Recently, students of Xi'an University of Science and Technology have been "noisy" to modify their grades, which has caused heated discussions. Previously, a teacher at the school revealed that the change was threatened by a student who did not pass the grade, parents and the school's language, on the grounds that it "affected the child's future" and "caused stains". The staff who changed the grades responded that they were "saving" the students and did not want to affect their continued studies.
On May 14, the university issued a circular, and many people involved in the incident, including the academic clerk, the head of the course group, the associate dean in charge of teaching, the dean, and the secretary of the party committee of the college, were punished. Although the school has faced social concerns about the suspicious issues this time, many netizens still have doubts: behind the "modification" of university grades, the identity and background of parents of unqualified students still need to be investigated.
As we all know, students are the first responsible for their grades. At this stage, the test results of various disciplines are one of the indicators to test teaching results, and the "Regulations on the Management of Students in Ordinary Colleges and Universities" issued by the Ministry of Education clearly stipulates: "Schools shall improve the management system of students' academic achievements and student records, record and issue students' academic results truthfully and completely, and mark the results obtained through make-up examinations and retakes." ”
At present, one of the important missions of universities is to build a high-quality higher education system, improve the qualifications of talents, and improve the quality of training, which is related to school spirit and discipline, and is also the bottom line to ensure the quality of university education. "Revision according to trouble" is a violation of discipline and regulations, infringing on the construction of school spirit, teaching style, and study style. If the hand of parents' "rights" can be extended into colleges and universities, how can the evaluation system of college education ensure fairness and seriousness? If teachers fail to ensure that students' grades are objective, so that students with unqualified grades occupy other people's graduate places, and send dishonest students to higher institutions, how can we talk about educational fairness for students with qualified grades.
Educational equity is an important foundation for maintaining social equity, and those who shake the cornerstone need to be severely punished. Revision of grades is "vexatious", but the "correction by noise" in the above incident also reflects the school's regulatory loopholes. In the face of parental coercion and intimidation, colleges and universities should submit to the relevant departments for intervention when the signs are about to ignite.
Top news commentators believe that the school's revision of grades due to "trouble" is an unhealthy trend of conniving at students to "put things on the loose" and parents to "play power". At the same time, the relevant departments should find out the parents behind the "farce" drama, respond to social concerns, and educate a pure land.
