Monday in the last week of March every year is the "safety education day" for primary and middle school students in our country. This was determined by the relevant departments in 1996.
Safety accidents have become the first cause of death for children under 14. Campus safety involves more than 20 kinds of hidden dangers in teenagers' life and study: food poisoning, sports injury, online friend-making safety, traffic accidents, fire hazards, drowning, drug hazards, sexual assault, AIDS and so on.
Some experts pointed out that 80% of accidental injuries can be avoided by improving the self-protection ability of primary and secondary school students through safety education. In order to comprehensively and deeply promote safety education in primary and secondary schools, vigorously reduce the incidence of all kinds of casualty accidents, do a good job in safety protection for primary and secondary school students and promote their healthy growth, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Railways, the State Sports Commission and the Ministry of Health jointly issued a notice at the beginning of 1996, and decided to establish a national "safety education day" system for primary and secondary school students.
