Moral Education Policy and Citizenship Education in China

This chapter explores moral education policy and citizenship education in China. In the long-term practice of education, moral education has overshadowed and in some cases even supplanted citizenship education. There are some problems such as unclear boundaries of understanding and confusion in practice. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the relationship between moral education and citizenship education, which is conducive to clarifying understanding and promoting practice. Moral education and citizenship education not only have their own inherent characteristics, but also have fundamental differences in nature, social and historical conditions, purpose, and content, but they are still closely related in theory and practice.
