Chinanews, Beijing, July 14 – According to a report by the People's Daily, mothers play a more important role in the education of children in some 50% of families in China, while in only some 20% of families it is fathers that play the principal role in children's education.However, experts suggest that fathers should take more responsibility in educating children, as kids need masculinity from fathers to form a complete character, particularly in cultivating a firm will.Besides, most teachers in kindergartens and elementary schools are female, thus it is necessary for fathers to communicate with kids to balance the education.After all, education requires active participation by both mothers and fathers, and they should work out a joint plan for the matter.
