ABSTRACT

The present paper focuses on the formal implementation of the Law on the Promotion of Family Education. It reviews and summarizes the research progress and practical exploration of China's family education policy literature from 2015 to 2024. Through a meticulous examination of the extant literature, this study delves into the thematic underpinnings, methodological approaches, and conclusive findings of pertinent research conducted both prior to and following the enactment of the Law on the Promotion of Family Education. The study further distills the pivotal developmental characteristics of policy legalization, tool optimization, and multi-agent collaboration. The study's findings indicate that the legalization of family education policy has contributed to the establishment of a collaborative educational mechanism among home, school, and societal entities. However, there are still issues that necessitate optimization, including an imbalance in policy instruments, an imperfect multi-subject collaboration mechanism, and unmet regionalized, diversified requirements. Future research should prioritize the dynamic adjustment of policy tools, the practical path of collaborative mechanisms, and policy design for disadvantaged groups and regional differences. This theoretical and practical guidance will support the high-quality development of family education policy.This study provides a significant reference point for deepening the research and practice of family education policy.
