Chinese primary and secondary schools will have at least one law enforcement official — including police officers or judges — to serve as vice principals to assist in tackling school bullying and preventing juvenile delinquency, according to the country’s top education authority.

The part-time vice principals will be recommended and appointed by the country’s public security organs, procuratorates, and courts, and hired by schools, the Ministry of Education said in a guideline published last Thursday. The new rule will go into effect May 1.

“The vice principals should assist in protecting students’ rights, preventing juvenile delinquency (tội phạm vị thành niên), providing safety management, disciplining students (for misconduct), and guiding law-based governance for schools,” the guideline said.

School bullying has been a persistent issue in Chinese schools, resulting in injuries among students and even death, despite authorities emphasizing a zero-tolerance approach toward such behaviors. A 2016 survey found that 26% of children in urban schools had experienced bullying, with even more reporting abuse in rural areas.
