Family planning publicity and education is an information dissemination activity to realize the basic national policy of family planning. With the gradual establishment of the socialist market economic system, the conscription system is constantly improving, and the rank structure of soldiers is uneven. Especially in the 1980s and 1990s, many new features have taken place in the concept of marriage and childbearing, value orientation and childbearing behavior of officers and men, which not only brought vitality and vigor to the family planning work in grass-roots units, but also put forward new tests in the contents, forms, methods and channels for further family planning publicity and education. It is particularly important to do a good job in family planning under the new situation. We must keep pace with the times, solve problems from the ideological source, vigorously strengthen the new concept of birth culture construction, and push the family planning propaganda work to a new level. First, the current situation and difficulties of family planning publicity and education in grassroots units The new situation in grassroots units has increased the difficulty of family planning publicity and education. With the deepening of the reform of the state and military establishment system, there have been "four more" situations in grass-roots units to varying degrees. First, the number of non-commissioned officers has increased year by year. After the reform of the military service system, the number of non-commissioned officers has been increasing. According to the regulations, non-commissioned officers can't find an object in the station, which leads to the gradual increase of families living apart in the two places. Second, the proportion of dependent population is high. With the gradual establishment of the social security system of the army, the family members of the army move frequently, the floating population in the camp area increases obviously, and the management is more difficult. Third, there are many conflicts between the new ideological trend and the old ideas. Young officers and men who grew up in cities are not careful and hasty about marriage and love; Some of them have shifted their feelings because of changes in status and environment. Some young officers and men who grew up in rural areas want to have boys after giving birth to girls, especially when both sides are only children and want to have two children. Fourth, officers and men have many practical wishes and demands. Family members of officers and men have higher and higher demand for prenatal and postnatal care, reproductive health and other issues. The above performance puts forward new standards and requirements for grass-roots family planning publicity and education under the new situation. Compared with the current family planning, there are five main problems. First, there is insufficient understanding of the importance of family planning publicity and education. At present, there are still quite a few comrades who are unclear about the great significance of family planning publicity and education and lack sufficient understanding of the importance of strengthening and deepening publicity and education. They think that publicity and education are soft tasks, soft indicators and soft measures. They even regard it as something that is dispensable, can be caught or not, and anyone can do it. The sidelining of family planning publicity and education has seriously affected the normal development of family planning publicity and education. Second, the ability and quality of family planning cadres are weak, which contradicts the task of publicity and education. The ability and quality of family planning cadres are relatively weak, and the training conditions are limited, which makes it difficult to meet the actual needs of officers and men. The propaganda method is still simple to preach and indoctrinate according to the script, and the educational effect is difficult to improve. Third, the content of family planning publicity and education is not novel and the concept is outdated. At present, the content of family planning education in grass-roots units is monotonous, and the education content is limited to emphasizing policies, regulations and theoretical indoctrination, which is not close to what officers and men are eager to know, and there are few explanations on contraception and prenatal and postnatal care. Second, some opinions on doing a good job in the publicity and education of family planning at the grassroots level in the new period (1) Grasp the opportunity according to the facts and highlight the focus of publicity and education. Compared with the past, the concept of marriage and childbearing of officers and men has changed greatly. Late marriage and late childbearing have been accepted by most officers and men. Loving the army and practicing martial arts has become the universal pursuit of officers and men. These thoughts reflect that in the process of publicity and education, we must first find out the thoughts of officers and men, attach great importance to work orientation, educational objects and educational contents, and strengthen the pertinence of education. It is necessary to make good use of the important anniversary of population and family planning, focus on family planning re-education, integrate family planning publicity and education, highlight characteristics, entertain and educate, and further enhance their consciousness and sense of responsibility in implementing the basic national policy. (2) Expand channels for innovation, highlight new forms of publicity and education, and seek innovation in publicity and education content. It is to aim at the physical, psychological and life needs of young officers and men, focus on the needs of officers and men, enrich the mission content and improve the mission level. Carry out family planning education, how to be a competent father and a good husband, and increase reproductive health care, common sense of marriage and love, prenatal and postnatal care, technical knowledge and so on. Second, seek innovation in missionary methods. We should focus on enhancing the actual effect of family planning publicity and education, and adopt a variety of analogies and entertaining ways to make publicity and education flexible, eclectic, informative and interesting. Open a family planning column and carry out activities such as the selection of "five good civilized families". Third, we should seek the innovation of publicity and education means. With the continuous development of high-tech knowledge and the continuous application of new achievements and technologies, it is necessary to continuously increase the scientific and technological content of missionary work. At present, making full use of digital cameras, projectors, DVD, military camp network and other means can realize convenient conditions such as vehicle operation, online communication, video teaching and resource sharing, improve the timeliness, knowledge, flexibility and interest of publicity and education, and effectively enhance the actual effect of publicity and education. Through repeated publicity and education in various forms and channels, officers and men will truly become the masters of family planning work. (3) The importance of seeking development and promoting transformation, and striving to create a new birth culture and a new birth culture in military camps are not only the needs of the development of family planning work in the army, but also the important content of strengthening the all-round construction of the army, and it is also a concrete action to implement the requirements of the "Theory of Three Represents". First, leaders should do it themselves. Leaders attach importance to, personally grasp and implement strong organizational leadership, which is the most fundamental experience in doing a good job in family planning and an important guarantee for creating a new birth culture in military camps; The second is to ensure the construction of the backbone team of family planning. Family planning cadres must attach importance to learning, improve their ability to use theory to guide practice, enhance their sense of responsibility, and improve their ability to be realistic and innovative. The third is to mobilize the officers and men to actively participate.
