Law on school security urged

BEIJING - Legislators and legal experts are pushing for a law on campus security to ensure the safety of students and teachers, following a string of school attacks that has caused nationwide concern.

Various central government departments and schools across the country have already boosted efforts to ensure campus safety, after at least eight children died in five cases in the past 40 days.

However, experts said it is urgent to continue pushing for a mechanism through legislation to authorize and standardize campus security measures, instead of just a campaign to beef up security.
