Schools should first make good choices, strictly examine the contents, links, application functions and information security of APP, and report them to the higher education authorities for the same examination. Meaning. It is necessary to ensure that the content of learning APP in campus conforms to the Party’s educational policy and the requirements of cultivating people with moral integrity in ideological, scientific and appropriate aspects, and reflects the orientation of quality education. The principle of “effectively serving education and teaching, not increasing the burden of teachers’work and students’ schoolwork” should be adopted, APP should be selected reasonably, quantity should be strictly controlled, and normal education and teaching should be prevented from being affected. Apps for study on campus are not allowed to charge students or pay related fees to students. Students’information and data security should be guaranteed to prevent leaking students’ privacy.

In the future, all learning apps that have not been examined on the record are prohibited to be used on campus, and students are not allowed to organize or request or recommend learning apps that have not been examined on the record after class. We should regularly check and keep abreast of the changes and updates of APP content, and dispose of harmful information in time when it is found. Schools and teachers are not allowed to use APP to publish information about students’grades and rankings. Educational administrations, schools and teachers who violate regulations and neglect management and have adverse effects should be held seriously accountable.
