China's Ministry of Public Security has asked local public security organs across the country to strengthen security measures in primary schools, middle schools and kindergartens to ensure the safety of students and teachers.

On a video conference on strengthening school security and social stability, the ministry urged local public security authorities to work with education authorities and identify and tackle potential risks on campus.

It also called for enhanced security measures on campuses, including equipping full-time security guards, and installing "one-button alarm" systems and surveillance devices.
