As most schools in China began the new semester on September 1, China's Ministry of Education called upon all schools and kindergartens nationwide to strengthen measures to ensure campus safety.

Local education departments around China should, as soon as possible, provide all primary and secondary schools, as well as kindergartens, with safety personnel.

Other safety measures should also be intensified to ensure a flawless campus safety system.

Schools in disaster-affected regions have also been asked to conduct thorough checks on school buildings affected by recent floods and mudslides, to eliminate any safety risks.
