Reasons for cheating in college entrance examination

Every system cannot be perfect, and the college entrance examination system is no exception. There are some institutional defects in the current college entrance examination in China, especially the rigid evaluation mechanism. The emergence of "exam-oriented education" is the revival and strengthening of traditional education in the contemporary era. Under the oppression of all the powerful public opinions based on the standards of further education and academic qualifications, the social evaluation of education is mainly "further education", the family's hope for their children is "further education", and the children's fantasy for the future is "further education". The rope of "further education" affects the hearts of teachers, parents and students. Under the command of college entrance examination, the ontological function of education has been alienated, and the function of promoting people's all-round development through education has been weakened. On the contrary, exam-oriented education prevails, which just ignores the ontological function of education and is a utilitarian education. The main purpose of education is to let students learn to take exams, and exams are for further study and become the primary way to seek a career in the future, or the basic mode for individuals to receive education. As a result of this educational model, examinations and further education are regarded as the yardsticks to measure and standardize all educational activities, and quality education has become an empty talk. This rigid and single summative evaluation mechanism ignores the process, diversity and rationality of talent training and the development of students' comprehensive quality. College entrance examination immigration is caused by the arrangement of college entrance examination enrollment system, and it is a variant of college entrance examination fraud caused by regional differences in enrollment. College entrance examination immigrants began in the mid-1980s. With the intensification of competition for employment and further education, and the gradual relaxation of social control, the immigration problem of college entrance examination has developed rapidly and intensified.

There are four characteristics of college entrance examination immigrants: first, the number of immigrants has increased greatly. Immigrants mainly come from Shandong, Henan and other populous provinces, and there is a large-scale trend in recent years. Second, the structure of immigrant candidates has changed. Originally, it was mainly students with average grades, but now a considerable number of top students have joined the ranks of immigrants in order to be admitted to key or famous universities. Third, the flow of immigrants is diversified. At first, college entrance examination immigrants mainly flowed to western provinces with low economic and educational development level and low college entrance examination scores, and there were two new destinations. One is to go to Anhui, Hainan and other eastern provinces with moderate economic and educational development and low college entrance examination scores; Another is to go to Beijing, Shanghai and other places with high level of economic and cultural development, but the scores of college entrance examination are seriously low. There are a lot of immigrants in both directions. Fourth, there is an accelerated development trend of college entrance examination immigrants. The migration of college entrance examination is an unfair competition, a speculative behavior, or a purely profit-making behavior, and a speculative behavior through unfair or even illegal means. It reflects the unfairness of the enrollment system, but it has caused new unfairness. It has caused new educational and social problems.

China has a long tradition of examination. Since the establishment of the imperial examination system in Sui Dynasty, examinations have occupied a very important position in the social life of China people. The traditional idea of becoming famous in one fell swoop after being unknown for ten years has been deeply rooted. This puts a lot of pressure on candidates. Specifically, candidates face triple pressure from family, society and classmates. Family pressure bears the brunt. Children from rural families, parents have no chance to go to college, so they have pinned their hopes on their children for generations, doing everything possible to make their children stand out, honor their ancestors and change their current economic and social status. Families in cities, whether cadres or intellectuals, have the mentality of keeping up with the joneses. Being admitted to college is a kind of capital that children rely on to show off in front of others, for fear that their children will lose face. Many families began to invite tutors when their children were very young, and put them in remedial classes, which virtually caused great mental stress to their children. Secondly, there is pressure from society. Starting from 1999, the reform of college entrance examination began to accelerate, and colleges and universities began to expand their enrollment on a large scale. The college entrance examination, which used to be crowded with thousands of troops, became relatively easy. But what followed was that college students lost the distribution guarantee in the planned economy era, and the problem of difficult employment began to stand out. It is difficult for college students to find jobs, let alone high school students. In order to have an ideal job in the future, you must be admitted to a university, and it is a good university. The third is the pressure from peers. Students in senior high school are basically mature in physical and mental development and have certain independence, but they also have strong characteristics at specific stages. They often have competition in their studies. But after all, people's intelligence and ability are different. Some students are inevitably behind in their grades, and some students are inevitably psychologically fluctuating. Some students think that it is difficult for them to pass the normal channels, and sometimes they take risks and seek fraud. Lack of social integrity and moral defects are also one of the important factors leading to college entrance examination fraud. Contemporary China is in a profound and rapid social transformation period. Especially since the reform and opening up, China's traditional moral concepts have undergone historic changes under the stimulation and promotion of the market economy. On the one hand, in the past, only the spirit was emphasized, not the material; Only talk about national and collective interests, not personal interests; Great changes have taken place in the values that only pay attention to moral goals but not utilitarian principles. The concepts of equality, subjectivity, competition and benefit have gradually become the mainstream of college students' ideological and moral concepts. On the other hand, the market economy is utilitarian and competitive, which permeates people's social life and induces negative effects to some extent. In addition, China's socialist market economic system is imperfect, the political system reform needs to be further strengthened, the new moral system has not been fully constructed, and education is relatively backward, which has led to some dishonest phenomena in society and formed an anti-honesty cultural atmosphere to a certain extent. Influenced by the anti-honesty culture, contemporary college students can't form a correct understanding of honesty, and honesty is seriously lacking.

