The relevant person in charge of the Standing Committee of the Xinjiang People's Congress said that family education is related to the healthy growth of minors and the long-term social stability. There are 5.806 million minors in Xinjiang. Based on the implementation of the Family Education Promotion Law, there are still problems such as insufficient implementation of guardianship responsibilities, poor coordination between home and school, and outstanding shortcomings in family education for left-behind, difficult, and migrant minors.

This regulation is based on the actual situation of Xinjiang's multi-ethnic areas, integrates the awareness of the Chinese nation's community throughout the entire process of family education, refines the supporting laws, strives to solve the problems of special family education, and promotes the standardized and legal development of family education.

The regulations set up seven special promotion measures, highlighting the education of patriotism and national unity, clarifying the relevant requirements for the learning of the national common language and anti-separatism education, adding Internet literacy and sexual assault prevention education; providing professional guidance for special groups such as divorced families and families of prisoners, dynamic management of left-behind and troubled minors, improving the intervention mechanism for minors' bad behavior, and encouraging the expansion of personalized family education services based on artificial intelligence.

The Regulation clarifies the primary responsibility of guardians, details family education obligations under different circumstances such as separation, divorce, and adoption, establishes a hierarchical progressive restraint mechanism, and admonishes and reprimands guardians who neglect their discipline and education. If necessary, they will order them to receive family education guidance, and relevant illegal acts will be held accountable in accordance with the law.

It is understood that the Standing Committee of the Xinjiang People's Congress will closely monitor the implementation of the regulations through regular supervision, law enforcement inspections, special inquiries, and coordinated supervision, fill in the gaps in family education services, and protect the healthy growth of minors of all ethnic groups.
