Wang Yuequn, an expert in educational legal system at the Academy of Educational Sciences, said that protecting students' safety is the common responsibility of schools, families and society. In order to eliminate potential safety hazards, schools should really incorporate safety education into education and teaching content, guide students to establish safety awareness, master safety knowledge and improve their self-protection ability. Parents should earnestly fulfill their guardianship responsibilities for their children and take safety education as an important part of family education.
