Hello, i am the best person to bring you the hottest readings and depths of life on a daily basis, and the content does not follow the currents, but rather the real goods. If you care to educate people and value society, you might want to look at the front lines on a daily basis。
Education has always been the softest attachment of families. From the very first day the children entered school, the parents entrusted the full promise to the school. - expecting children to grow up healthy in the voice of books and to learn in a fair and pure environment. The campus, which is supposed to be a clean place far from dust, is the temple of the lycans and the cradle of knowledge and justice. Some time, however, a small number of people who had the power to manage the campus had turned public power into a private tool, turning the resources of the students who were supposed to serve it into a source of personal enrichment, putting the purely sexual nature of education undermining the trust of parents。
And just in mid-april 2026, an anti-corruption storm in the field of basic education hit the spotlight of society as a whole. From 13 april to 18 april, in a short period of six days, the supervisory board of the sanctuary of hunan, guangdong and anhui issued successive authoritative circulars. Five principals of primary and secondary schools, including the former principals, were prosecuted for serious disciplinary offences and were brought to justice, with a strong message and a clear message: education to fight corruption is not just about words, but about realism, hard punches and the end。
These five circulars, which were officially issued by the local disciplinary inspectorates, were authentic and authoritative, covered the entire cycle of primary, lower secondary and upper secondary education, including the heads of active campuses and education managers who had retired for many years, breaking the practice of “retired and settled”, demonstrating a firm commitment to “full coverage, zero tolerance and lifelong accountability”. On 13 april, the former secretary-general and headmaster of the second secondary school in hunan county were examined; on 16 april, the former secretary of the party, the headmaster of a provincial model high school in guangdong (retired in 2022) and the former deputy secretary and headmaster of a well-known school in anhui were informed of the same day; on 17 april, the former secretary of the party and the principal of the deputy district school of another pilot secondary school in anhui district (retired for two years) were examined; and on 18 april, the former headmaster of a primary school in a centre in guangdong hoezhou was dismissed. From urban focus to district-level secondary schools, from high school to primary school, from in-service to retirement, five campuses have been successively inspected in just six days, a concentration that has been rare in recent years in the fight against corruption in basic education, and is not an incidental case-by-case confluence, but rather a concentration of efforts to combat corruption in the national education system。
Many may wonder why there is no room for corruption because of the low position of headmaster and limited power. Indeed, it is precisely this cognitive error that perpetuates the potential for corruption in schools. The principals of primary and secondary schools, although not at the highest level, are in charge of the human, financial and material rights of the schools, covering the essentials of engineering, procurement of materials, operation of canteens, teaching support, tailoring of school uniforms, recruitment of teachers and allocation of degrees, each of which is closely linked to education funding and student interests, and which, in the event of lack of supervision and loss of control, becomes a breeding ground for corruption. The many cases investigated in recent years show that corruption in schools is no longer a “battle-up” but permeates all aspects of the school operation, ranging from tens of thousands to millions of dollars, with hidden and varied means, eating on the very foundations of the public good of education, to the detriment of the vital interests of thousands of students。
In the case of school meals, which are the most important concern of parents, this is a civilian project designed to guarantee the nutritional well-being of students, but it becomes the “tang monk” in the eyes of a few. The food chain, which designates the relationship supplier, misrepresents the price, fills it up in order to extract the kickbacks from every pound of vegetables and meat; in the operation of the canteens, the school meals are collected, the nutritional supplement is diverted, a small vault is set up, and after the floor is stripped, the food in the school bowl is of insufficient quantity and quality. There have been cases in which the headmaster of a school, in collaboration with the head of logistics, falsely reported food consumption and reduced procurement costs, set aside several million yuan in a few years for personal waste and irregularities in the distribution of benefits, while students eat cold meals and oligarchy for a prolonged period of time, which both hurt the child's body and worsen the parents ' heart。
The procurement of teaching aids and uniforms is also a high incidence of corruption. Some principals use job facilities to force or disguise students to purchase designated teaching aids, in collusion with booksellers, to collect high rates of kickbacks, a set of dozens of dollars of teaching aids, which can account for 30 per cent or more of the sales price; in school uniforms, the bid process is customised, in which the bid process is handled in secret boxes, which select low-quality and low-priced factories for personal gain, in which students wear incompetent and inflate uniforms, while parents pay far more than the cost. In addition, there are power-seeking spaces for school construction maintenance, procurement of equipment, recruitment of teachers, transfer of schools, and the use by a few of the “lawmakers” “relationship posts” “human works” to destroyEquity in educationIt's not like it's so bad that it's so bad, it's so bad, it's so bad。
