Regular safety inspections of each month, in addition to random checks of day 4 a janitor of the school plus 2 school officials on duty. Three school 6 CCTV cameras. Hubei qianjiang third primary thought and secure security of Haokou Town line, on this Tuesday morning was defeated. In broad daylight, dressed in a red blouse scoundrel with homemade knives, pistols, explosives and gasoline into the classroom and threaten the safety of teachers and students.

　　Rural schools open

This rural campus is located in Haokou Town edges. Standing in a field will be able to see out of the window of the classroom, throughout the campus there are three gates, two in front and one behind the school. These school is oldest coated yellow and white paint, with primary stainless steel doors is far from the city.

Positive school "wall" is a much lower ranking school of fencing, steel rust, old, top row of spines. This row of fence doesn't even stop some mischievous students, not to mention about gangsters.

School lane to the right and a row of "wall". Is not a fence, is lower than the front fence of iron fences, has rust, doesn't seem too tight.

Teaching in schools, student hostels and canteens, big playground with an iron gate. Cross gates, turning down a House, is in vain: in schools. This is a tin shack, a large space. Table Center pieces very straight and neat rows of blue.

The playground behind the school canteen. After the 10th hijacking incident, students and teachers is arranged where hedge.

Principal Gong Siming told reporters that in the past, schools with outside the village of maiden together, all village folks, get along pretty well over the years.

　　Regular screening irregular sampling

Campus security have not attracted the attention of local authorities and schools.

Gong Siming introduced so far this year, schools become key areas of security, each month, the city authorities to check school security, including construction safety, traffic safety, fears the violence outside the school gate, canteens, security, and so on. Sometimes, random checks of the month, "our school test results, safety awareness has increased. "Gong Siming said.

In addition, introduced Gong Siming, schools also arrange two school officials will be on duty every day. Three gates, hired 4 security guards, are elderly people. Each school also comes with two cameras, 24-hour monitoring.

Journalists in a janitor's Office to see that room of about 10 square meters, there is a bed, a desktop computer, a desk and a few chairs. There are two pages on the desktop, are two of the front door surveillance camera. A doorman told her, eyes are not so good, is to see someone appear in the picture, not necessarily realize it was dangerous.

10th afternoon, journalists called on a computer to see the videos at the time, higher screen resolution does not, reporters seem more laborious.

How suspect Zhang Zeqing into schools? And how openly carrying dangerous goods entering the building, found on the second floor of the six grade class? Police investigators said, has yet to find the exact cues.

Haokou Town station a police said, this year April late, local police sector on has to each elementary and middle schools and the kindergarten issued had notification, said "I town Xu bridge village four group has a Zhang surname men, age in 65 age around, height 1.65 meters around, hair short, skin partial black, often with a hearing aids, due to involved gun involved burst, was criminal punishment had, heart born discontent, threatened to revenge school, and Government, and Court,".

This is equivalent to prior safety warning, but still can not take threats and risks blocking off campus.

　　Rural school security can no longer be ignored

Reporters learned that hijacked three grade six class, 12 year old Zheng Yutong had to persuade the suspects, showing considerable courage and resourcefulness. Afterwards, Qin Kaimei abducted female teachers told reporters, in fact more than Zheng Yutong, several students are persuaded the old man don't get excited. "Their courage, poise and wit, the teacher made me feel proud. ”

These lovely students, mostly from the surrounding villages, they also need the adult world of childhood care and protection. But look old school buildings, rusted iron bars, a few elderly, almost an open campus for security but to expose them to potential danger.

10th near the school, school's Gate were filled with a child's parents. Villagers told reporters that never before had so many people, after the hostage incident, parents began to worry about the children's safety.

Indeed, the safety of rural schools should not blind us to the place. Huang Zhenhua rural issues management center of Huazhong Normal University in rural areas for monitoring research, rural education has its own recipe. He told reporters that Ho hijacking of three small schools in rural areas are suffering extreme event, not universally, but security problems are common in rural schools.

He said Ho c is very small number of students, faculty, and campus facilities, still a relatively good conditions in rural schools. More rural schools lack teachers with poor facilities, greater security risks exist.

First, shortage of teachers, teaching is tight, how can follow. Second, the hardware is bad, bad guys in and out is easy. Third, inadequate investment in human and material resources, are weak.

Experts believe that is ultimately unequal distribution of educational resources, which includes not only teachers and supplies are outfitted with uneven, safety awareness, managing the whole into an education level of short boards. National education and balanced development of rural school security should not be overlooked, Ho c is very small the hostage-taking incident, sounded the alarm in an extreme way.
