Abstract

Abstract Objective To analyze the current status of public health emergency management in primary and secondary schools in Beijing through cross-regional and cross-educational-stage comparisons, providing a scientific basis for optimizing the schools' routine emergency prevention and control systems. Method A multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 399 primary and secondary schools in Beijing for a questionnaire survey. Result In terms of policy implementation, 99.75% of schools achieved near-universal coverage of the "Two Plans and Nine Systems" framework; however, environmental health inspection reporting (16.29%) and student health management/vaccination systems (15.04%) emerged as weak points. The emergency plan formulation rate reached 99.25%, while 67.92% of schools conducted emergency drills once per semester. Regarding resource allocation, basic protective supplies and disinfection materials were well-equipped, though Chi-square tests (χ²) revealed structural disparities in first-aid equipment: suburban areas demonstrated the highest Automated External Defibrillator(AED) configuration rate (99.32%), fixed AEDs showed optimal coverage in primary schools (77.30%), and portable AED availability led in integrated schools (52.00%). Conclusion Beijing's primary and secondary schools have established a public health emergency prevention and control system featuring the "Two Plans and Nine Systems" framework as its top-level design, routine emergency drills as its implementation pathway, and first-aid facility reserves as its foundation. However, three key shortcomings persist: weak implementation of environmental health inspections, insufficiently refined health monitoring, and uneven distribution of emergency medical resources (particularly AEDs). Recommendations include establishing diversified funding mechanisms, optimizing resource allocation pathways, and strengthening inter-departmental collaboration to systematically enhance school emergency management efficacy.

Primary and secondary schools school health Public health emergencies Emergency management Figures Figure 1 1. Background Since the late 1980s, the World Health Organization (WHO) has consistently emphasized the central role of schools in health promotion [ 1 ] . As densely populated settings, schools are high-risk environments for the rapid transmission and spread of public health emergencies. In 1996, WHO first published “Promoting Health Through Schools”. Although it did not explicitly use the term "public health emergencies," this document laid a forward-looking foundation for school-based infectious disease control policies. It established comprehensive prevention measures—including environmental health management, disease surveillance, and reporting systems—creating the groundwork for schools to respond to public health crises. In June 2021, WHO and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) jointly released “Making Every School a Health Promoting School Global Standards and Indicators”, while the 2024 WHO publication “Making Every School a Health-Promoting School”: Implementation Guidance further underscores schools' critical function in managing public health emergencies. Schools serve not only as frontlines for preventing and controlling such emergencies but also as vital venues for cultivating students' health literacy and emergency response capabilities. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) explicitly call to "ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages," schools are a key link in achieving this goal. Against the backdrop of the global COVID-19 pandemic, governments worldwide have strengthened school public health emergency management systems. For instance: France established a school epidemic response framework under the direct leadership of the Prime Minister, coordinated by the Ministry of the Interior and Ministry of Health. The UK government issued interim guidance, Coronavirus(COVID-19):safeguarding in schools, colleges and other providers [ 2 ] . Through measures such as enhancing legal frameworks, intensifying emergency drills, and optimizing resource allocation, countries continue to bolster schools' capacity to respond to public health emergencies. Statistics indicate approximately 75% of China's public health emergencies occur in schools [ 3 ] , typically comprising sudden infectious disease outbreaks, clusters of undiagnosed illnesses, and food/occupational poisoning incidents that pose severe health threats to students and staff due to their abrupt onset, high-risk impact, and public nature [ 4 ] . Infectious diseases dominate these emergencies, accounting for 94.52% of school incidents in Beijing (2010–2020) [ 5 ] . To effectively respond, China promulgated the "Regulations on Public Health in Schools" as early as April 1990, clearly listing strengthening the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases as one of the core tasks of school health work. Since then, the relevant policy system has been continuously improved at the national level: In 2017, the General Office of the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Further Improving the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases and Food Safety in Schools". In 2021, five departments including the Ministry of Education jointly issued documents such as the "Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening and Improving School Health and Health Education in the New Era", all emphasizing the establishment of a long-term prevention and control mechanism and the improvement of a disease prevention system, in order to comprehensively enhance schools' emergency response and health management capabilities in dealing with public health emergencies. In recent years, China has achieved certain results in responding to public health emergencies in schools, especially demonstrating strong institutional advantages in the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus pneumonia. The National Health Commission, in collaboration with the education department, promptly formulated the "Notice on Issuing the Technical Plan for COVID-19 Prevention and Control in Higher Education Institutions, Primary and Secondary Schools, and Kindergartens (Fifth Edition)", and through the establishment of a "two plans and nine systems" prevention and control system, continuously improved the regular epidemic prevention and control mechanism on campus. This system takes the "two plans" (the infectious disease epidemic prevention and control plan and the emergency response plan) as the guiding documents and establishes nine core systems as supporting measures: The reporting system for infectious disease outbreaks, morning and afternoon health checks for teachers and students, tracking of students' absences, verification of certificates for resumption of classes, health management, vaccination, health education, disinfection of venues and environmental inspection systems have been established, forming a three-dimensional prevention and control network covering prevention and monitoring, emergency response and health management. However, in the practice of COVID-19 prevention and control, the emergency management system of schools still exposed several key problems that urgently need to be improved: The emergency plans for public health emergencies in schools lack pertinence and operability; Emergency material reserves have not yet established a scientific and dynamic management mechanism, and the types, quantities and update frequencies of material reserves cannot meet the actual demands. The implementation of the infectious disease prevention and control system is insufficient. When implementing prevention and control measures, there are problems such as being formalistic and inadequate supervision [ 6 – 9 ] . The top-level design of school emergency management, prevention and control capabilities, and the allocation of health resources directly affect the effectiveness of its emergency management for public health emergencies [ 4 ] . The existence of the above-mentioned problems indicates that the school's public health emergency management system still needs to be further optimized and improved from institutional design to practical implementation. Research on public health emergencies in schools mostly focuses on the epidemic characteristics such as the types and outbreak times of infectious diseases, while investigations on the emergency management system, the allocation of emergency resources, and the implementation of infectious disease prevention and control systems are relatively scarce [ 10 – 12 ] . As the capital of China, Beijing assumes a leading role in formulating policies for managing public health emergencies in primary and secondary schools. Given the large number of such institutions, disparities in geographical location, school system types, and resource allocation across Beijing's schools result in varying levels of capacity to address public health emergencies, similar to other regions nationwide. By examining the current state of emergency system construction in Beijing's primary and secondary schools, a more comprehensive understanding can be achieved regarding the differences and commonalities in schools' emergency management capabilities, as well as their existing strengths and challenges. This study employs a multi-stage stratified random sampling method to investigate primary and secondary schools across different regions and school systems in Beijing, analyzing the current status and issues related to school-based public health emergency management, and offering recommendations for enhancing the level of emergency management in this domain. 