Covering the business of education and training

China's Education bosses have ordered schools across the country to tighten security - no one carrying a knife or gun will be allowed on campus during the upcoming holidays.

Why would they be allowed to carry a gun or a knife on any other occasion?

China has a week-long holiday beginning on May 1st.

The thinking is that accidents are more likely to happen when there are fewer teachers and students on campus.

If a crime occurs on campus...China says they will hold school officials accountable. Not a bad idea, eh?

Crimes at primary and middle schools decreased 19.7% in China from '05 to '06. But in a rare confessions of weakness the government also said there were 43 students killed in criminal acts in China in the first nine months of last year.

In one such attack, a 19-year old villager locked himself in a room with 21 kindergartener and set fire, the burning kind, killing three and injuring 14 others.

Is there a way to keep our campuses safe from would be criminals?
