Chapter 74 The cheating incident in the college entrance examination

While seeking a final ruling from superiors, the Ministry of Education also tried to figure out why candidates in the military sub-district have such a high pass rate.

In the first year of the resumption of the college entrance examination, the vast majority of educated youth candidates were taken care of, and the actual level of factory workers was relatively difficult. But this was not a special session for educated youth and workers candidates, and it also included a considerable number of fresh graduates and past graduates, but even for them, the college entrance examination pass rate was not so high, and there must be a reason for this.

Either the teaching level of the military sub-district exceeds that of the country, or the test questions have been leaked!

Otherwise, from common sense, it won’t make sense!

It is said that the education level of the military sub-district is much higher than that of the country. The Ministry of Education, and even the education departments and bureaus in various places will not admit it. This is a slap in the face. A group of teachers who have been away from the education position for many years, even from the time they have been in the military sub-district, the total number of students who have been teaching for half a year, and the scores of candidates are far higher than those of students who have been studying in junior high school and high school for six years. If they admit this, they must first admit their incompetence!

Moreover, similar to the extremely high admission test pass rate of the military sub-district, the college entrance examination pass rate of several counties and cities around Ruili, Zhenkang and other military sub-districts is also far higher than the average level of 4.8% in China. The highest Zhenkang County examination area reached 24%, and the average pass rate of several other counties and cities is also around 10%.

It can be said that most of the more than 5,000 indicators in the entire Yunnan Provincial area have been included in these places!

As soon as I saw this result, the investigators felt a chill on their backs. Is this a result? It can only be that the test questions were leaked.

This is a large-scale cheating!

Since the imperial examinations began, the leaks of exam questions have happened again and again. But every time the leaks of exam questions have followed, bloody storms are followed.

In ancient times, the people who passed the imperial examination were future court officials and were the foundation of the country. Leaking the test questions was equivalent to shaking the foundation of the dynasty. Any dynasty that still has control over the political situation could not tolerate such a thing. It would definitely be a matter of investigation to the end and eventually killing the individual.

In modern times, university education has replaced the imperial examinations, and students can no longer become officials directly after graduation, and their status has declined compared with the ancient times.

However, these students, especially college students, are still the most precious seeds of the country. Although they will enter the grassroots training after graduation, they will become cadres as soon as they enter. Grassroots training will be quickly promoted and reused in a few years. In time, they will be the backbone of the future in all walks of life, and their importance is even far more than the ancient pass.

The country has zero tolerance for possible cheating in the college entrance examination!

Shortly after this possibility was raised, it immediately caused anger from the entire senior management and ordered it to be investigated to the end. It also ordered that no matter how high the level of the person involved was or how old the qualification was, once it was discovered that there was indeed cheating, it would be taken immediately and there would be no mercy!

As a result, the entire education system fell into panic.

First check yourself.

The investigation starts from the source, from the question-setting persons in each subject, staff, custodians, drivers, and even cleaning staff who copied the test questions, from the heads of the teaching and research department, directors, and even ministerial officials who have reviewed the test questions, were reviewed by inspection teams sent by superior departments, explaining whether the test questions had been leaked to the outside world and who had talked about related issues. Relevant contacts, including their relatives, were also followed by clues and under repeated investigations.

The capital education system's major investigation was over, and several people who dared to take the blame and revealed some of the violations of discipline and regulations to relatives and friends, but they all confirmed that they had nothing to do with the extremely high pass rate of military sub-districts in several counties and cities in Yunnan.

Let’s check the question distribution channels.

The Ministry of Education, who completed the self-inspection work, breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the responsibility was not on them, the head would be saved. Then it would be that local violations would be violated, and the head would be killed, which had nothing to do with them.

A huge investigation team composed of discipline inspection, education, public security, external affairs and other ministries set out from the capital, without saying hello to the lower houses, went straight to Yunnan without telling each other, preparing to kill them off guard.

The first group of investigative team members took a plane and were picked up by the Public Security Department, which was notified to cooperate with the investigation as soon as they landed, and secretly entered the Provincial Department. Some of the personnel were waiting secretly, while other groups of investigators took the Provincial Department police car. With the cooperation of the Provincial Department's Public Security Bureau, they went to Ruili, Zhenkang and other counties and cities without stopping.

After these teams confirmed that they were in place by phone, all the people were mobilized at the same time and immediately took over the Provincial Department of Education and the education bureaus of several counties and cities involved in the case. From the director of the Education Bureau to the specific clerk, all personnel were stopped from working, and were allowed to enter and leave, and stayed honestly in their own offices, and were not allowed to whisper, talk to others, and strictly prevent collusion. After receiving the notice, they entered the office of the investigators one by one and were subject to separate review.

