‘Online Learning and Practical Drill Combined’- Xizang Schools Conduct Comprehensive Fire Safety Exercises

Lhasa. Schools across the Xizang Autonomous Region have recently been extensively conducting fire safety exercises by combining ‘online learning with hands-on practical drills.’

Under this programme jointly run by the Xizang Fire Control and Rescue Headquarters and the Regional Education Department, schools of all levels and categories watched the unified online broadcast of the 2026 Spring National Primary and Secondary School Fire Safety Public Course.

Simultaneously, activities such as emergency fire control drills within school premises and inspections for potential safety hazards were also organised. Officials stated that this combination of ‘online learning and practical drill’ has comprehensively strengthened the fire safety defences of schools.

During the drills, teachers and students were learning fire extinguishing techniques under the guidance of firefighters. The programme aims to raise fire safety awareness among students and teachers, as well as to develop their capacity for self-protection during emergency situations.