2. Data and Method 2.1 Investigation Method The sample size was calculated using a cross-sectional study formula: ​ , Z = 1.96 (95% confidence level), E = 0.05 (margin of error), and P = 38.98% (proportion of primary and secondary schools among all Beijing schools in 2023–2024). This yielded a minimum requirement of 365 schools. Accounting for questionnaire validity and return rates, 400 schools were targeted. A multi-stage stratified random sampling approach was implemented: First, districts were allocated proportional sampling quotas based on their school distributions per 2023–2024 Beijing Education Statistics [ 13 ] ; Second, schools within districts were randomly selected via random number tables; Finally, one school physician per school was randomly chosen by lot-drawing to complete the survey (Fig. 1 ). Of 400 distributed questionnaires, 399 valid responses were returned (99.75% validity rate). The study received ethical approval from Capital Medical University (No. Z2023SY093) and was conducted during April-May 2024. 2.2 Composition of the Questionnaire Based on a comprehensive review of literature and expert consultations, guided by the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Public Health System Construction in Schools in Beijing," and in accordance with relevant policies such as the "Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening and Improving School Health and Health Education in the New Era" and the "Regulations on School Health," our research team developed a specialized questionnaire to examine the routine emergency management of public health incidents in primary and secondary schools in Beijing. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire were evaluated through a pre-survey, and subsequent optimizations and improvements were made based on the pre-survey results. The questionnaire utilized in this study was specifically designed for this research (for detailed content, please refer to the supplementary file). It is structured into three sections: The first part is the basic information of the school, including the area where the school is located, the academic system, the number of campuses and the boarding system situation; The second part focuses on the infectious disease prevention and control system, with an emphasis on assessing the implementation and difficulties of the "Two Plans and Nine Systems". The third part examines the emergency management mechanism for public health emergencies in schools, mainly covering core elements such as the formulation of emergency plans, the frequency of emergency drills, the configuration of first aid facilities and equipment (including whether they are equipped and the number of fixed and portable AEDs), the types of emergency material reserves, and the organizational structure of emergency management (including the person in charge of the emergency leadership group). The selected variables mentioned above strictly follow the policy orientation to ensure that the research content is effectively connected with the current institutional norms, and the data collection has policy adaptability and practical guiding value. 2.3 Quality Control Before the questionnaire officially begins, a small-scale pre-survey is conducted to focus on verifying the appropriateness of the item expressions and the feasibility of the survey process, thereby optimizing the questionnaire structure and option Settings. During the formal investigation stage, a standardized data collection process was adopted: Members of the research team sent an electronic letter of the " Questionnaire on the Current Situation of Routine Emergency Management of Public Health Emergencies in Primary and Secondary Schools in Beijing " to the school doctor via WeChat, along with a standardized operation guide including the research background, filling norms and confidentiality declaration. To ensure the quality of data collection, a dedicated person is arranged to track the progress of the filling and implement dynamic Q&A. Before entering the questionnaires, informed consent was obtained from all respondents. A unified database was established during the entry process. EpiData 3.1 software was used for double entry and real-time logical verification to ensure the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of the data. 2.4 Statistical Analysis Methods The statistics of the data were conducted using SPSS version 26.0 software. Frequency, composition ratio and chi-square test were adopted to describe and analyze the basic situation of the school, the emergency prevention and control ability of public health emergencies of the school and the allocation of school health resources. 3 Result 3.1 Basic Information of the School Among the 399 schools surveyed, there are 189 urban schools, 146 schools in the near suburbs and 64 schools in the far suburbs. Among them, there were 185 primary schools (46.37%), 139 middle schools (34.84%), and 75 continuous schools (including nine-year and twelve-year continuous schools) (18.80%). The number of campuses is mainly 1 (63.41%). 76.94% are non-boarding schools. 3.2 Current Situation of Infectious Disease Prevention and Control in Schools The survey results (Table 1 ) show that 99.75% of schools can effectively implement the "Two Plans and Nine Systems". Among them, the top three infectious disease prevention and control systems that are difficult to implement are: the environmental hygiene inspection and notification system (16.29%), the student health management system, and the vaccination system (each accounting for 15.04%).

Regarding the frequency of emergency drills, 67.92% of the schools conduct one drill per semester, 15.79% conduct one drill per quarter, and 9.27% conduct one drill per year.

The allocation rate for surface disinfection supplies (e.g., chlorine-based disinfectants, 75% ethanol disinfectant, etc.) is as high as 98.25%, while the allocation rates for air disinfection supplies (e.g., ultraviolet lamps, air disinfection machines, disinfectants, etc.) (96.49%) and vomit/excrement disinfection supplies (e.g., vomiting emergency disposal kits, etc.) (96.74%) are slightly lower. Regarding emergency medical supplies, 96.49% of schools have equipped automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and other emergency facilities, with a higher allocation rate for fixed AEDs (71.93%) compared to portable AEDs (42.86%). Comparisons of regional and school educational stage factors reveal variations in schools' emergency response capabilities. Chi-square test results demonstrate statistically significant differences in AED and other emergency equipment allocation across regions (χ² = 6.449, P = 0.04). The allocation rate is highest in near suburban areas (99.32%), followed by far suburban areas (96.88%) and urban areas (94.18%). In terms of fixed and portable AED allocation, there are statistically significant differences among school systems for both fixed AEDs (χ² = 10.982, P = 0.027) and portable AEDs (χ² = 11.771, P = 0.019). Specifically, primary schools exhibit a higher allocation rate for fixed AEDs (77.30%) compared to middle schools (69.78%) and all-round schools (62.67%), whereas all-round schools show a higher allocation rate for portable AEDs (52.00%) compared to middle schools (46.76%) and primary schools (36.22%).