At the same time, follow-up investigators who arrived by express train also began to arrive in large numbers, taking over all key departments such as databases, archives and other key departments from the education departments at all levels of provinces, cities and counties.

Since the college entrance examination is divided into examination areas, localities print, supervise, and review the papers by themselves. The investigation team divided some personnel and jointly conducted investigations with the public security of printing factories and other related enterprises. Even the printer picker had to be questioned.

At the same time, cheating may also occur in the marking process, so a group of investigators specially selected to open the files, extract all the test papers of candidates involved in the above-mentioned areas, re-scored each test paper, and conducted a comprehensive review.

The re-examination of the test paper involved nearly 100,000 candidates, which was a lot of work, but shortly after the start, the investigators were shocked.

Through the examination papers of several counties and cities such as Military Sub-district, Ruili, Zhenkang, etc., it was found that the candidates in these places had a very comprehensive grasp of knowledge points, far exceeding the domestic level!

You should know that after the movement began, classes were suspended and revolutionized, but later, although classes resumed, the teaching order was still unstable. Later, in order to cultivate talents who were both popular and professional, the number of various quotations in the textbooks continued to increase, while relevant knowledge points continued to decline. In the later stage, the right to compile textbooks was transferred from the Ministry of Education to the Revolutionary Committee, and it was deleted and modified in large quantities. Among them, only a very small part of the content related to teaching needs remained, and most pages were filled with large paragraphs of quotations.

To sum up, it is "three machines and one pump" (physics) and "three major crops and one pig" (biology)!

Many of them were important knowledge points in textbooks more than ten years ago, and they were not visible in the current textbooks. Therefore, even a fresh high school student could not learn much in three years, and it was not much different from being a slutty life.

However, in the exam areas that are considered cheating in the college entrance examination this time, it can be clearly seen from all the test papers that have been reviewed that these candidates have a wide range of knowledge and are extremely systematic!

Many candidates do not know how to do the test questions, but from the process of answering them with a slightest answer, they can find that they have a clear direction to try. However, because the foundation is not solid enough, many related formulas are memorized by mistakes, etc., they either fail to complete the entire question or give wrong answers.

It can be confirmed that these candidates know where to start and answer this kind of question!

Such systematic knowledge mastery is extremely rare among candidates in the capital, but it is a common phenomenon among candidates in the above areas! It can be said that putting aside those passed test papers, even those failed test papers, it proves that they just don’t have enough time, and many key points that should be mastered cannot be remembered deeply, so they miss it. As long as they are given a period of time to review, the number of candidates who pass the entrance examination will double or even multiple times!

From this point of view, this doesn't seem like cheating...

Investigators who participated in the review quickly reported their doubts, and the investigators who were still tracing the leak of the test questions were immediately dissatisfied.

Could it be that the entire college entrance examination cheating incident was a mistake?

Everyone was panicked, especially the investigators sent by the Ministry of Education, who were even weaker. The so-called cheating of the college entrance examination was because they reported the college entrance examination, which made the senior management angry and triggered this earthquake. Who knew that after searching, it was very likely that this was not a cheating at all, but that the level of candidates in these areas did exceed the general national standards.

This is troublesome.

It’s a big deal!

A college entrance examination cheating incident involving a wide range of incidents and jointly investigated by multiple ministries and commissions may have been a misunderstanding. When they reported the results rashly, it was proved to be a complete dereliction of duty.

They do not believe that the examination area in a remote area is so high, so they arbitrarily believe that others have cheated. The root cause is that they are despising the education system in remote areas, and on the other hand, they are to shirk responsibility as soon as possible.

However, after pushing and pushing, they found that they were more responsible!

What should I do now? I can't cover the cover. Not only does it still stare at them and wait for them to find the results. Even so many investigators from relevant departments will send the news to the highest level, making them unable to cover even if they want to cover it.

Sure enough, the day after the review of the test paper was reported, the head of the investigation team, a deputy minister of the Ministry of Education, received a call from the capital. The phone was a familiar voice, and he did not scold them in a slight manner. He just asked: "So, the test pass rate in these places is high, not cheating, but the local candidates themselves have learned well?"

"This..." The deputy minister respectfully held the phone, sweat dripping from his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it. He organized his words and said tactfully, "We are still confirming the specific situation. At present, through the review, we only confirm that the candidates have prepared for the knowledge points of the test questions..."

Among them, the subtext is more inclined to leak the test questions. The candidates are all prepared, but he dare not speak so hard anymore.

