Schools to get added help for protecting students

State Council guideline proposes more cooperation with police, community

Schools will work closely with public security authorities to ensure the safety of students at kindergartens, primary schools and middle schools, under a guideline released recently by the State Council.

Police officers will be invited to work at schools, and some will play the role of a part-time vice-principal to deal with safety on campus and be responsible for reprimanding students who engage in bullying or other acts of violence.
