Definition
管教 (guǎn jiào) means 'to discipline, supervise, and educate', especially in a parent-child or teacher-student context. It is more focused on correction and control than 教育 (jiào yù 'educate'), and more personal than 监管 (jiān guǎn 'supervise/regulate'). Colloquially, it can also mean 'to guarantee, to be sure' (e.g., 管教能…).
