The ministry of education and four other departments: the ministry of education and the ministry of

On 25 march, the ministry of education, in conjunction with the ministry of public security, the ministry of emergency response management and the general directorate of market supervision, deployed in 2026 the national security programme for primary and secondary schools and kindergartens, with a clear mandate to focus on core tasks, overhaul and overhaul, improve school safety in all its aspects, and firmly adhere to the red line of safety and stability on campuses. As original creators focused on the interpretation of people’s policies, today we are taking the four core deployments down with words to see what changes are directly related to our children’s schooling and school life, and what real security policies can provide to our children when they fall。

I. Landing of the four core deployments and full campus security coverage

This joint deployment of the four departments, with no empty language, targeted each of the critical points of safety on the campus and was highly targeted, focusing on four main sectors: physical and mental health, bullying prevention, upscaling, risk prevention and control, covering the entire spectrum of children from school to school, from classroom to school。

1. Mental health + physical security to secure child health root

Now children must not only learn well, but also be physically and mentally healthy. For the first time in 2026, school safety made mental health and physical and mental well-being a central task, requiring a “two-pronged approach” that radically changed the past performance, physical and mental。

On the one hand, comprehensive mental health promotion. Local mental health teachers are required to be equipped and equipped with school psychological counselling units, supported by the national mental health advisory board, “with teachers, premises and professional support”. At the same time, the mental health monitoring and early warning mechanisms for students are being developed to ensure early detection of psychological fluctuations in children through daily observation, periodic evaluation, and timely intervention to prevent minor problems from becoming a serious problem。

On the other hand, the student health operation is being implemented. Intensive follow-up monitoring, such as a “sun watch”, ensures that every student has a daily physical activity schedule in his or her school, and that physical education classes are no longer occupied and children remain in their seats. In addition, useful activities such as art exhibitions, labour practices, outdoor outreach and reading campaigns are being carried out to support the introduction of spring and autumn breaks for primary and secondary schools in areas where they are in a position to do so, so that children can release stress and develop sunlight in their sports and practices。

It is a matter of concern to parents that students ' physical and mental health has been included in school examinations and education supervision priorities and that schools are afraid to reproduce. At the same time, it will improve the coordination mechanisms between schools and schools, through parents ' meetings, parents ' classes, etc., to guide parents to stay with their children in order to combine school, family and social care for their children's mental health。

2. Building long-lasting mechanisms to combat bullying so that every child can go to school

School bullying is one of the most serious concerns of parents, and the deployment has clearly identified the development of long-lasting mechanisms to prevent and combat bullying in schools, so as to ensure that children are not victimized by early screening, early detection and early disposal。

First, a “bottom-up” check is conducted. All primary and secondary schools should be fully combed, focusing on the existence of hidden bullying, isolation, and so forth, without leaving a single person behind. Secondly, explicit abuse of borders, sound school discipline, hierarchical application of educational discipline — minor bullying, prompt educational correction, severe bullying in accordance with the law and direct referral of suspected offenders to the judiciary are not tolerated。

At the same time, priority is given to special groups. (b) provide accurate care and support for children left behind, children with disabilities, orphans and students with anaexic, truancy and violent tendencies, establish exclusive records, communicate regularly, provide psychological guidance and life support, and prevent these children from becoming targets of bullying or potential perpetrators。

Parents can rest assured that schools regularly provide education on the subject of bullying among students, that teachers have the means to identify bullying, that they intervene first when they find it, and that units such as the united women's federation strengthen guidance on family education to guide parents to deal rationally with children's conflicts and to safeguard their development environment。

3. Full coverage of security upgrades and no safety-blindness from school gate to campus sector

School security is the safety floor, and in 2026 it was requested that the building upgrades be secured, that technology and systems be put in place to ensure that parents send their children to school and that the children attend school。

One is a robust rapid response mechanism. (c) deepening its engagement with the public security organs to achieve full coverage of the campus with a single key alert to ensure rapid response and timely handling of emergencies, while promoting intellectual security, digitally enabling the safe management of the campus and making it more accurate and efficient。

The second is the risk of global mapping. Focused school buildings, canteens, laboratories, school doors and the surrounding five main areas of focus, with enhanced gate watch and internal patrols, to enable early detection and rehabilitation of hazards. (c) strict implementation of the system of access, prohibition of employment and compulsory reporting by teaching staff, to eliminate security risks such as sexual abuse from the source and to safeguard the safety of children。

