How to Promote the Integration of School, Family and Community of Children’s Sex Education in China

Abstract

This essay focuses on how to promote children’s sex education in China through the cooperation of schools, families and communities. In the digital age, children are easily exposed to harmful sexual information, leading to increasingly prominent issues such as sexual assault and younger sexual behavior. Due to the constraints of long-term conservative beliefs, the development of sex education in China faces many challenges. Parents and teachers generally lack scientific knowledge and abilities in sex education, and families and schools do not pay enough attention to this issue. This article emphasizes the importance and necessity of multi-party collaboration by reviewing relevant literature and policy frameworks, and proposes multidimensional strategies such as family sex education guidance, school sex education teacher training, and community resource support to promote the scientific and systematic development of children’s sex education. Combining international advanced experience with China’s local cultural background, this article aims to provide practical and feasible suggestions for policy makers, educators, and parents to promote the improvement of children’s sex education system.
