New rules to slap down school bullying[1]- Chinadaily.com.cn

China Daily  

A number of girls beat and kick a fellow female student who kneels down on the ground in Yongxin county, Jiangxi province. China will roll out new guidelines to prevent bullying and violence in middle and primary schools before the end of November, according to the Ministry of Education. A system of recording major bullying incidents will be set up, while a specially-assigned person will manage, investigate, coordinate and deal with bully incidents in each region, predict the behavior of key student groups and levy educational punishment to responsible persons of slight bullying incidents. Police and judicial staff are invited to schools to give lectures, and education institutions are asked to improve measures for preventing and handling bullying, and to establish an emergency plan for serious incidents. In late June, a viral five-minute video showed a school girl being repeatedly slapped and beaten by a group of girls in Yongxin county, Jiangxi province.