In April 2020, the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Prevention and Control of Key Infectious Diseases in Autumn and Winter", requiring local authorities to guide schools in establishing an infectious disease prevention and control system of "two plans and nine systems". At present, 99.75% of primary and secondary schools in Beijing have largely implemented the "two plans and nine systems" framework. However, challenges remain more pronounced in the implementation of specific systems, such as the environmental hygiene inspection and notification system (16.29%), the student health management system, and the vaccination system (each accounting for 15.04%). Firstly, there is the reporting system for hygiene inspections. Environmental hygiene conditions in primary and secondary schools across China exhibit variations based on region and school educational stage. The qualification rates for teaching environmental hygiene are highest in urban areas and primary schools, whereas environmental hygiene management in rural schools, particularly concerning drinking water and toilet hygiene, requires further strengthening [ 14 , 15 ] . This urban-rural disparity (between urban areas and far suburbs) is particularly pronounced in the suburban regions of Beijing. For instance, in Miyun District, the issue of unregulated domestic sewage discharge is significant. Approximately one-quarter of the residents dispose of sewage in non-compliant manners. Furthermore, numerous garbage disposal sites are located in environmentally sensitive areas, such as farmland and river courses, creating persistent pollution sources [ 16 , 17 ] . Such environmental issues are transmitted to campuses through various pathways: sewage seepage compromises the safety of groundwater, potentially impacting the quality of drinking water in school; uncontrolled garbage accumulation exacerbates the risk of disease vector transmission, posing significant hazards for the spread of infectious diseases. These challenges are further exacerbated by the structural constraints commonly encountered by rural schools, including inadequate educational resources, limited financial support, and insufficient decision-making autonomy [ 18 , 19 ] . In this context, the effectiveness of implementing the school hygiene inspection and notification system may be constrained by the following factors: First, governance measures aimed at upgrading infrastructure such as water supply systems, construction of sanitary toilets, and garbage and sewage treatment require sustained financial investment. However, rural and suburban schools typically face rigid constraints due to insufficient financial resources. Second, while the introduction of socialized services (e.g., outsourcing daily campus cleaning and toilet maintenance to professional cleaning companies or entrusting the operation and maintenance of water purification equipment to specialized institutions) can alleviate management pressure and enhance the efficiency of school hygiene management, the quality of service delivery depends heavily on the level of financial support available. Third, the continuous input of external environmental risks combined with systemic shortages in school hygiene management resources creates a cumulative effect, which results in the difficulty of effectively implementing preventive and control measures within the school hygiene inspection and notification system, even when it is established, due to inadequate foundational support. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offers theoretical guidance and practical tools to support schools in developing and implementing environmental health plans. However, given the non-mandatory nature of these measures, the level of enforcement varies significantly across states. Many schools face challenges in effectively managing their environmental hygiene due to insufficient infrastructure, a shortage of dedicated personnel, limited funding, and inadequate training resources [ 20 ] . In Brazil, the operational nature of a school (whether it is public or private) and its geographical location (specifically, whether it is situated in a state capital) also influence the sanitary conditions of the school environment [ 21 ] . Owing to economic limitations and the inadequate enforcement of relevant policies, schools typically lack designated personnel responsible for environmental hygiene inspections and notifications. This, in turn, exacerbates the challenges associated with implementing the hygiene inspection and notification system. The second is the student health management system. Currently, the process of student health management in Chinese primary and secondary schools remains relatively coarse, with inadequate emphasis on health management. The phenomenon of "testing without managing" regarding students' health information is prevalent, and there is a significant shortage of professional health management personnel. These factors substantially impede the effective implementation of student health management systems in schools [ 22 – 24 ] . Health management occupies a significant position within the framework of school health in Japan. All primary and secondary schools in Japan are staffed with dedicated nursing teachers who are responsible for overseeing school health and safety management. These professionals provide personalized health guidance to students, with an emphasis on fostering students' ability and attitude toward identifying and addressing health and safety issues [ 25 ] . The objective of school health management is to systematically collect students' health information, predict the trajectory of their health conditions, provide timely intervention and guidance, and ultimately foster students' proactive adoption of a health-conscious mindset. The third aspect is the vaccination system. Vaccination serves as an effective measure to prevent infectious diseases, mitigate the severity of illness, and decrease the risk of transmission [ 26 ] . The school collaborates with the community health service center to jointly facilitate vaccination efforts. In this partnership, the school is responsible for organizing and coordinating vaccination activities while not imposing mandatory requirements regarding students' vaccination status. For students who are willing to receive vaccination but are unable to do so within the prescribed timeframe due to special circumstances, the school can offer personalized appointment services. It can also assist students and their parents in liaising with the community health service center, flexibly adjust the vaccination schedule, and provide options such as weekend vaccinations or extended vaccination cycles. Currently, countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States have established school-based vaccination programs, offering free vaccination services within schools to enhance the vaccination coverage among school-aged children [ 27 ] . Following the implementation of the school vaccination program, the vaccination rate among students has shown an increase. However, concerns raised by parents regarding the safety of vaccines and the adequacy of the vaccination environment within schools have impacted the further advancement of the school vaccination program [ 27 – 29 ] . Consequently, schools should fully utilize the home-school cooperation mechanism to deliver targeted health education to parents. This can be accomplished through organizing lectures, distributing health handbooks, and disseminating scientific information via social media platforms. These efforts aim to educate parents about vaccines, enhance their confidence in the safety and efficacy of vaccines, transform their behavioral parent lectures, distributing health handbooks, and disseminating scientific information via social media platforms. These efforts aim to enhance parents' understanding of vaccines, strengthen their confidence in vaccine safety and efficacy, modify their attitudes, facilitate the effective implementation of the vaccination system in schools, and ultimately increase the vaccination rate among primary and secondary school students [ 30 – 32 ] . 4.2 The coverage rate of emergency drills for public health incidents in schools is relatively high, and the configuration of relevant materials is gradually being optimized. In 2014, the Ministry of Education issued the "Guidelines for Emergency Evacuation Drills in Primary and Secondary Schools and Kindergartens," explicitly requiring all levels of schools to develop their own emergency drill plans and conduct at least one emergency evacuation drill per month. In China, 98.43% of primary and secondary schools have conducted emergency drills for public health incidents. By contrast, only 64% of schools in the United States have established designated emergency action plans, which underscores the institutional advantages of China's top-level design in emergency management [ 10 , 33 ] . Among these regions, Beijing performs exceptionally well, with 99.25% of schools having formulated emergency response plans. Nevertheless, there remains room for improvement in the dynamic management of these plans, as the updates to emergency plans need to align more closely with the requirements of higher-level documents, particularly to address the evolving nature of new public health risks. Currently, 83.71% of primary and secondary schools in Beijing have established a routine emergency drill mechanism, with no significant variation observed across regions or school educational stage. Nevertheless, 0.25% of schools have never organized any emergency drills, revealing potential blind spots in emergency management. Further guidance and oversight are therefore required. In the process of developing emergency drill plans and conducting routine drills, schools not only evaluate the effectiveness of their emergency response plans but also identify deficiencies in the provision of emergency supplies. In Beijing's primary and