Family-School Co-Education for Left-Behind Children in the Context of Rural Revitalization: Challenges, Approaches, and Policy Analysis

Abstract

With the acceleration of China's urbanization process, a large number of rural laborers are migrating to cities, leading to a growing phenomenon of left-behind children. The proposal of the Rural Revitalization Strategy provides a new opportunity to address this issue. This article aims to explore the current status and challenges of family-school co-education for left-behind children in the context of rural revitalization, propose corresponding solutions, and analyze relevant policies. The goal is to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the education and growth of left-behind children. The study identifies major challenges such as the lack of effective family education due to parents working away from home, inadequate school resources and support, communication barriers between families and schools, and insufficient social support. To address these issues, the article proposes establishing effective family-school communication platforms, enhancing parents' educational quality, improving school education mechanisms, and increasing social support. The analysis of national and local policies reveals efforts to create a supportive legal and institutional framework for family-school co-education. The article concludes that coordinated efforts from the government, schools, and society are essential to provide a solid foundation for the education and growth of left-behind children, ensuring their comprehensive development and healthy growth in the context of rural revitalization.
