Abstract
Due to their immature physical and mental states and inadequate social experience, minors are particularly susceptible to various forms of harm, which could be from their homes, schools, and other environments. These adverse experiences can profoundly affect their physical and mental health and academic performance (Walsh et al., 2019), as well as their future growth and development. Hence, how to ensure the safety of minors has been a key issue in educational and social governance. Many countries have instituted laws and regulations to safeguard the rights and interests of minors. Teachers, as a group having regular communication with children, are one of the major forces in protecting the young generation. To enable teachers to successfully fulfill their protective duties, it is essential to systematically incorporate education on minors protection legislation into pre-service teacher training programs.
