Jiangxia District Women's Federation, in Wuhan, capital of Central China's Hubei Province, with a local primary school, recently organized an activity that focused on science popularization and environmental education. Forty-nine people, including students and some of their parents, participated. They visited Hubei Science and Technology Museum, and they collected and sorted garbage at an environmental-protection-practice site.
The activity exemplifies Wuhan's efforts to promote family-school-community collaborative education. In recent years, women's federations, at all levels in Wuhan, have taken multiple measures to promote sound family education concepts among thousands of households, and to make family-education-guidance services easily accessible.
Women's federations, at all levels in Wuhan, have collaborated with relevant government departments, and social organizations, to build a collaborative system featuring aligned policies, complementary resources and shared information. The federations have promoted a transformation of the education model, from "school-led" to "family, school and community each fulfilling their responsibilities and working together."
Wuhan Women's Federation conducts more than 200 life-safety-education activities annually. It has created an online, public-welfare platform that regularly broadcasts expert lectures and parent workshops, with an annual viewership exceeding 1.75 million people.
To date, 3,273 community (village) parent schools have been established in Wuhan, along with 56 "Wuhan Happy Home" family service stations. A "15-minute, family-education-service circle" has been formed in Wuhan.
Wuhan Women's Federation has assembled more than 100 experts from various fields, including education, psychology and law, to form a municipal-level, family-education-expert-lecturer group, to offer guidance on family education.
The federation has also established a qualified family education volunteer-service team, with more than 180 family education instructors and volunteers.
