School Children Gather By Classroom Door To Watch Visiting Westerner .

The whole design of the Chinese school appeared to be based on making it attractive to encourage the school children to attend, and then on the safety of the children while they were the responsibility of the school teachers and staff. Entrance to the school was through gates under the control of a warden, so anyone entering the school had to have a good reason for doing so, and children were unable to leave the school grounds without permission. Despite all the security options, the children in the ground floor hall, had full view through the grated door, of any activities on the school yard.

For young children, going to school should be an interesting and attractive adventure, not the start of many years of serious study. Making a school look attractive is certainly one way of encouraging young children to attend school. The school in Jin Jiang Chi Dian gave the impression of being a place where school life meant happy school children! The placing of swings, roundabouts, slides, and other playground attractions, near the school gates, made going to school a happy time, then once in school, their safety was assured by the safety measures in operation.
