Abstract

Values education for rural children in ethnic areas is a specific issue arising from the integration of ethnic education, rural education and values education. It serves as the key to fostering a sense of community for the Chinese nation among rural children in ethnic areas and promoting the symbiosis of national cultural values and social governance. Values education is premised on a full understanding of objective conditions and limitations in multiple realities include in ethnic areas, in the rural communities, in China and the world, a breakthrough in the traditional concept of values education, and the application of new methods of values education and new forms of educational practice. Therefore, we are supposed to attach special emphasis to develop children's rational judgment of value and foster their correct cultural values of ethnic minorities, social values of rural community and political values of China-world. Families, schools and communities are supposed to work together because families are the source of values “imitation”, schools are the major front for cultivating social values, and communities provide values with an indispensable “leisure” educational space.