secondary schools, a diverse range of emergency supplies is available; however, the availability rate of air disinfection products and disinfection products for vomit and excrement (approximately 96%) is slightly lower compared to other types of emergency supplies. This, to some extent, diminishes the material support for school environmental hygiene inspections and constrains the school's capacity to address and report environmental inspection issues. According to the "Standards for School Health (Medical) Rooms" issued by the National Health Commission in 2024, school health (medical) rooms must be equipped not only with basic first aid equipment such as first aid kits and tourniquets but also, in accordance with the school's emergency response plans, maintain an adequate stock of disinfection products, masks, gloves, non-contact thermometers, hand sanitizers, and other medical supplies. Additionally, expired or damaged hygiene supplies must be updated promptly through regular inspections.To ensure the efficacy of materials and the standardization of management, schools must establish a comprehensive material management system. First, a detailed material inventory should be developed, which at a minimum includes critical information such as the name, specification, quantity, and expiration date of the materials. Second, to further enhance material management, schools can collaborate with procurement platforms to establish a dual-purpose material reserve mechanism that accommodates both routine and emergency scenarios. This mechanism will clarify and refine processes related to material renewal, procurement, storage, and utilization. Through these management measures, it is ensured that emergency and other health-related materials in schools are updated promptly, thereby preventing the use of expired or damaged items and safeguarding the health and safety of faculty and students. While standardizing the storage of emergency materials, the provision of first-aid facilities must also be prioritized. In 2022, the China Education Equipment Industry Association released the "Standard for the Provision of Campus First Aid Facilities and Equipment (Trial)" which specifies that schools at the compulsory education stage must be equipped with one automated external defibrillator (AED) unit. Currently, 96.49% of primary and secondary schools in Beijing have been equipped with automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and other first-aid facilities and equipment. This significant achievement can be largely attributed to the "Notice on Properly Implementing the Configuration of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in Schools" previously issued by Beijing authorities. The notice explicitly stipulates that the procurement costs for AEDs in primary and secondary schools shall be coordinated and resolved by the education commissions of each district, thereby providing a robust financial guarantee for the configuration process. With this policy support, the implementation in Beijing's near suburbs stands out notably, with the equipment rate of first-aid facilities and equipment in schools reaching 99.32%. This has effectively facilitated the widespread adoption of first-aid facilities and equipment in schools and established effective emergency preparedness to mitigate potential school emergencies in suburban areas. In terms of the AED deployment strategy, primary school students generally experience relatively lower academic pressure, engage in more frequent physical education classes and recess activities, and exhibit higher levels of physical activity intensity. Consequently, when deploying AEDs, it is essential to prioritize addressing various potential emergencies. Fixed AEDs, due to their advantages such as conspicuous installation locations, robust stability, and reduced likelihood of being moved or damaged, have been more extensively adopted in primary schools, achieving a configuration rate of 77.30%, which is the highest among all educational systems. Integrated schools, given their broad range of educational stages and large student populations, demonstrate a greater need for portable AEDs, leading to a higher configuration rate of portable AEDs (52.00%). Considering that the current AED configuration in schools has achieved certain outcomes, the next step should focus on enhancing first aid training. In the United States, 76% of teachers, 68% of administrative staff, and 28% of students have undergone CPR training [ 34 ] . In 2021, the Education Office issued the "Notice on Further Promoting School Emergency Rescue Work," emphasizing the implementation of emergency rescue training and the dissemination of emergency rescue knowledge and skills as critical components of school health education and youth quality education. The popularization of emergency rescue knowledge and the practical application skills on campus can be promoted by engaging professional first-aid personnel to deliver training on the use of AEDs and other equipment to teachers and senior students, as well as by integrating first-aid courses into the student health education curriculum. 5. Conclusion The prevention and control system for public health emergencies in primary and secondary schools in Beijing demonstrates a complex characteristic encompassing "a complete institutional framework, a gradient of implementation efficiency, and an imbalance in guarantee levels." The city has constructed a three-dimensional prevention and control framework, with the "two plans and nine systems" institutional network (achieving a coverage rate of 99.75%) serving as the top-level design, the regular emergency drill mechanism (with a popularization rate of 83.71%) functioning as the implementation pathway, and the first-aid facility configuration system (with an AED coverage rate of 96.49%) providing hardware support. Notably, the near suburbs have attained an ultra-high configuration rate of 99.32% for first-aid facilities, underscoring the systematic integration capability of public health governance in the capital. However, the phenomenon of gradient attenuation in prevention and control effectiveness merits attention, primarily manifesting in the following aspects: (1) The enforcement of environmental hygiene management is inadequate. The implementation rate of the environmental hygiene inspection and notification system remains relatively low (only 16.29%), reflecting the combined impact of delayed risk management in off-campus environmental governance and insufficient allocation of on-campus hygiene management resources. To address these challenges, a comprehensive governance framework integrating "financial guarantee - diversified fundraising - school and local collaboration" should be established: Firstly, enhance government special allocations with a focus on prioritizing the renovation of water supply and toilet facilities in rural schools; secondly, establish a diversified funding mechanism combining "government subsidies, social donations, and user fees," encouraging enterprises and public welfare organizations to participate in school environmental hygiene services, thereby alleviating financial burdens and ensuring sustainable funding for socialized services; finally, collaborate with environmental protection departments to address sewage and garbage issues surrounding schools, mitigating the adverse effects of off-campus pollution on campus environments. Through multi-stakeholder cooperation, the issues of insufficient funding and resource scarcity can be progressively resolved. (2) There is a notable deficiency in the provision of refined guidance within health monitoring systems. Presently, health monitoring predominantly emphasizes information collection, significantly lagging behind Japan's sophisticated management approach, which incorporates professional nursing teachers to provide trend-based health guidance and proactive intervention strategies. To address the issue of insufficiently detailed health monitoring, it is recommended to integrate Japan's advanced health management model with cutting-edge digital technologies, establish a district-level school health big data center, and develop an electronic health record system equipped with trend warning functionalities. Each school should appoint a clinically qualified health manager. By leveraging big data technology, critical data such as student absenteeism rates and abnormal physical examination values can be systematically collected and analyzed to construct an early warning model for infectious diseases. (3) There exists a structural imbalance in the allocation of emergency resources. The scarcity of disinfection supplies (4%) and the fact that 0.25% of schools lack emergency management plans create a compounded risk, underscoring the delay in constructing intelligent material monitoring systems. It is recommended to establish a three-tier material network comprising "municipal reserve centers - district-level transfer stations - school intelligent cabinets" and optimize the material allocation pathway through the application of a dynamic demand prediction model. (4) The development of first aid capabilities exhibits a tendency of being "hardware-focused while neglecting software." Despite the leading rate of first aid material provision, the training of first aid skills requires further enhancement. To address the lag in skills training, it is proposed to construct a three-pronged improvement mechanism integrating "qualification certification - course development - practical drills": incorporate first aid skills into supplementary criteria for teacher title evaluation, develop a tiered first aid course system; emphasize cultivating emergency awareness in primary schools and implement CPR/AED practical training in middle schools; collaborate with tertiary hospitals to establish first aid training bases within schools and conduct comprehensive drills covering school public health emergencies on a semester basis.