In order to completely put an end to cheating in the college entrance examination, before the college entrance examination every year, the state will introduce relevant policies to rectify the college entrance examination discipline. Education and relevant departments all over the country have also taken various effective measures to safeguard the fairness and justice of the college entrance examination. Many provinces and cities have successively issued "good faith agreement", "good faith responsibility form" and "good faith contract" for college entrance examination. What can this do? It's like a customer promising the security guard at the door not to steal goods before visiting the supermarket. How pathetic! With the highly developed and widely used mobile communication tools, many college entrance examination sites generally use shielding instruments and fingerprint instruments. Some also implement electronic monitoring, which can be said to be a battle of wits. Although all localities make full use of the achievements of modern scientific and technological civilization to combat fraud, living facts have repeatedly proved that the phenomenon of college entrance examination fraud is not fade away! Honesty is a person's basic moral quality, the basis of standing on the society, and the focus of the current socialist spiritual civilization construction. Honesty and trustworthiness should be the basic attitude of college entrance examination students. However, from the actual situation of the college entrance examination, the phenomenon of cheating in the college entrance examination occurs from time to time, and the forms of cheating are constantly being refurbished. There are social, school and family reasons for this situation, but it is mainly the candidates themselves, which shows that these candidates have a weak sense of integrity. Cheating in college entrance examination is a "good faith" problem. By asking cheaters, they all know that cheating is wrong and a kind of fraud.

What shouldn't be done is finally done, and some don't even care. This is a disregard for "honesty" and a manifestation of moral defects. Cheating in the college entrance examination actually has deeper social roots. Human society is a large system that has been passed down from generation to generation, and the overall resource allocation of society is limited, which determines that society is bound to be full of competition. If the social distribution is unfair, this kind of competition will be more intense. However, under the system of unfair social distribution, differences in innate conditions, especially those from family background and household registration, often lead to future inequality of individuals, including great differences in social resources and development opportunities. In addition, the current social atmosphere is unhealthy and the mechanism of selecting and employing people is unfair, which further intensifies the fierce and disorderly competition. Especially for those rural candidates, under the background of exam-oriented education, the only way for rural children to break the household registration and jump out of the farm gate is almost the "single-plank bridge" of the college entrance examination. Thousands of troops crossed the wooden bridge in order to become city dwellers, civil servants and iron rice bowls one day. You can imagine how heroic this is! In the realistic context of "score is the last word", it is not surprising that tens of millions of candidates have racked their brains to take risks. According to the viewpoint of economics, when people engage in certain behaviors, they often consider the proportional relationship between costs and benefits. Those who choose to cheat in the college entrance examination will inevitably conduct a cost-benefit analysis before cheating occurs. When the cost of fraud is far higher than the income, the necessity of fraud will be re-examined, and the choice of fraud or fair competition is mainly decided by candidates and parents according to the comparison of the cost and income of fraud. When the cost is higher than the income, candidates may take risks with luck. When paying a certain "cost" will only yield a heavy price, I believe no candidate will try the law. The lack of legal basis for punishing fraudsters is one of the important reasons why fraudsters take risks. Sign a "letter of good faith responsibility" for candidates who take the college entrance examination, and rely on the power of morality to educate candidates to abide by the discipline of the examination room. However, due to the non-mandatory moral means, legal means is still an effective means to solve the problem of cheating in exams. However, at present, there are no laws and regulations on examinations in China. The most authoritative ones are the Interim Measures for the Implementation of Educational Administrative Punishment and the Measures for Handling Violations in National Education Examinations promulgated by the Ministry of Education, which stipulate cheating in examinations in a non-legal way and lack legal authority. The punishment for cheaters is too light, which connives at the spread of cheating and leaves some room for the existence of cheaters in the college entrance examination. According to reports, in recent years, when investigating some cheating cases in the college entrance examination, because there is no relevant legal basis, candidates can only void the scores of this subject. There is no relevant sentencing basis for team crime. This lighter punishment also makes parents and candidates dare to take risks.

