The Education Bureau will cooperate with professional manufacturers to implement anti-candid camera detection, and 80 school inspections have been completed by June this year.

Wu Lisen responded to the inquiry and pointed out that the bureau and the school have already grasped the situation, and the school has also completed the school security report. It is currently continuing to clarify network-related information and necessary processing. It will also protect personal information, including the parties or perpetrators, to ensure that it does not violate the Personal Information Law and the Child and Child Law.

Huang Wenyi suggested that the school should explain to the outside world as soon as possible to avoid the spread of wrong information. At the same time, it should explain clearly how to handle and what preventive mechanisms are in place for similar incidents in the future?

Wu Lisen explained that the school is preparing a response and should be able to explain to the public today that anti-candid photography is a key policy promoted by the Education Bureau. It will cooperate with professional manufacturers to conduct random inspections of all schools in Gao City every month. As of June this year, 80 school inspections have been completed. Subsequently, the State Education Department has not yet launched a project subsidy for monitor demand, giving schools the opportunity to purchase higher-end anti-candid photography equipment.

Huang Wenyi believes that the frequency of anti-candid photography detection should be increased. Wu Lisen emphasized that in addition to the cooperation between the Education Bureau and manufacturers, the school itself also has related equipment and will upgrade it in the future.