As densely populated settings, schools are high-risk environments for the rapid transmission and spread of public health emergencies. In 1996, WHO first published \u0026ldquo;Promoting Health Through Schools\u0026rdquo;. Although it did not explicitly use the term \"public health emergencies,\" this document laid a forward-looking foundation for school-based infectious disease control policies. It established comprehensive prevention measures\u0026mdash;including environmental health management, disease surveillance, and reporting systems\u0026mdash;creating the groundwork for schools to respond to public health crises. In June 2021, WHO and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) jointly released \u0026ldquo;Making Every School a Health Promoting School Global Standards and Indicators\u0026rdquo;, while the 2024 WHO publication \u0026ldquo;Making Every School a Health-Promoting School\u0026rdquo;: Implementation Guidance further underscores schools' critical function in managing public health emergencies. Schools serve not only as frontlines for preventing and controlling such emergencies but also as vital venues for cultivating students' health literacy and emergency response capabilities. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) explicitly call to \"ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages,\" schools are a key link in achieving this goal. Against the backdrop of the global COVID-19 pandemic, governments worldwide have strengthened school public health emergency management systems. For instance: France established a school epidemic response framework under the direct leadership of the Prime Minister, coordinated by the Ministry of the Interior and Ministry of Health. The UK government issued interim guidance, Coronavirus(COVID-19):safeguarding in schools, colleges and other providers \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e.

To effectively respond, China promulgated the \"Regulations on Public Health in Schools\" as early as April 1990, clearly listing strengthening the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases as one of the core tasks of school health work. Since then, the relevant policy system has been continuously improved at the national level: In 2017, the General Office of the Ministry of Education issued the \"Notice on Further Improving the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases and Food Safety in Schools\". In 2021, five departments including the Ministry of Education jointly issued documents such as the \"Opinions on Comprehensively Strengthening and Improving School Health and Health Education in the New Era\", all emphasizing the establishment of a long-term prevention and control mechanism and the improvement of a disease prevention system, in order to comprehensively enhance schools' emergency response and health management capabilities in dealing with public health emergencies. In recent years, China has achieved certain results in responding to public health emergencies in schools, especially demonstrating strong institutional advantages in the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus pneumonia. The National Health Commission, in collaboration with the education department, promptly formulated the \"Notice on Issuing the Technical Plan for COVID-19 Prevention and Control in Higher Education Institutions, Primary and Secondary Schools, and Kindergartens (Fifth Edition)\", and through the establishment of a \"two plans and nine systems\" prevention and control system, continuously improved the regular epidemic prevention and control mechanism on campus. This system takes the \"two plans\" (the infectious disease epidemic prevention and control plan and the emergency response plan) as the guiding documents and establishes nine core systems as supporting measures: The reporting system for infectious disease outbreaks, morning and afternoon health checks for teachers and students, tracking of students' absences, verification of certificates for resumption of classes, health management, vaccination, health education, disinfection of venues and environmental inspection systems have been established, forming a three-dimensional prevention and control network covering prevention and monitoring, emergency response and health management. However, in the practice of COVID-19 prevention and control, the emergency management system of schools still exposed several key problems that urgently need to be improved: The emergency plans for public health emergencies in schools lack pertinence and operability; Emergency material reserves have not yet established a scientific and dynamic management mechanism, and the types, quantities and update frequencies of material reserves cannot meet the actual demands. The implementation of the infectious disease prevention and control system is insufficient. When implementing prevention and control measures, there are problems such as being formalistic and inadequate supervision \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR7 CR8\" citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. The top-level design of school emergency management, prevention and control capabilities, and the allocation of health resources directly affect the effectiveness of its emergency management for public health emergencies \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. The existence of the above-mentioned problems indicates that the school's public health emergency management system still needs to be further optimized and improved from institutional design to practical implementation. Research on public health emergencies in schools mostly focuses on the epidemic characteristics such as the types and outbreak times of infectious diseases, while investigations on the emergency management system, the allocation of emergency resources, and the implementation of infectious disease prevention and control systems are relatively scarce \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR11\" citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR12\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e12\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the capital of China, Beijing assumes a leading role in formulating policies for managing public health emergencies in primary and secondary schools. Given the large number of such institutions, disparities in geographical location, school system types, and resource allocation across Beijing's schools result in varying levels of capacity to address public health emergencies, similar to other regions nationwide. By examining the current state of emergency system construction in Beijing's primary and secondary schools, a more comprehensive understanding can be achieved regarding the differences and commonalities in schools' emergency management capabilities, as well as their existing strengths and challenges. This study employs a multi-stage stratified random sampling method to investigate primary and secondary schools across different regions and school systems in Beijing, analyzing the current status and issues related to school-based public health emergency management, and offering recommendations for enhancing the level of emergency management in this domain.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"2.

