China education systems and educational institutions ban the use of mobile phones, virtual gadgets and any apps that can distract learners from focusing at school. The Ministry is tightening the control of phones devices to ensure they are not being used at school and students are banned from accessing illegal sites, games or any videos during the school hours to create a stimulating environment for all the students to contribute all effort in learning to gain top scores and increase the education competition around the world!

This will lead to a positive online environment which will minimise bullying, wrong use of social media platforms and eliminate the negative use of online platforms as it can be very toxic amongst the students.

The cybercrime authority will investigate to target illegal apps and unethical use of social platforms to keep a safe online environment and clean any viruses or damaging content. The network team will build a secure network across the school platforms, so they do not have the permission to download any unauthorised content related to pornography, gambling and gaming on the school computers.

Teachers are advised to not recommend apps to students without approval and will have to more cautious to let their children know not to download apps or content online they are not sure about to maintain a healthy, positive online setting.