Outside the heavily guarded college entrance examination room, several ghostly figures are as busy as the candidates in the examination room. They are carrying out a secret "action"-during the college entrance examination this year, in the examination room of No.1 junior high school in Binhai County, a case of organized fraud by using high-tech equipment such as radio was seized by the local police on the last day of the college entrance examination, and many candidates, "gunmen", organizers and others were arrested on the spot, and several miniature camera, a radio device and other equipment were seized. Yesterday (10, the same below), the case of cheating in the radio college entrance examination was not heard in public in Binhai County Court, and five suspects were prosecuted for allegedly illegally obtaining state secrets.

This criminal gang that uses radio equipment to organize cheating in the college entrance examination has a clear division of labor. As early as May 2009, Huang Lei, who was studying in a university in Guizhou, and Ge, who just graduated from the university, conspired to "earn some money" by using their own electronic communication technology to obtain the answers to this year's college entrance examination papers and sell them to candidates at a high fee. Huang Lei and another college student, Han, bought a set of high-grade radio equipment from other places. Ge is responsible for delivering the answers to the college entrance examination, and Zhang (handled separately) contacts the "buyer", that is, the candidates for the college entrance examination. In addition, Ma Shiyang, a high school teacher from Wu Xun Middle School in Binhai County, is responsible for finding the "gunman" who answered the questions, and then finding the teacher who answered the questions through Chen Mou, a teacher from Xiangshui No.2 Middle School (the two cases are handled separately). Han is also responsible for training students to operate equipment.

During the college entrance examination on June 7, 2009, three female candidates were trained to hide a button-sized miniature camera in a bra and put wireless miniature headphones in their ears, which successfully escaped the security check outside the examination room. After sorting out the Chinese and math test questions in the examination room, they scanned the test papers with a camera and transmitted them to the "command center" outside the examination room in the form of video. Han and others transferred the questions they received to the invited ones. Just as this seemingly "perfect" cheating was carried out in an orderly way, it was detected by sensitive testing instruments. On the afternoon of June 8, 2009, the last day of the college entrance examination, the police radio signal detection vehicle of Binhai County, which was ordered to perform the monitoring task of the college entrance examination, was still slowly patrolling and searching among several test sites in the county. When the inspectors came to the vicinity of the test center of Binhai No.1 Middle School, several staff members were suddenly "shocked" and their eyes suddenly opened wide. The detection instrument sent out a strong abnormal communication signal. Through professional sensitivity and technical experience, the staff immediately became alert: will someone cheat by radio near the test center?

Suspicious information is transmitted layer by layer. Soon, the inspection team composed of public security and college entrance examination inspectors immediately searched in the direction of signal transmission. Soon, a radio device was found on the roof of a hotel on the west side of the test center of Binhai No.1 junior high school! Moreover, it is only about 100 meters away from the examination room separated by a wall. After expert technical appraisal, the seized radio equipment is valuable, with audio and video transmission function, strong transmission power and clear long-distance call. In other words, someone in the examination room is cheating by using radio equipment. The police also learned that a few days before the exam, someone was mysteriously busy upstairs and downstairs for many days, but before the searchers arrived, the group had left in panic. After the discovery of radio equipment outside the school, the atmosphere in the examination room suddenly became tense. According to insiders, many students who were taking the college entrance examination at that time were taken out of the examination room for investigation, and miniature cameras were found on the candidates for transmitting video and receiving audio.