The reliability and validity of the questionnaire were evaluated through a pre-survey, and subsequent optimizations and improvements were made based on the pre-survey results. The questionnaire utilized in this study was specifically designed for this research (for detailed content, please refer to the supplementary file). It is structured into three sections: The first part is the basic information of the school, including the area where the school is located, the academic system, the number of campuses and the boarding system situation; The second part focuses on the infectious disease prevention and control system, with an emphasis on assessing the implementation and difficulties of the \"Two Plans and Nine Systems\". The third part examines the emergency management mechanism for public health emergencies in schools, mainly covering core elements such as the formulation of emergency plans, the frequency of emergency drills, the configuration of first aid facilities and equipment (including whether they are equipped and the number of fixed and portable AEDs), the types of emergency material reserves, and the organizational structure of emergency management (including the person in charge of the emergency leadership group).

Regarding emergency medical supplies, 96.49% of schools have equipped automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and other emergency facilities, with a higher allocation rate for fixed AEDs (71.93%) compared to portable AEDs (42.86%).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComparisons of regional and school educational stage factors reveal variations in schools' emergency response capabilities. Chi-square test results demonstrate statistically significant differences in AED and other emergency equipment allocation across regions (χ\u0026sup2; = 6.449, \u003cem\u003eP\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.04). The allocation rate is highest in near suburban areas (99.32%), followed by far suburban areas (96.88%) and urban areas (94.18%). In terms of fixed and portable AED allocation, there are statistically significant differences among school systems for both fixed AEDs (χ\u0026sup2; = 10.982, \u003cem\u003eP\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.027) and portable AEDs (χ\u0026sup2; = 11.771, \u003cem\u003eP\u003c/em\u003e\u0026thinsp;=\u0026thinsp;0.019). Specifically, primary schools exhibit a higher allocation rate for fixed AEDs (77.30%) compared to middle schools (69.78%) and all-round schools (62.67%), whereas all-round schools show a higher allocation rate for portable AEDs (52.00%) compared to middle schools (46.76%) and primary schools (36.22%).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"gridtable\"\u003e\u003ctable float=\"Yes\"

Discussion","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4.1 The overall implementation of the \"Two Plans and Nine Systems\" has been satisfactory; however, the execution of certain systems warrants further attention and improvement.\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn April 2020, the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China issued the \"Notice on Further Strengthening the Prevention and Control of Key Infectious Diseases in Autumn and Winter\", requiring local authorities to guide schools in establishing an infectious disease prevention and control system of \"two plans and nine systems\". At present, 99.75% of primary and secondary schools in Beijing have largely implemented the \"two plans and nine systems\" framework. However, challenges remain more pronounced in the implementation of specific systems, such as the environmental hygiene inspection and notification system (16.29%), the student health management system, and the vaccination system (each accounting for 15.04%). Firstly, there is the reporting system for hygiene inspections. Environmental hygiene conditions in primary and secondary schools across China exhibit variations based on region and school educational stage. The qualification rates for teaching environmental hygiene are highest in urban areas and primary schools, whereas environmental hygiene management in rural schools, particularly concerning drinking water and toilet hygiene, requires further strengthening \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e14\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR15\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e15\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. This urban-rural disparity (between urban areas and far suburbs) is particularly pronounced in the suburban regions of Beijing. For instance, in Miyun District, the issue of unregulated domestic sewage discharge is significant. Approximately one-quarter of the residents dispose of sewage in non-compliant manners. Furthermore, numerous garbage disposal sites are located in environmentally sensitive areas, such as farmland and river courses, creating persistent pollution sources \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e16\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR17\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e17\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. Such environmental issues are transmitted to campuses through various pathways: sewage seepage compromises the safety of groundwater, potentially impacting the quality of drinking water in school; uncontrolled garbage accumulation exacerbates the risk of disease vector transmission, posing significant hazards for the spread of infectious diseases. These challenges are further exacerbated by the structural constraints commonly encountered by rural schools, including inadequate educational resources, limited financial support, and insufficient decision-making autonomy \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR18\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e18\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR19\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e19\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. In this context, the effectiveness of implementing the school hygiene inspection and notification system may be constrained by the following factors: First, governance measures aimed at upgrading infrastructure such as water supply systems, construction of sanitary toilets, and garbage and sewage treatment require sustained financial investment. However, rural and suburban schools typically face rigid constraints due to insufficient financial resources. Second, while the introduction of socialized services (e.g., outsourcing daily campus cleaning and toilet maintenance to professional cleaning companies or entrusting the operation and maintenance of water purification equipment to specialized institutions) can alleviate management pressure and enhance the efficiency of school hygiene management, the quality of service delivery depends heavily on the level of financial support available. Third, the continuous input of external environmental risks combined with systemic shortages in school hygiene management resources creates a cumulative effect, which results in the difficulty of effectively implementing preventive and control measures within the school hygiene inspection and notification system, even when it is established, due to inadequate foundational support. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offers theoretical guidance and practical tools to support schools in developing and implementing environmental health plans. However, given the non-mandatory nature of these measures, the level of enforcement varies significantly across states. Many schools face challenges in effectively managing their environmental hygiene due to insufficient infrastructure, a shortage of dedicated personnel, limited funding, and inadequate training resources \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR20\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e20\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. In Brazil, the operational nature of a school (whether it is public or private) and its geographical location (specifically, whether it is situated in a state capital) also influence the sanitary conditions of the school environment \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR21\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e21\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. Owing to economic limitations and the inadequate enforcement of relevant policies, schools typically lack designated personnel responsible for environmental hygiene inspections and notifications. This, in turn, exacerbates the challenges associated with implementing the hygiene inspection and notification system. The second is the student health management system. Currently, the process of student health management in Chinese primary and secondary schools remains relatively coarse, with inadequate emphasis on health management. The phenomenon of \"testing without managing\" regarding students' health information is prevalent, and there is a significant shortage of professional health management personnel. These factors substantially impede the effective implementation of student health management systems in schools \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR23\" citationid=\"CR22\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e22\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR24\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e24\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. Health management occupies a significant position within the framework of school health in Japan. All primary and secondary schools in Japan are staffed with dedicated nursing teachers who are responsible for overseeing school health and safety management. These professionals provide personalized health guidance to students, with an emphasis on fostering students' ability and attitude toward identifying and addressing health and safety issues\u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR25\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e25\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. The