Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore measures for a specific and practical system to institute a parental education program at national level, based on a high demand by parents and parents-to-be. The current state of parental education for parents of infants and children, and major government agencies were examined, and the need for a parental education program was investigated, targeting parents and parents-to-be. As a result, among parents and parents-to-be, more than 80% of the participants agreed with instituting a parental education program, and most of them desired that parental education would start at pregnancy. Furthermore, if parental education program is developed, their willingness to participate was also relatively high. In accordance with the high demand for instituting a parental education program, measures were examined to effectively deliver the program. Several legislations including the Framework Act on Healthy Families, were examined, and the need for parental education system was further supplemented, and measures were subsequently established with current relevant governmental agencies. In addition, a legal basis for establishing a delivery system of a parental education institution, use of local centers are further discussed.
