Cheating is pitiful? Cheating is shameful! " At the press conference held by the Ministry of Education on the eve of the college entrance examination, Dai Jiaqian, director of the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education, had a very clear view. He believed that condoning and appeasing individual cheaters was irresponsible and unfair to the majority of people. Cheating incidents occur with exams. , every year the college entrance examination country will introduce policies to rectify the college entrance examination disciplines to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the examination.
As a People’s Commentary said: “Students’ tackling of key problems and magic fighting become more and more exciting every year! "
Cheating in the college entrance examination will be recorded in the integrity file
Since 2004, the Ministry of Education has carried out the "Honesty and Trustworthiness, Integrity in the College Entrance Examination" themed education campaign among fresh high school graduates for four consecutive years. This year, the Ministry of Education will adopt comprehensive measures that combine education, management, and punishment to further create an honest college entrance examination. On the basis of continuing to organize all candidates to sign the "Integrity College Entrance Examination Commitment", the Ministry of Education will begin to try to implement "integrity files" for candidates nationwide. "Management.
For candidates who commit serious violations during the exam, such as using mobile phones, walkie-talkies, headsets and other wireless communication tools to cheat internally and externally, the relevant departments will strictly follow the "National Education Examination Violations Handling Measures" 》Identify and deal with violations, and the relevant results will be recorded in the National Education Examination Integrity File Database and will also be reflected in the candidates’ electronic files for inquiry by colleges and universities, admissions units and even future employers.
The cheating file will become a lifelong stain
The reporter learned that in the past, the results of cheating in exams may only be known to a small group, and they will only be "valid for that year"; but now once they enter the national education examination integrity file database , the fact of this cheating behavior will be retained.
“Even if the candidate takes the exam again next year, this bad record cannot be erased. It will not only become one of the important bases for colleges and universities to decide whether to admit candidates, but it can even be found by employers when they look for jobs after graduation. "Dai Jiagan, director of the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education, said in an interview with reporters, "This raises the integrity education for candidates from the moral level to the institutional level, and its deterrent effect can be imagined. ”
There is a slight controversy about the intensity of punishment
According to the new regulations introduced this year, once college entrance examination candidates cheat, they may pay a price that affects their lives. So, what is the intensity of such punishment? , what is the attitude of all walks of life?
Before and after the college entrance examination, Sina conducted a survey on the incident of "the cheating record in the college entrance examination will be tracked for life", and a total of 5,580 people participated in the survey. It shows that 36.59% of people think that "it is very good to build integrity in the college entrance examination and strictly prevent cheating"; 32.03% of people think that "it is too strict. Cheating should not be a lifelong stigma and they should have the opportunity to correct themselves."

"In a competitive and high-stakes national education examination. In this regard, connivance and appeasement of individual cheating in exams is harming the interests of others and ultimately the interests of the country. ”
Director Dai Jiaqian believes that exam cheaters should not be treated as a vulnerable group. “If they are not dealt with severely, it will be unfair to society and most people.”
Science and Technology - The Battle of Magic
Anti-cheating in the College Entrance Examination is a high-tech "battle". The Ministry of Education strictly cracks down on cheating using communication tools
Since the beginning of the exam, cheating and anti-cheating, It is an endless "magic battle". In order to prevent cheating in the college entrance examination and ensure the safety of the examination, in recent years, the college entrance examination examination rooms in various places have strengthened electronic monitoring and have successively equipped some necessary mobile phone detectors and monitoring equipment. Some provinces ( Municipalities) have also successively built remote inspection systems. It can be said that cheating and anti-cheating in college entrance examinations have become a high-tech "battle". According to incomplete statistics, in 2007 alone, finance at all levels invested nearly 100 million yuan in anti-cheating.
Cheating methods are constantly "upgrading"
From cheat sheets and gunmen (referring to substitute test takers) to mobile phones and electronic dictionaries, and now to military walkie-talkies, pinhole cameras, wireless headsets... …Cheating tools are constantly being upgraded.
Staff from the Shenyang City Industrial and Commercial Department told reporters: “The current cheating tools are really amazing. "He showed reporters a batch of newly seized cheating tools: watches that can transmit answers and look the same as ordinary electronic watches; invisible pens that are popular online can reveal writing by using the taillight of the pen; some multi-channel walkie-talkies, It is not affected by mobile phone jammers.
The reporter learned from the interview that the use of micro cameras and wireless headphones is a relatively common high-tech cheating method. After the exam begins, cheaters first wear it on their chests. A button camera or a camera installed on glasses scans the test paper. Some professional "gunners" receive the image in a nearby residential building, and then answer the questions separately. About 20 minutes or half an hour later, the answers are sent to the students through walkie-talkies or mobile phone text messages. Most of this high-tech cheating has the characteristics of "gang". They often publish their contact information through online information and illegal mobile phone text messages.
The government "pays" for anti-cheating.
