On the afternoon of November 24, 2023, a distressing sudden death of a student occurred in a primary school in Xuecheng District. According to Mr. Guan, his daughter suddenly fell to the ground during rope skipping, running, and basketball activities organized by the school, and although the school called the 120 emergency number in time, unfortunately, when the ambulance arrived at the scene, the child had no vital signs.
This incident sounded the safety alarm for all teachers, students and parents of the school. What are the causes of sudden student deaths, and are there any safety hazards in the organization of sports activities in schools? These questions have aroused widespread concern.
It is understood that the students were doing physical activities on the playground at the time of the incident, not physical education classes. Activities such as rope skipping, running, and basketball organized by the school are aimed at improving students' physical fitness and exercise ability, but such a tragedy has occurred. Mr. Guan said that his daughter was usually in good health and had no history of any illness, but the sudden death was very sudden.
The local education bureau and the school involved have launched an investigation into the incident. According to the medical certificate (inference) of the resident's death, the cause of the child's death was described as "sudden cardiac death". This result deeply shocked and saddened both parents and schools.
Some experts point out that sudden cardiac death is usually caused by heart disease or other underlying health problems. Schools should understand and assess students' physical conditions when organizing physical activities, and special attention and care should be given to students with underlying health problems. In addition, schools should strengthen training and drills on first aid measures to ensure that emergency treatment can be carried out quickly and effectively.
In response to this incident, the education department and schools should deeply reflect on and strengthen safety management measures. First of all, schools should strengthen the supervision and organization of sports activities to ensure that the activities are carried out in a safe and orderly manner. At the same time, schools should also strengthen the understanding and monitoring of students' physical health, and should give special attention and care to students with potential health problems.
In addition, the education department should also strengthen the supervision and guidance of school safety management to ensure that all school safety measures are effectively implemented. At the same time, the education department should also strengthen communication and cooperation with parents, and jointly pay attention to the health and growth of children.
The sudden death of a student is a painful lesson. We should attach great importance to the physical health and growth and development of children, and strengthen school safety management measures to ensure the safety and health of every child. At the same time, we should also strengthen the cultivation and education of children's safety awareness and improve their self-protection ability.
In short, the sudden death of a student in Xuecheng District Primary School has aroused widespread attention and reflection. We should take this as a lesson and strengthen school safety management measures and the cultivation of students' safety awareness, so as to jointly create a safe and harmonious environment for children to grow up. At the same time, we also hope that the relevant departments can give a fair and open response to the results of the investigation and handling of this incident, so that the deceased can rest in peace and give a reasonable explanation to the family and the public.
