introduction

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of ideological and political theory courses in 2019, pointing out the close connection between legal education and ideological and political education. Building an integrated system of legal education in primary, secondary, and tertiary schools is the key to cultivating socialist builders and successors. School legal education plays an important role in building a rule of law country, cultivating legal talents, and law-abiding citizens. It is necessary to pay attention to the connection of legal education in various stages and achieve normal connection between different stages.

1、 The necessity of connecting legal education in primary, secondary, and tertiary schools

The necessity of connecting legal education in primary, secondary, and tertiary schools was emphasized, and the new requirements of the times for legal education were pointed out. The progress and problems of the implementation of the "Outline of Legal Education for Youth" were analyzed, such as the imbalance of legal literacy among youth and insufficient educational resources. At the same time, it pointed out the practical problems in legal education, such as repetitive teaching content and disjointed educational goals, and emphasized that the content of legal education in primary, secondary, and tertiary schools should be connected in a spiral and gradually constructed. Finally, it was emphasized that legal education should be closely integrated with students' real lives, and vivid examples should be used to guide young people to understand and apply the law, in order to improve the effectiveness of legal education.

2、 The shortcomings in the connection between current legal education in primary, secondary, and tertiary schools

The current deficiencies in the connection of legal education in primary, secondary, and tertiary schools are mainly reflected in three aspects: firstly, the hierarchical structure of the goal system is not clear enough, the positioning of legal education goals is inaccurate, the hierarchy is unclear, and there is a lack of logical correlation, resulting in poor teaching effectiveness; Secondly, the curriculum structure lacks integrity. The legal education curriculum structure in high school and university is incomplete, with scattered content and significant differences in textbook usage, which cannot meet the learning needs of students; Finally, the coherence of teaching content needs to be strengthened. The lack of systematic and scientific connections in the content of legal education textbooks for primary, secondary, and tertiary schools leads to the waste of educational resources, which affects students' learning enthusiasm and teachers' teaching effectiveness.

3、 Effective Strategies for the Connection of Rule of Law Education in Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Schools

Proposed measures to enhance the effective connection between legal education in primary, secondary, and tertiary schools. Firstly, the importance of building a professional teaching team was emphasized, and it was suggested to strengthen the interaction between teachers and legal professionals, hire teachers with legal backgrounds, and encourage teachers to participate in legal training. Secondly, it is recommended to actively establish a platform for connecting and exchanging ideas, establish a long-term communication mechanism, and carry out thematic research and exchange activities to promote communication and cooperation among legal education workers at different stages. Finally, it was emphasized that relevant departments need to strengthen the connection and management of education and teaching, including the hierarchical and progressive design of textbook content, the overall and hierarchical goal system of rule of law education, and the establishment of a sound evaluation system for rule of law education to promote the comprehensive development of rule of law education.

4、 Conclusion

Rule of law education is crucial for the growth of young people, but currently there is a lack of integrated design for rule of law education in primary, secondary, and tertiary schools, which limits the effectiveness of education. By establishing a professional team of teachers, building communication platforms, and strengthening management, it is possible to promote effective connection of legal education in various stages and enhance educational effectiveness. Viewing legal education in primary, secondary, and tertiary schools as a whole and planning teaching practices from the perspective of system construction can help promote the development of legal education and guide students' healthy growth.