Using high-tech means to organize college entrance examination fraud cases immediately attracted the attention of the police and education authorities. Soon, college entrance examination fraud gangs, including leaders of Binhai Middle School and high school teachers of Binhai Wu Xun Middle School, were arrested, involving more than 20 people. Wei Guoxing, one of the defendants in this college entrance examination fraud case, is 5 1 year-old this year and is the chairman of the labor union of Binhai Middle School. In this fraud case, he played a disgraceful role, colluded with several other people, and used his status as a teacher and leader to act as a "broker" to buy and sell college entrance examination answers among college entrance examination students. Before the college entrance examination, there was a "gossip" among students that they could buy college entrance examination answers with money, which actually aroused the interest of many students with poor grades and their parents.

Under the secret introduction of Wei Guoxing, more than * * * 10 people bought answers when preparing for the college entrance examination, and the answer for each exam was 10000 yuan, which was paid in advance before the exam. The two sides also agreed that if the cheating was unsuccessful, the money would be returned to the students in full. The procuratorate said in the indictment yesterday that when cheating, Ma Shiyang faxed the answer to Ge and others who had agreed to wait by the fax machine in advance. Ge received the answer and faxed it to Huang Lei. Huang transmitted the answer to the candidates who bought the answer in the examination room through cheating equipment. This alone, Ma Shiyang got a reward of 50,000 yuan from Ge. On the afternoon of June 8, Ma Shiyang, Huang Lei and Han suddenly saw a radio test car around the examination room, so they gave up cheating, and the candidates in the examination room lost their source of answers. Afterwards, Huang Lei and others successively returned some money to the candidates.

Wei Guoxing also received a reward of 40,000 yuan from Ge and others for introducing candidates to buy answers. After the incident, Ma Shiyang, Ge and Han fled for fear of sin, but they were arrested and brought to justice by police in Nanjing, Handan and Shanghai. Yesterday morning 10, the first case of using radio equipment to organize college entrance examination fraud in Jiangsu Province was heard in Binhai County People's Court. Because it involves state secrets, the case takes the form of summary procedure and is not heard in public. Although no announcement was made before the trial, people who wanted to attend the trial gathered outside the court early in the morning, including relatives of suspects who planned and organized fraud.

Outside the court, a middle-aged couple, their son Huang Lei, was one of the masterminds of the fraud. Huang Lei, a 24-year-old college student in Guizhou, has been detained for several months. Yesterday, the middle-aged couple eagerly waited for their son to appear, but because the trial was closed, they could only lie on the windowsill outside the court, hoping to see their son through the glass. If nothing had happened to my son, he would be a junior now. "We didn't know that he planned to cheat in the college entrance examination." This year's college entrance examination, the family always thought that he was studying in Guizhou. Until the school informed him that he was caught cheating in the college entrance examination in his hometown in Binhai. All five defendants are highly educated and have certain professional skills. They have at least a college degree, and some of them have just graduated from college.

It is reported that the five suspects are Huang Lei and Han, college students, Ge, who just graduated from college, Wei Guoxing, chairman of the labor union of Binhai Middle School, and Ma Shiyang, a teacher of Binhai Middle School. In the public prosecution, the procuratorate claimed that five people were suspected of illegally obtaining state secrets, and their actions all violated the criminal law. The facts of the crime were clear and the evidence was indeed sufficient. They asked the court to investigate the criminal responsibility of five people for illegally obtaining state secrets. After the trial, it was learned from relevant parties that several suspects confessed their criminal facts in the morning trial, especially three young people, who showed deep remorse for their actions. It is reported that the verdict will be announced in the near future. The lawyer of one of the defendants told the reporter that although the facts of the crime are clear, the defense lawyers of several defendants will actively strive for a lighter judgment by the court according to law.

The case itself seems to be coming to an end, but it has left people with deep doubts. What should those students who have bought the answers do? What will happen in this vortex? The reporter learned from many sources and failed to know the number of candidates involved and the processing results. A staff member of Jiangsu Education Examinations Institute told reporters yesterday that if students who take the exam buy answers and cheat with instruments in the examination room, they will be disqualified from the exam according to relevant regulations or their test scores will be recorded in the college entrance examination integrity file. "Cheating in the college entrance examination can change a person's life."

The school leaders of the two teachers told reporters that organizing students to cheat is the personal behavior of individual teachers and has nothing to do with the management of school teachers and the functional work of the education administrative department. In addition, some lawyers pointed out that this fraud case using high-tech means seems to be a blasphemy and disclosure of state secrets, and it also undermines the mechanism of selecting talents through the national college entrance examination, and the fairness and seriousness of the examination will also be questioned.
