A report has been issued on campus safety in China.

It was initiated by the Ministry of Education and some colleges and universities, aiming to increase safety systems inside and outside campuses.

Yu Yadong is the deputy inspector of the Ideology and Politics Section of the Ministry of Education.

"We should put emphasis on the main channel of the classes and the entire process of teaching and educating so as to increase the sense of safety and safeguard abilities of students."

The report studied 33 major safety incidents in 2015.

Of the on-campus incidents, food poisoning and campus violence accounted for half of the safety incidents in kindergartens, elementary and secondary schools.

Fires and explosions mainly occurred at universities, accounting for 86 percent of the total college safety incidents.

Experts said 80 percent of the incidents could have been avoided by carrying out emergency and safety education as well as exercises against disasters to raise the abilities of primary and middle school students to save themselves during emergencies.