objective of school health management is to systematically collect students' health information, predict the trajectory of their health conditions, provide timely intervention and guidance, and ultimately foster students' proactive adoption of a health-conscious mindset. The third aspect is the vaccination system. Vaccination serves as an effective measure to prevent infectious diseases, mitigate the severity of illness, and decrease the risk of transmission \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR26\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e26\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. The school collaborates with the community health service center to jointly facilitate vaccination efforts. In this partnership, the school is responsible for organizing and coordinating vaccination activities while not imposing mandatory requirements regarding students' vaccination status. For students who are willing to receive vaccination but are unable to do so within the prescribed timeframe due to special circumstances, the school can offer personalized appointment services. It can also assist students and their parents in liaising with the community health service center, flexibly adjust the vaccination schedule, and provide options such as weekend vaccinations or extended vaccination cycles. Currently, countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States have established school-based vaccination programs, offering free vaccination services within schools to enhance the vaccination coverage among school-aged children \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR27\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e27\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. Following the implementation of the school vaccination program, the vaccination rate among students has shown an increase. However, concerns raised by parents regarding the safety of vaccines and the adequacy of the vaccination environment within schools have impacted the further advancement of the school vaccination program \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR28\" citationid=\"CR27\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e27\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR29\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e29\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. Consequently, schools should fully utilize the home-school cooperation mechanism to deliver targeted health education to parents. This can be accomplished through organizing lectures, distributing health handbooks, and disseminating scientific information via social media platforms. These efforts aim to educate parents about vaccines, enhance their confidence in the safety and efficacy of vaccines, transform their behavioral parent lectures, distributing health handbooks, and disseminating scientific information via social media platforms. These efforts aim to enhance parents' understanding of vaccines, strengthen their confidence in vaccine safety and efficacy, modify their attitudes, facilitate the effective implementation of the vaccination system in schools, and ultimately increase the vaccination rate among primary and secondary school students \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR31\" citationid=\"CR30\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e30\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR32\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e32\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4.2 The coverage rate of emergency drills for public health incidents in schools is relatively high, and the configuration of relevant materials is gradually being optimized.\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2014, the Ministry of Education issued the \"Guidelines for Emergency Evacuation Drills in Primary and Secondary Schools and Kindergartens,\" explicitly requiring all levels of schools to develop their own emergency drill plans and conduct at least one emergency evacuation drill per month. In China, 98.43% of primary and secondary schools have conducted emergency drills for public health incidents. By contrast, only 64% of schools in the United States have established designated emergency action plans, which underscores the institutional advantages of China's top-level design in emergency management \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR33\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e33\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. Among these regions, Beijing performs exceptionally well, with 99.25% of schools having formulated emergency response plans. Nevertheless, there remains room for improvement in the dynamic management of these plans, as the updates to emergency plans need to align more closely with the requirements of higher-level documents, particularly to address the evolving nature of new public health risks. Currently, 83.71% of primary and secondary schools in Beijing have established a routine emergency drill mechanism, with no significant variation observed across regions or school educational stage. Nevertheless, 0.25% of schools have never organized any emergency drills, revealing potential blind spots in emergency management. Further guidance and oversight are therefore required. In the process of developing emergency drill plans and conducting routine drills, schools not only evaluate the effectiveness of their emergency response plans but also identify deficiencies in the provision of emergency supplies. In Beijing's primary and secondary schools, a diverse range of emergency supplies is available; however, the availability rate of air disinfection products and disinfection products for vomit and excrement (approximately 96%) is slightly lower compared to other types of emergency supplies. This, to some extent, diminishes the material support for school environmental hygiene inspections and constrains the school's capacity to address and report environmental inspection issues. According to the \"Standards for School Health (Medical) Rooms\" issued by the National Health Commission in 2024, school health (medical) rooms must be equipped not only with basic first aid equipment such as first aid kits and tourniquets but also, in accordance with the school's emergency response plans, maintain an adequate stock of disinfection products, masks, gloves, non-contact thermometers, hand sanitizers, and other medical supplies. Additionally, expired or damaged hygiene supplies must be updated promptly through regular inspections.To ensure the efficacy of materials and the standardization of management, schools must establish a comprehensive material management system. First, a detailed material inventory should be developed, which at a minimum includes critical information such as the name, specification, quantity, and expiration date of the materials. Second, to further enhance material management, schools can collaborate with procurement platforms to establish a dual-purpose material reserve mechanism that accommodates both routine and emergency scenarios. This mechanism will clarify and refine processes related to material renewal, procurement, storage, and utilization. Through these management measures, it is ensured that emergency and other health-related materials in schools are updated promptly, thereby preventing the use of expired or damaged items and safeguarding the health and safety of faculty and students. While standardizing the storage of emergency materials, the provision of first-aid facilities must also be prioritized. In 2022, the China Education Equipment Industry Association released the \"Standard for the Provision of Campus First Aid Facilities and Equipment (Trial)\" which specifies that schools at the compulsory education stage must be equipped with one automated external defibrillator (AED) unit. Currently, 96.49% of primary and secondary schools in Beijing have been equipped with automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and other first-aid facilities and equipment. This significant achievement can be largely attributed to the \"Notice on Properly Implementing the Configuration of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in Schools\" previously issued by Beijing authorities. The notice explicitly stipulates that the procurement costs for AEDs in primary and secondary schools shall be coordinated and resolved by the education commissions of each district, thereby providing a robust financial guarantee for the configuration process. With this policy support, the implementation in Beijing's near suburbs stands out notably, with the equipment rate of first-aid facilities and equipment in schools reaching 99.32%. This has effectively facilitated the widespread adoption of first-aid facilities and equipment in schools and established effective emergency preparedness to mitigate potential school emergencies in suburban areas. In terms of the AED deployment strategy, primary school students generally experience relatively lower academic pressure, engage in more frequent physical education classes and recess activities, and exhibit higher levels of physical activity intensity. Consequently, when deploying AEDs, it is essential to prioritize addressing various potential emergencies. Fixed AEDs, due to their advantages such as conspicuous installation locations, robust stability, and reduced likelihood of being moved or damaged, have been more extensively adopted in primary schools, achieving a configuration rate of 77.30%, which is the highest among all educational systems. Integrated schools, given their broad range of educational stages and large student populations, demonstrate a greater need for portable AEDs, leading to a higher configuration rate of portable AEDs (52.00%). Considering that the current AED configuration in schools has achieved certain outcomes, the next step should focus on enhancing first aid training. In the United States, 76% of teachers, 68% of administrative staff, and 28% of students have undergone CPR training \u003csup\u003e[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR34\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e34\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/sup\u003e. In 2021, the Education Office issued the \"Notice on Further Promoting School Emergency Rescue Work,\" emphasizing the implementation of emergency rescue training and the dissemination of emergency rescue knowledge and skills as critical components of school health education and youth quality education. The popularization of emergency rescue knowledge and the practical application skills on campus can be promoted by engaging professional first-aid personnel to deliver training on the use of AEDs and other equipment to teachers and senior students, as well as by integrating first-aid courses into the student health education curriculum.