A notice was jointly issued by the Supreme People's Court (SPC) and four other organizations on carrying out a legal education campaign for minors ahead of the International Children’s Day.
Joining the SPC in issuing the notice was the Ministry of Education, the Office of the National Working Committee on Children and Women under the State Council, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China and the All-China Women's Federation.
The campaign aims to strengthen legal education among minors by encouraging primary and secondary school students to visit courts and courtrooms, experience the legal culture, and gain a deeper understanding of the rule of law.
It seeks to boost legal awareness and literacy among minors during a critical stage of their cognitive development and to help young people form a sound understanding of law, cultivate respect for the rule of law, and voluntarily learn, observe and apply the law.
The notice emphasizes that local authorities should tailor activities to actual conditions, taking into account common gaps in minors’ understanding of rules and legal awareness. It encourages the use of interactive and immersive learning methods, such as lectures on key laws including the Civil Code and analyses of typical cases, to strengthen targeted legal education.
Through these efforts, the campaign aims to enable minors to better understand rules and boundaries, recognize obligations and limits, distinguish right from wrong and develop self-discipline.
The education campaign also seeks to cultivate moral integrity among minors, and guide them to uphold the spirit of the socialist rule of law, follow codes of conduct in daily life, and advocate fairness and justice — while resisting unhealthy habits and striving to become well-rounded young people with moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor development.
