March 28 is the national safety education day for primary and secondary school students. All over the country have organized public security, fire control, safety supervision and other departments to enter schools and classrooms, so that students can experience how to correctly deal with the safety risks around them from a zero distance, and send the annual safety "big gift bag" to children. The establishment of a special safety education day for primary and secondary school students began in 1996 and has been the 27th so far. This system has made a positive contribution to improving the safety knowledge of primary and secondary school students and ensuring the healthy growth of children. For growing children, safety is the most precious. Safety education for primary and secondary school students is to comprehensively and deeply promote safety education for primary and secondary school students, so that children can better identify risks, prevent and control risks and deal with risks on the road of growth, so as to reduce the incidence of various casualty accidents. However, objectively speaking, in recent years, China's campus safety situation is not optimistic, and campus safety accidents occur frequently. Of course, the reasons for this severe situation are various, but one of the important reasons is that primary and secondary school students lack the necessary safety awareness and safety ability. Primary and secondary school students lack the necessary safety awareness and safety ability, which shows that there are shortcomings and deficiencies in the safety education for primary and secondary school students. Take the drowning of the "first killer" who causes the accidental death of primary and secondary school students. According to incomplete statistics, about 57000 people die from drowning every year in China, of which teenagers account for a large proportion. Drowning people often float in the water with their face down and almost upright, which is mistaken for a normal diving state, resulting in untimely rescue and drowning. Professionals pointed out that it is not recommended that swimmers without rescue training rush into the water for rescue, let alone hand in hand rescue on the shore. These methods are easy to lead to more drowning incidents. For example, in June 2020, seven primary school students in Tongnan District of Chongqing drowned in trying to rescue a drowning companion, resulting in a bloody lesson. Life safety is the premise of all knowledge learning and ability training. If the safety of life cannot be guaranteed, all the ideals, significance and values of life will become nothingness. However, most of the time, under the pressure of exam oriented education and entrance examination, student safety education is often marginalized. It is normal to lack time, lack of resources, become a mere formality and lack of practical exercises. Many schools turn "safety education" into "safety management". As long as there is no accident here and now, they will try to fill students' time with courses that can produce "scores". Under the influence of this utilitarian educational policy, many primary and secondary school students will not use dry powder fire extinguishers until they grow up, let alone correctly deal with more sudden and urgent safety risks? In comparison, some developed countries are more "distracted" in safety education for primary and secondary school students. The results of safety education are directly reflected in that students generally have a strong sense and ability of self-protection. For example, as an island country with frequent natural disasters, Japanese schools have always been committed to communicating and coordinating with students' parents and other relevant departments, organizing students to participate in fire prevention, earthquake prevention and disaster prevention exercises, and their safety education has completely infiltrated students' daily life. Through legislation, Russia takes the basic knowledge of life safety as a compulsory course. According to the principle of step-by-step, students in grades 1-11 learn courses such as school safety measures, risk factors in cities, natural disasters and accidents and human safety, criminal extreme abnormalities, etc. safety education has become an important content of the socialization of primary and secondary school students in Russia. Mr. Ye Shengtao said: "what teachers are engaged in is not industrial assembly line, but cultivating seedlings that thrive." Security is the premise of development. Primary and secondary school students are in the growth stage and need to grow and improve both physically and intellectually. It is not only necessary but also necessary to strengthen safety education in the primary and secondary education stage. On the national safety education day for primary and secondary school students, we should take advantage of this opportunity to organize and carry out targeted safety education. We should be more vigilant against the bad tendency of formalizing, marginalizing and superficializing students' safety education, establish a correct concept of safety education, ensure the routine, diversification and systematization of safety education, and truly take care of the healthy growth of primary and secondary school students.