Thirdly, it regulates campus perimeter management. In conjunction with the market supervision department, it cleans up illegal publications, substandard stationery toys and cards, blind boxes, etc. That endanger the physical and mental health of minors, and cleans up the surroundings of the campus so as not to jeopardize the healthy development of children。

In addition, cooperation with the public security authorities will be undertaken to resolve conflicts in schools, mitigate risks in advance and avoid the risk of escalation affecting school security。

4. Four major special operations are operational, with precision and control of high-frequency security risks

In addition to the core deployments, the four departments have launched four special operations to provide accurate advice on high-frequency security risks in schools, covering four main areas of travel, water, network and food safety for children, each of which is closely related to their daily lives。

(i) a special focus on the protection against drowning: focus on priority waters and secure lines of defence

In the summer, during a high incidence of drowning, the operation focused on key points and priority waters, requiring improved warning signs, protective facilities, enhanced daily patrols, early warning systems in areas with high incidences of accidents, early detection of risks and early intervention. At the same time, parents are being reminded, through home-school communication and safety education, to strengthen the care of their children, to prevent them from playing in the wild, and to firmly prevent the recurrence of drowning。

(ii) traffic safety special: escort to and from school to avoid security risks

School safety for children is a top priority, and in 2026 the completion of the student traffic safety promotion action plan (2023-2026) will focus on two core issues。

The first was the rehabilitation of “black school vehicles” and the irregular delivery of vehicles. The focus is on the use of vehicles by students in rural schools, the detection of unskilled, overloaded “black school vehicles” and the regulation of school buses and delivery vehicles to ensure the safety of the children。

The second is to regulate traffic at the entrance to the campus. A buffer zone is set up at the entrance of the school, the lifting and landing poles are rationalized, the separation of vehicles in the school is administered, the movement of staff and vehicles is regulated, traffic safety education is provided, children are guided to traffic rules, motor vehicles are not driven under the age of the law, the wearing of safety helmets on electric vehicles is regulated, and safety belts are self-conscious in the vehicle。

(3) specialization in cybersecurity: cleaning up the network environment and improving fraud prevention

As children become younger and younger, the risks of cyber-fraud, school loans, cyber-violence, etc. This special campaign on cyber security, in collaboration with the internet and public security authorities, has intensified efforts to improve the network environment, to clean up the problems of the `crunch' of “pollution, cyber-violence, etc., and to build a school space。

At the same time, students ' online literacy education is being strengthened, fraud prevention is being disseminated, and children are being taught to identify telecommunication network fraud, school loans, substance abuse and new types of drugs, so as to enhance their ability to protect themselves from cyber traps。

(4) food safety special: safeguarding “security on the tip of the tongue”

Safe and healthy food for children at school is the basic requirement of parents. This deployment requires a strict overhaul of food security in schools, tightening of the regulatory responsibility of the market, strict access, clear designation of contracted enterprises in contracted school canteens, strengthening of day-to-day supervision and screening, and legal penalties for violations of the law and inclusion on the list of serious breaches of the law。

The school canteens are equipped with “three-stop” facilities, regulate the purchase, processing and storage of food items, strictly enforce a system of training of practitioners and improve food safety and security. At the same time, the school principals and school principals have been put in place to identify and resolve the problems of the dining environment, the quality of the food items, and to reassure parents and children。

Ii. Policy focus interpretation: three issues of greatest concern to parents, one statement

As the author of the reading of the people's policies, i know that the most important concern of all is whether these policies can land or not, what the real benefits are for the children, and how the parents can work together。

1. Bright spot one: more clear responsibility, who's responsible and what's clear

One of the greatest highlights of this deployment was the clear division of sectoral responsibilities, school responsibilities and parental responsibilities, so as to avoid a situation of “unmanageable and unmanageable”。

The education sector takes the lead in setting targets for evaluation and urges schools to put in place a security management system; the public security department is responsible for school policing, traffic safety, crime and crime prevention, and is equipped with a vice-principal of the rule of law to assist schools in dealing with emergencies; the emergency management department guides school disaster prevention and mitigation, emergency response exercises; and the market supervision department is responsible for school food security, perimeter product control。

