Problem

As Naikai Middle School is located in the central area of Shapingba, a busy area, it faces significant noise problems. Although the teaching buildings are far from the school gates, outsiders have been known to damage sports facility and threaten the safety of students. There is heavy traffic near the main entrance. Moreover, when parents drive their children to (away from) school on Monday (weekend), traffic is frequently interrupted.