"Then you have to check carefully. Whoever is responsible is the responsibility. If you prove that the person is innocent, you must also do a good job of explanation and not forcefully pouring dirty water on others. If you are not upright, how can you teach students well?" The other party's voice was not harsh, and it was relatively soft, but the deputy minister was so scared that he was sweating and said repeatedly.

Now that things have come to this, the staff of the Ministry of Education within the investigation team do not want to continue to investigate, for fear that the more they check, the more they are responsible. They try to characterize this incident as cheating based on the evidence of the existing test paper. If the examination questions were not leaked on a large scale in advance, how could all candidates know the scope of the exam and come prepared?

But they were not the only ones in the investigation team. Soon, the discipline inspection department obtained a thick stack of textbooks from the local education system under investigation.

These textbooks are completely different from China. You can tell at a glance that they are all new books and there are no quotations on them. According to the feedback from some teachers, these textbooks are compiled very well, with knowledge points from shallow to deep, detailed arguments, strict system, very suitable for students at all levels, and fully mastering all knowledge points in high school.

Moreover, these teachers also came up with a textbook tutorial book for teachers to use. This book did not enter all the contents of the textbook, but summarized the knowledge points in each chapter and each section: which are the core knowledge that students must master, which are the key knowledge that they should master, which are the knowledge points that are ordinary mastered, and which are the contents of general understanding, with clear levels and clear tips on how many lessons each knowledge point is taught, which is suitable for students to go from understanding to proficient use.

As long as teachers use this tutoring book, they can teach students in a targeted manner, thereby improving the teaching efficiency to the highest level.

The investigators called the test papers and compared them with textbooks and tutors to confirm that most of the test questions belong to the general knowledge level indicated in the tutors. Only a few questions exceed the scope of the knowledge points listed in the tutors, but they are also related to other knowledge points. If you master this knowledge, it is reasonable to extend and deduce the answer ideas.

Later, they further learned that all these textbooks and tutoring books were passed from the military sub-district.

When the news of the re-enrollment of the college entrance examination was announced nationwide, candidates from all provinces and cities were looking for textbooks to be used, and these counties and cities were no exception.

The head of the local education system was worried, and suddenly remembered that the military sub-district had printed a large number of junior and senior high school textbooks in the county printing factory in the early stage. They quickly found a sample book and immediately applauded and praised it. So they immediately made a large number of printings, trying their best to get local candidates to hand in one copy.

In addition, the printing factory also sent teaching tutoring books for various subjects, which is more targeted than ordinary textbooks. The local education system was overjoyed and reviewed it quickly and found that it could be used for local junior and high school teaching without any modifications.

Later, when the military sub-district sent a tutoring team to help several surrounding counties and cities provide pre-exam tutoring, several other counties and cities shouted that there were no suitable textbooks. After the county town found out, they generously printed tens of thousands of sets of textbooks and distributed them to each brother unit.

As a result, the spread of this set of teaching materials has become increasingly wider.

Not only were candidates used, but local teachers also used it, and they praised it after using it. At the same time, various factories and mines also used this set of textbooks and teaching tutoring books as designated textbooks for factory-run schools and night schools, and promoted them on a large scale.

Later, this set of textbooks was passed down by word of mouth and further spread to a wider range around the surrounding area. After printing factories in various places received this set of books, they immediately worked overtime to print them, and then distributed them one batch after another. In this way, a large number of people were still chasing them.

Facts have also proved that this set of textbooks is really good, and basically summarizes the relevant knowledge points that should be taught to junior and senior high school students. As long as you have studied carefully according to this set of textbooks, even if it is time-consuming and your foundation is not solid, you can calmly deal with the test papers. Even if you answer wrong, you will answer them within the correct test framework, but because of various objective reasons, you have not obtained the correct answer.

In addition, the investigators compared the teaching tutoring books and confirmed that the difficulty of the questions in this exam is indeed relatively low.

The difficulty of the test questions also makes more candidates who have carefully reviewed the textbook and pass the exam successfully. This does not mean that their level is much higher than other candidates in China, but that this set of textbooks is compiled too well.

This time, the pass rate of several counties and cities was extremely high, not the personal victory of students, but the systematic victory!

With a tens of thousands of words of investigation report, the tutoring books were sent to the capital along with a set of textbooks, and a so-called "college entrance examination cheating" incident that was well known to the whole country came to an end. The junior and senior high school textbooks that caused the entire incident quickly spread throughout the country. Countless schools, teachers, students, and even educated youth and workers who were determined to take the college entrance examination again next year all asked people to buy this book as a standard tutoring book.