In the face of cheating tools with increasingly high technological content, government departments are willing to spend huge sums of money to "compete" with them.
Take Liaoning Province as an example. In 2005, some cities began to use electronic surveillance video systems (electronic eyes); in 2006, all examination rooms in the province were equipped with electronic eyes, and the college entrance examination paper confidentiality room realized network monitoring and linkage throughout the province. Call the police; this year, all examination rooms will be equipped with mobile phone jammers and metal detectors. The examination process in each examination room will be recorded on a CD and reported to the Provincial Recruitment and Examination Office for record. Among them, the performance of handheld metal detectors is comparable to that of airport case equipment.
Crack down on high-tech cheating
It is understood that this year, the Ministry of Education has accelerated the construction of a network platform for national education examination examination room supervision and inspection, connecting and covering more provinces and cities, achieving large-scale online real-time inspection. Before the college entrance examination, all examination staff are required to undergo pre-job training, focusing on training on the ability to prevent, identify and deal with cheating using communication tools, and improve the level of anti-cheating. They are not allowed to work without passing the training and assessment.
Lin Huiqing, Director of the Student Affairs Department of the Ministry of Education, emphasized that relevant departments are constantly strengthening penalties and crackdowns on examination violations.
It is understood that the Ministry of Public Security issued a notice to the public security front before this year’s college entrance examination, requiring all localities to deploy additional police forces around the test sites and network monitoring during the college entrance examination to maintain the order and environment of the examination and strictly prevent the spread of harmful information and damage. The college entrance examination will proceed as normal. In addition, the Public Security Bureau and other departments are currently negotiating to study judicial interpretations to severely crack down on high-tech cheating in exams, establish further clear legal basis, and increase special crackdowns on exam violations.
Legal Chapter - Cat and Mouse Game
The first examination regulations on cheating punishment will be tried in Chongqing. Such cheating in national examinations has almost become a "street rat", and everyone calls for beatings. However, due to the "loopholes" in the law, the relationship between cheating and anti-cheating seems to have become a "cat and mouse" game. Every year, there are calls for beatings, but cheating occurs every year. Such an embarrassment can only be expected for the introduction of relevant laws.
The "Legal Loop" for Cheating in the College Entrance Examination
An official from the Ministry of Education who did not want to be named mentioned such a thing in an interview with reporters:
January 20 this year is the first day of the National Graduate Entrance Examination. In the afternoon of the same day, based on the reports received from the masses in advance, the Radio Monitoring Station of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province dispatched a mobile radio monitoring vehicle to determine the location, and together with the Xi'an City Police destroyed the radio transmitting station set up by a cheating gang near Northwest University of Political Science and Law. 8 The cheaters were caught on the spot.
It was later verified that the cheating gang’s cheating methods and methods were: This was a major cheating incident closely related to the national examination, and it was very serious in nature. However, when the case was transferred to the Yanta Public Security Bureau of Xi'an City, the bureau refused to accept the case on the grounds that "there are no clear provisions in the Public Security Punishment Law and Criminal Law", and the eight cheaters were released. Officials from the Ministry of Education believe that this is a legal gap and an embarrassment to the law.
In fact, this kind of embarrassment is not uncommon in college entrance examination cheating incidents. The reporter learned from the Higher Education Enrollment Department of Liaoning Province that in recent years, when Liaoning investigated and dealt with some cheating cases in the college entrance examination, because there was no relevant legal basis, the candidates' scores in the subject could only be invalidated; for gang crimes, there was no relevant sentencing basis, because the punishment It is relatively mild, which leads a small number of parents and candidates to "have the courage" to take risks. Their inner subtext is very simple: "If you catch it, you will have to do it all over again next year!"
Experts call for the introduction of relevant laws
To this end, some experts suggest that violations of integrity exams, penalties and their implementation, as well as corresponding legal procedures, must be clearly stipulated in laws, regulations and systems, so that the punishment for cheaters and those involved in cheating can be legally enforceable. according to. At the same time, cheating must be dealt with quickly, strictly, and accurately, thereby forming a deterrent to those who attempt to cheat.
On May 28, Dai Jiagan, director of the Examination Center of the Ministry of Education, revealed in an interview with People’s Daily Online that the State Council will legislate to prevent cheating in the college entrance examination. He believes that a relatively comprehensive law should be established for the college entrance examination, with detailed legal regulations on the power of examination propositions, allocation of admission quotas, independent enrollment methods, bonus points policy, etc., in order to reduce the occurrence of confusion and unfairness, and try to avoid various forms of "Cheating" is obviously extremely necessary, and it is also necessary to maintain people's confidence in the college entrance examination and confidence in social fairness.
The first examination regulations will be tried out in Chongqing
In the recently issued "National Education Development "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" Outline", it is clearly proposed to start the drafting of the examination law in due course Work. The Ministry of Education recently revealed that the National Education Examination Law is currently in the preliminary research and academic discussion stage.