The root causes of corruption in schools are the concentration of power and the lack of oversight. For a long time, some primary and secondary schools have been headed by principals, who have the same power over party affairs, administration and finance. The “first-in-first-in-first-in-first-in-first-in-first-in-first-out” system has been prominent. Internal oversight structures have been defunct and financial approvals and project decisions have been made by one or a few individuals. At the same time, the supervision of grass-roots schools by the education authorities, which tends to focus on academic achievement, the construction of heavy hardware, light financial auditing, less integrity oversight, leaving audits in a formal fashion, and soft day-to-day supervision, leaves a huge gap in corruption. It is even more alarming that some of the principals have been in the same position for a long time, for five or six years, and for more than 10 years, forming a strong circle of interests in schools, with familiar societies and human relationships, making it more difficult for supervision to intervene, leading to major errors and corruption。
This educational anti-corruption storm, which began in 2026, was aimed precisely at the fallout, precision, targeting and treatment. As early as 16 march this year, the ministry of education held a mobilization and deployment meeting to deepen the fight against corruption in the educational sector, which explicitly incorporated the fight against corruption in the educational sector into the national priorities, and set out the principles of “a comprehensive approach to the fight against corruption, with both its symptoms and symptoms, and its systematic promotion and focus”. Subsequently, the ministry of education launched the “year of consolidation of the regulation of basic education” by issuing 20 negative lists that explicitly prohibit irregular enrolment, paid remedial classes, irregular recruitment of teaching aids, compulsory purchase of school uniforms, excessive fees, etc., from expressing strong concerns and defining untouchable disciplinary red lines。
At the same time, the central disciplinary commission has included the field of education in its annual priority control list. In collaboration with the ministry of education, the local disciplinary inspectorates have set up a “double-checking” mechanism to examine both disciplinary violations committed by the principals involved and the lack of responsibility of the education authorities, thus creating a coherent and coordinated effort to combat corruption. Even more crucial is the fight against corruption, which breaks the “retire exoneration” zone and imposes lifelong accountability, both in office and in retirement, and which, if suspected of breaking the law, is to be completely eliminated. In addition, in response to the concentration of power in the campus, the system of rotation of key positions has been introduced, requiring the headmaster and the director of general services to rotate every three years, before which strict financial liability audits are carried out, thereby breaking the benefits of permanent service。
In order to curb corruption from its sources, there have also been strong public and public scrutiny of schools. Full disclosure of the core issues of school finance, procurement, enrolment, fees and so forth, allowing power to operate in the light of the sun; establishment of a monitoring committee composed of parents, teachers and community representatives to participate in the entire course of school procurement verification, auditory accounting, monitoring of fees, and the transformation of parents from “standers” to “supervisors”. At the same time, channels of reporting have been opened, online and offline reporting platforms have been set up to respond to and follow up on public accounts of corruption in schools, and to create a favourable environment for joint social oversight。
This raging education against corruption has led not only to the fall of a group of corrupters, but also to a profound rejuvenation of the educational ecology. For parents, children's educational rights and interests are more firmly guaranteed, without fear for school fees, poor diets and unfair admissions; for teachers, the school culture is clearer, with merit and promotions returned to justice, and no longer be held hostage; for students, the school environment is pure, where they can read and feel the power of justice, and the power of justice is restored to their lives; for society as a whole, the bottom line of education equity is secured and the public good attributes of education are restored, so that the belief that “knowledge changes destiny”。
Education flourishes and the state is stronger. Basic education, which is the foundation of education, is vital to the future of the country and to its national aspirations, which must not be impurities or corrupt practices. This six-day search of five school principals is only a microcosm of the fight against corruption in education, backed by the firm will of the state to address the phenomenon of education and to protect the clean land of schools. This is not a one-wind exercise, but rather a normal, institutionalized and long-lasting system of governance. It is a long-lasting battle without smoke and smoke. The aim is to make every school a pure breeding house, where every educationer holds the heart of the tetris and where every child thrives in a fair educational environment。
As ordinary people, we are both a witness and a participant and promoter of education against corruption. Attention to the dynamics of education, support for anti-corruption action, active participation in monitoring and the pooling of each individual's strength into a flood that protects the clean land of education. We firmly believe that, as education continues to fight corruption, the tighter the institutional cage, the more the surveillance network becomes, the more the cancers of corruption hidden in schools will be eliminated, the more the culture of education will become, and the light of education will light up the way forward for every child。
