Senior judicial official becomes Beijing high school vice-principal

The Procurator-General of China's Supreme People's Procuratorate, Ying Yong, has been appointed vice-principal for legal affairs at Beijing No 4 High School, with the aim of promoting legal education.

"I will promote the integration of rule-of-law principles on campus, strengthen legal education for young people and advance the construction of a safe school environment," he said upon accepting the appointment last week in Beijing.

Ying emphasized the crucial role adolescents play in the country's future and the significance of legal and moral education for young people.
