Citizens have applauded the latest nationwide educational campaign to help primary and secondary school students ward off the influence of pornography on the Internet or mobile WAP sites, with many people suggesting that the authorities release more specific regulations on enforcement.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) has required local education authorities to conduct regular examinations on primary and secondary school websites, as well as install filter software on school computers, according to a MOE notice that was quoted by Xinhua News Agency during the weekend.

"The move is quite necessary," said Meng Qian, an English teacher from Beijing No 17 Middle School.
