The article analyzes the organizational and pedagogical forms of social care for orphans in the People’s Republic of China: children’s villages-communes, Children’s Towns – SOS, boarding schools, boarding schools of religious orientation. It is proved that the commune-settlement named after V. Korolenko was taken as a model for the creation of children’s settlements-communes. Children’s villages are located in the countryside, in nature. In children’s villages there are children of different ages (from 3 years to 16–18), who must take care of each other. Children’s villages are considered a personnel reserve for China’s agricultural sector. SOS Children’s Villages is a charity project to support orphans, children left without parental care and children at risk of losing their families. It is a charitable organization that exists solely at the expense of sponsors. The organization is united in a mini-community of 11–15 houses, in each of which live 6–8 children of different age together with the SOS-mother. In China, there are boarding schools organized by local communities opened at the initiative of the local community in rural economically backward areas. Subjects taught in the boarding schools are Chinese, Local Language, Mathematics, Basics of Agriculture or Handicrafts, Basics of Politics and Laws of the People’s Republic of China. Children between the age of 5 and 12 live permanently on the boarding school, and older children attend Sunday lessons and receive additional education in their free time.
The purpose of the article is to theoretically analyze the organizational and pedagogical forms of social care for orphans in the People’s Republic of China.
As a result of the analysis of scientific works dedicated to the problem of social care for orphans in the People’s Republic of China, we can state that the main forms of social care for orphans in China are: children’s villages, “Children’s Towns – SOS”, boarding schools, orphanages and boarding schools with a religious orientation.