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"5. Conclusion","content":"\u003cp\u003eThe prevention and control system for public health emergencies in primary and secondary schools in Beijing demonstrates a complex characteristic encompassing \"a complete institutional framework, a gradient of implementation efficiency, and an imbalance in guarantee levels.\" The city has constructed a three-dimensional prevention and control framework, with the \"two plans and nine systems\" institutional network (achieving a coverage rate of 99.75%) serving as the top-level design, the regular emergency drill mechanism (with a popularization rate of 83.71%) functioning as the implementation pathway, and the first-aid facility configuration system (with an AED coverage rate of 96.49%) providing hardware support. Notably, the near suburbs have attained an ultra-high configuration rate of 99.32% for first-aid facilities, underscoring the systematic integration capability of public health governance in the capital.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, the phenomenon of gradient attenuation in prevention and control effectiveness merits attention, primarily manifesting in the following aspects:\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e(1) The enforcement of environmental hygiene management is inadequate.\u003c/b\u003e The implementation rate of the environmental hygiene inspection and notification system remains relatively low (only 16.29%), reflecting the combined impact of delayed risk management in off-campus environmental governance and insufficient allocation of on-campus hygiene management resources. To address these challenges, a comprehensive governance framework integrating \"financial guarantee - diversified fundraising - school and local collaboration\" should be established: Firstly, enhance government special allocations with a focus on prioritizing the renovation of water supply and toilet facilities in rural schools; secondly, establish a diversified funding mechanism combining \"government subsidies, social donations, and user fees,\" encouraging enterprises and public welfare organizations to participate in school environmental hygiene services, thereby alleviating financial burdens and ensuring sustainable funding for socialized services; finally, collaborate with environmental protection departments to address sewage and garbage issues surrounding schools, mitigating the adverse effects of off-campus pollution on campus environments. Through multi-stakeholder cooperation, the issues of insufficient funding and resource scarcity can be progressively resolved.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e(2) There is a notable deficiency in the provision of refined guidance within health monitoring systems.\u003c/b\u003e Presently, health monitoring predominantly emphasizes information collection, significantly lagging behind Japan's sophisticated management approach, which incorporates professional nursing teachers to provide trend-based health guidance and proactive intervention strategies. To address the issue of insufficiently detailed health monitoring, it is recommended to integrate Japan's advanced health management model with cutting-edge digital technologies, establish a district-level school health big data center, and develop an electronic health record system equipped with trend warning functionalities. Each school should appoint a clinically qualified health manager. By leveraging big data technology, critical data such as student absenteeism rates and abnormal physical examination values can be systematically collected and analyzed to construct an early warning model for infectious diseases.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e(3) There exists a structural imbalance in the allocation of emergency resources.\u003c/b\u003e The scarcity of disinfection supplies (4%) and the fact that 0.25% of schools lack emergency management plans create a compounded risk, underscoring the delay in constructing intelligent material monitoring systems. It is recommended to establish a three-tier material network comprising \"municipal reserve centers - district-level transfer stations - school intelligent cabinets\" and optimize the material allocation pathway through the application of a dynamic demand prediction model.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e(4) The development of first aid capabilities exhibits a tendency of being \"hardware-focused while neglecting software.\"\u003c/b\u003e Despite the leading rate of first aid material provision, the training of first aid skills requires further enhancement. To address the lag in skills training, it is proposed to construct a three-pronged improvement mechanism integrating \"qualification certification - course development - practical drills\": incorporate first aid skills into supplementary criteria for teacher title evaluation, develop a tiered first aid course system; emphasize cultivating emergency awareness in primary schools and implement CPR/AED practical training in middle schools; collaborate with tertiary hospitals to establish first aid training bases within schools and conduct comprehensive drills covering school public health emergencies on a semester basis.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Declarations","content":"\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Ethical Approval and Consent to participate:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Capital Medical University (Approval Number: Z2023SY093).

The emergency plan formulation rate reached 99.25%, while 67.92% of schools conducted emergency drills once per semester. Regarding resource allocation, basic protective supplies and disinfection materials were well-equipped, though Chi-square tests (χ\u0026sup2;) revealed structural disparities in first-aid equipment: suburban areas demonstrated the highest Automated External Defibrillator(AED) configuration rate (99.32%), fixed AEDs showed optimal coverage in primary schools (77.30%), and portable AED availability led in integrated schools (52.00%).\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConclusion\u003c/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeijing's primary and secondary schools have established a public health emergency prevention and control system featuring the \"Two Plans and Nine Systems\" framework as its top-level design, routine emergency drills as its implementation pathway, and first-aid facility reserves as its foundation. However, three key shortcomings persist: weak implementation of environmental health inspections, insufficiently refined health monitoring, and uneven distribution of emergency medical resources (particularly AEDs). Recommendations include establishing diversified funding mechanisms, optimizing resource allocation pathways, and strengthening inter-departmental collaboration to systematically enhance school emergency management efficacy.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Analysis of the Current Status of Routine Emergency Management of Public Health Emergencies in Primary and Secondary Schools: A Sampling Study Based on 399 Schools in Beijing, China","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-07-15 13:33:50","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-6819081/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"editorInvitedReview","content":"","date":"2025-07-21T16:05:30+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"203574664307762823285245962213792571699","date":"2025-07-11T12:13:21+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2025-07-09T15:18:10+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2025-06-16T13:28:47+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvited","content":"","date":"2025-06-10T08:54:28+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"checksComplete","content":"","date":"2025-06-10T03:33:06+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"BMC Public Health","date":"2025-06-10T03:28:55+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"bmc-public-health","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":false,"externalIdentity":"pubh","sideBox":"Learn more about [BMC Public Health](http://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/)","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"https://www.editorialmanager.com/pubh/default.aspx","title":"BMC Public Health","twitterHandle":"@BMC_series","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"em","reportingPortfolio":"BMC Series","inReviewEnabled":true,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"981c91da-5ca4-44a7-83cd-ab0bfc9a6d93","owner":[],"postedDate":"July 15th, 2025","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"under-review","subjectAreas":[],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2025-07-15T13:33:50+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2025-07-15 13:33:50","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-6819081","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-6819081","identity":"rs-6819081","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"8U1c8b4HqxoKbykW_rLl7","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
