Can teacher recruitment test papers also say "any similarity is purely coincidental"?

We cannot let "pure coincidence" become an excuse for having the same papers, let alone "re-examination" to cover up the absence of the truth.

Recently, according to Beijing time reports, there was a problem in the teacher recruitment examination in Wuhan Dongxihu District that the test questions were the same as those in the predicted paper. On June 26, the official website of the Wuhan Dongxihu District People’s Government released the test results The re-examination notice stated that after research, it was decided that this exam was invalid, and the 2018 employment-based teacher recruitment exam would be reorganized on July 7.

In the announcement of the retake of the exam, the person in charge of the Dongxihu District Education Bureau said that after receiving the information reported by the candidates, a special work class was set up as soon as possible to conduct a detailed investigation of the matter. After verification, it was confirmed that 40 questions in the comprehensive ability test paper of this written examination were similar to the sprint pre-test paper of a training institution, involving a score of 60 points, which has affected the fairness of the test results. The person in charge said that the reorganization of the examination is to ensure the seriousness, impartiality and fairness of the teacher recruitment work.

There were up to 60 points of identical test questions in the 100-point test paper. Although the Dongxihu District Education Bureau quickly made an announcement for a re-examination, the announcement perfectly avoided "Which link went wrong that led to the similarity" "Whether there was any leakage of information" and "whether any public servant should be responsible for this" are issues of public concern. No wonder some netizens questioned, "There is no guilt at all for making mistakes. Instead, he becomes a referee with integrity."

Ten years to educate trees, hundreds of years to educate people, the importance of primary and secondary education to social development Nature is self-evident, and as the ferryman of education, we should naturally be cautious in assessing the quality of teachers. If someone really becomes a teacher through the "shortcut" of leaking questions in training classes, does he really have the basic qualities to teach and educate people, and how can the quality of education be guaranteed?

The emergence of similar papers not only harms the vital interests of those candidates who prepare carefully and spend a lot of time, but also damages the authority of the education department as a national administrative agency. Although the local education bureau decided to retake the exam, it could not undo the damage caused by the same test papers to the credibility of the exam, nor could it eliminate the inner anger and doubts of the candidates.

At the same time, why a certain training institution with great power has such a high "prediction rate"? Can it really be explained by "coincidence"? Do they have any interest transfer relationship with the test organization personnel? At present, the Dongxihu District Education Bureau, which "established a special work class as soon as possible", has no explanation.

If relevant personnel from the local education department and the training institution are proven to have an interest relationship, both the relevant personnel and the training institution will be held legally responsible. Article 80 of the "Education Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that any organization or individual who leaks or disseminates test questions or answers before the end of the national education examination and has illegal gains shall be confiscated by the public security organs. income, and shall be fined not less than one time but not more than five times the illegal income; if the circumstances are serious, he shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than fifteen days; if a crime is constituted, he shall be investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the law; if he is a staff member of a state agency, he shall also be punished in accordance with the law.

The significance of the examination is not only to select talents, but also to its positive guiding role in social development through fairness, impartiality and professionalism. Therefore, in this "same paper incident", "pure coincidence" cannot be used as an excuse for the same paper, let alone "re-examination" to cover up the absence of the truth. As the organizer of the exam, the Dongxihu District Education Bureau obviously has a responsibility A clear investigation will provide an explanation to the public and comfort to the candidates.
