Children's deaths spark call for tougher law

Experts are calling for legislation and tougher punishment to better regulate school bus services after 11 were killed in an accident in Hunan province.

"China's school bus safety rules are just administrative regulations, lacking the enforcement power that laws have," said Yu Yafeng, an education and school safety professor at Beijing Normal University.

"Without sufficient legal clout and adequate supervision, recommended safety protocols, vehicle quality criteria and driver training rules are usually poorly implemented," Yu added.
