Guideline to enhance security on campuses

Shanghai will establish a 200-meter safe zone around schools, according to a guideline designed to enhance campus security that was released by the municipal government on Wednesday, as students started their first day in the city's public schools.

The guideline also covered on-campus security education, food safety, online addiction prevention, on-campus bullying, school bus management and emergency response, among other topics.

The guideline - a response to the central government's call to make every school campus "the sunniest and safest place" for children - clarified how security zones would be set up around school campuses.