As the main subject, schools are required to carry out safety screening, safety education, emergency drills, equipped with safety facilities and professionals. Parents are required to exercise their responsibility of guardianship, cooperate with schools in providing safety education, take care of the child's mental and physical state, and work together to establish safety lines。

When the responsibility is clear, problems can be met with precision, without pushing each other in the direction of real security measures。

2. Bright spot two: more comprehensive coverage, from campus to home

In the past, many campus security policies focused only on the campus, and this time in 2026, the "school + home + society" was fully covered, with no security implications。

From school buildings, canteens, laboratories, to transportation, operating premises around the campus; from the mental health, physical well-being of children in school to safety of transport and protection from drowning on the way to and from school; from school security, to family custody and to the environmental clean-up of society, every element is covered by safety and security controls。

For example, the prevention of drowning involves not only schools, but also parents, and the strengthening of community visits to key water resources; traffic safety not only fixes school buses, but also regulates the behaviour of children travelling and travelling; food safety not only checks school canteens, but also out-of-school feeding units and catering enterprises. In this way, the full range of controls can truly guarantee the safety of the child。

3. Brighter three: more pragmatic and less formal with concrete hands

There were no slogans for this deployment, and each of them had concrete catch-up to ensure that the policy was not formal。

For example, there are specific requirements for mental health “to equip mental health teachers and establish monitoring and early warning mechanisms”; hard indicators of physical health “to tan classes and ensure daily physical activity time”; specific actions to combat bullying “to start a bottom-up screening, grade-level discipline”; and specific measures for traffic safety “to fix black buses and create buffer zones”。

At the same time, local authorities are called upon to incorporate school safety into the appraisal process, to strengthen dedicated supervision, to ensure serious accountability for areas and schools where implementation is not in place and to make policies work. Parents can actually feel that these policies are not “papers”, but practical actions that are truly for the safety of children。

Iii. How should parents cooperate? 3 practical advice to help children grow up safely

School security is not a “one-way play” for schools and governments, but rather a “singing together” that requires the collaboration of the school. As parents, it is possible to provide more comprehensive safety and security for children by combining the policy with three practical recommendations:

1. Proactive care of the child's physical and mental state and family safety education

It takes 10 minutes a day to talk to the kids about school life and ask them if they're happy today。

At the same time, children are provided with safety information: traffic rules are observed, they do not go to the wild, they do not believe in strangers, they do not eat substandard snacks and stationery, and they seek help from teachers and parents in time for danger. In particular, knowledge of fraud prevention, school mortgages and the prevention of new types of drugs should be repeatedly reminded to keep children in mind。

2. Actively cooperate with schools and develop a family unit

In schools, parents are actively involved in safety education, hazard screening and psychological counselling, and attend parent conferences and classes on a regular basis to learn safety knowledge and educational methods, which are not infrequent or contradictory。

In cases where the child is found to be anaemic, depressed, or where there is a security risk in the vicinity of the campus, it is necessary to communicate with teachers and schools in a timely manner to work together to solve the problem. Don't lose sight of it out of fear of trouble. The safety and health of children are paramount。

3. Proactive oversight of policy implementation and joint maintenance of the security environment

Parents may take the initiative to monitor the implementation of safety measures in schools, such as checking the normality of the school-based one-key alarm device, the availability of fresh meals in the canteen, and the compliance of school buses. If problems are identified, feedback is provided to schools or relevant departments in a timely manner to facilitate their rectification。

At the same time, it is conscientiously opposed to products and behaviours that endanger children's physical and mental health, and does not purchase substandard stationery or bad card cards, or disseminate bad information to children and together create a safe and healthy environment for their development。

Wrap-up: hold the safety line and keep the kids safe

The ministry of education, among others, has jointly deployed school safety work in 2026, from mental health, bullying prevention and prevention to four special operations, each of which is tailored to the campus's safety pains and with practical initiatives and clear responsibilities, a comprehensive safety net has been made up for the children。

As parents, we need both to believe in the power of policy and to work proactively with schools and the relevant departments, so that we can truly maintain the red line on campus. The safety of children is a prerequisite for all education and the aspiration of every family. In 2026, let us work together so that every child can grow and learn happily in a safe and healthy environment。
