The plan, which incorporates eight Chinese central government departments including the Ministries of Education and Public Security, aims to comb out any "hidden troubles" menacing children's security in and around schools.

It will identify unqualified school teachers and workers and speed up criminal investigations on campuses, Xinhua news agency reported.

The plan orders local governments to set up special work teams, which will clear out all internet bars, bookstores, buffets, karaoke halls and game pubs near local schools and kindergartens.

Officials from local fire control, health and construction departments will be sent to supervise fire prevention, food security, medical treatment and building security within campuses.

Unqualified teachers, administrative personnel, security guards and other workers in kindergartens and schools will be dismissed from their jobs. This is because many of the attacks on students were caused by staff with physical or mental problems, the report said.

Meanwhile, the campaign also set deadlines for solving the recent attack cases and for severely punishing them.

In August, a janitor stabbed 15 children and three teachers at a Beijing kindergarten, killing one child.
