The reporter learned from the Ministry of Education that the Ministry of Education recently issued a reminder on jointly boycotting illegal competitions for primary and secondary students. The Ministry of Education pointed out that those not included in the List of National Competitions for Primary and Secondary School Students in the 2022-2025 Academic Year published by the Ministry of Education are illegal "black competitions"; The results of all competitions shall not be used as the basis for enrollment of primary and secondary students, nor shall they be used as the bonus items of the entrance examination for middle and high schools. In the past half of the winter holiday, the majority of primary and middle school students, accompanied by their parents, are exercising, cultivating interest, respecting the elderly and filial piety, and practicing labor, and are reaping meaningful holidays. But at the same time, it was found that some people took the opportunity of winter vacation to hold competitions in violation of regulations. For example, a WeChat group spread the news of "Hope Mathematics" illegal competition held online on the sixth day of the New Year. In this regard, the Ministry of Education, together with the relevant departments, has carried out a serious investigation and punishment, and the relevant institutions have issued a statement that they did not participate in the illegal competition. In addition, the Ministry of Education pointed out that it is illegal and illegal for companies and individuals concerned to spread rumors of "winning examinations and helping students to enter a higher school", sell anxiety and illegally collect money through official account, WeChat groups and other means, which not only aggravates the burden of students, damages the physical and mental health of children, but also is suspected of fraud. It is hoped that students and parents will rationally view the significance and value of participating in the competition and jointly resist the illegal "black competition". The Ministry of Education said that education administrative departments at all levels will work with relevant departments to crack down on illegal competitions, effectively reduce the burden of students' holidays and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the masses. Welcome the whole society to participate in the supervision and jointly maintain a good education environment. Photo source: WeChat official account of Weyan Education (Lixin News Agency)
