary.
未成年人的父母或者其他监护人是实施家庭教育的责任主体。政府、学校、社会为家庭教育提供支持,促进家庭教育。必要时,国家对家庭教育进行干预。
Law enforcement should
admonish11 parents or ask them to improve family education when children have received
administrative12 punishment from the police or committed
minor7 crimes, it said.
未成年人受到公安部门行政处罚或有轻微犯罪行为时,执法部门应该对其父母进行训诫或要求其改进家庭教育。
