Public security officials will conduct a national school bus safety campaign in September and October.

Buses that transport high school, elementary school and nursery school students will be included, according to the Ministry of Public Security.

Areas of concern include unmarked or overloaded buses and those that are driven by unlicensed or drunk drivers.

The ministry will also take steps to improve traffic flows during peak periods when students are going to or leaving school.
