Chapter 1572: Student Suicide

An online public opinion on education was sent to Wang Jian's desk, in which a high school student in a county in Xiangxiang Province committed suicide by jumping off a building because he could not afford to pay a high tuition fee.

As soon as Wang Jian saw this news, he couldn't help but pat the shore, a student committed suicide because of the matter of making up the tuition fee, so what is the purpose of our education? Is it to destroy their hearts?

In order to investigate the truth and deal with it seriously, Wang Jian immediately sent an investigation team to the Xiangxiang Provincial Department of Education, and together with the Department of Education, went to the scene of the crime to conduct an investigation.

After the investigation team came to the local county high school, they were warmly received by the local people, because this matter has received wide attention from the public opinion, so they are very careful about the arrival of the investigation team, for fear of being punished in the future, but the investigation team sent by Wang Jian was specially instructed by him not to have contact with the local government departments, if the personnel of the Department of Education decide to make contact, they can leave them alone, so although the personnel of the Department of Education notified the local government departments and received a warm reception, they did not accept their reception, but at his own expense, he lived in a hotel alone, which made the staff of the Department of Education and the local government very puzzling.

The local government department urgently consulted with the staff of the Department of Education, believing that the investigation team that came this time was not good, and now they have drawn a line with them, which is definitely not in their favor, and they must come up with countermeasures to deal with this matter.

After the investigation team acted alone, they came to the high school to investigate, but they were faced with the situation that no one could be found, and it seemed that they could not conduct an investigation without the cooperation of the local government department, but they made a false move, and at the same time went to the high school to investigate, they also came to the home of the student who committed suicide to investigate.

Because there were more reporters who came to investigate, so they turned into reporters to investigate, and after investigation, they learned the inside story, the main reason is that this female student is a child of a rural family, her parents are working outside, and her family is relatively poorAfter the start of the new semester, she didn't want to make up for it, she felt that the money was too much, and it was not easy for parents to make money, but other rich classmates made up for it, and in the face of this situation, she couldn't think about it for a while and committed suicide by jumping off the building at school.

This is a tragedy, is a tragedy of education utilitarianism and marketization, it doesn't have to be so, everyone goes to class and learns normally, without too much make-up class, if the make-up class does not pay the money, it is okay, but it is to pay a high fee, which makes it difficult for many parents to bear, but they have to spend, and no one wants their children to lose at the starting line. The investigation team found that not only high school schools need to make up classes, but also junior high school students also need to make up classes, and teachers do not teach those important knowledge in the classroom, but run tutorial classes for students after class, and then teach, which means that if there are students who do not participate in tutorial classes, they will pay a large fee

Tuition fees, then they simply can't keep up with the students who pay money to study, the state stipulates that the tuition for nine years of compulsory education is not charged, but the state does not charge it, the teacher began to collect it, and the collection is much more than the state, every time the state gives the benefits to the people, there will always be people who change the law to come back, and want more, this kind of behavior is really outrageous!

When the investigation team learned of this situation, they reported to the staff of the Department of Education, asking them to deal with it seriously, and to report back to the ministry, the staff of the Department of Education were also a little helpless in the face of their behavior, which was a bad reputation for them, and they had hoped to downplay this kind of thing by entertaining the investigation team well, so that they could report to the Ministry of Education after they returned, so as to reduce the responsibility of the local government and them, but they did not expect that after the personnel of the investigation team arrived at the place, they would not accept the banquet of the local governmentThis is too embarrassing for them, and the local government will probably think that they are incompetent, and the investigation team will not give them face.

Therefore, after hearing the request of the investigation team, the staff of the Department of Education remained silent, saying only that they would report to the leadership of the Department of Education when they returned. The investigation team did not say much, and after the investigation, they left the local area and returned to the capital.

After the staff of the Department of Education went back, they reported to Lu Taifa, the director of the department, and Lu Taifa heard that the investigation team was fine when he was in the province, but when he arrived at the locality, he acted alone, and he must have received special instructions from the leaders of the ministry, otherwise he would not have done so, and now that they have done so, how will he deal with this matter?

As the director of the Department of Education, this kind of thing has happened, naturally there will be no responsibility for this, the responsibility lies with the local government, if they deal with it, it must be the principal of the county No. 1 Middle School, the director of the county education bureau, and the director of the municipal education bureau will be punished accordingly, but the problem of severity is just dealt with, but now that the investigation team of the Ministry of Education is here, I am afraid that the Ministry of Education will have to decide how to deal with it.

After the investigation team returned to the Ministry of Education, it reported to Wang Jian what happened, hearing that it was such a thing, Wang Jian was silent, although he hated the teachers very much, but the most fundamental thing is that the supervision of the education administrative department is not effective, if the education supervision department can deal with it in a timely manner, the matter will not happen, there is a problem with the professional ethics of the teachers, but the supervision can not be absent, if the supervision is absent and the morality is lost, then the matter will be out of control, and the supervision of education must be rectified.

In order to make the Xiangxiang Education Department seriously handle this matter and ensure that this kind of tragedy does not occur again in other places, Wang Jian once again came to Xiangxiang Province to supervise and handle this matter.

Faced with Wang Jian's sudden arrival, Lu Taifa was very surprised, does such a thing need the minister to come in person? Isn't the next instruction enough? Therefore, he was very careful when he saw Wang Jian, although Wang Jian could not control his fate, his fate was in the hands of the province and not the ministry, but Wang Jian was the leader of the ministry, if he did not entertain Wang Jian well, Wang Jian put pressure on the provincial leaders, and it would be difficult to do this, so he showed a very sincere appearance to deal with this matter seriously.

In front of the vice governor in charge of Chen Jimin and Lu Taifa, Wang Jian said to them: "The principal, the director of the county education bureau, the vice principal in charge, and the deputy director in charge of the case want one."

We believe that the behavior of teachers in Pingzhi County to make up fees has reached a very rampant point, almost to the point where no school does not make up, no one does not make up, our education department has repeatedly reiterated that it is not allowed to make up classes outside of class time, and it is strictly forbidden to charge fees, but they ignore this policy of the state, and in order to seek the interests of schools and individuals, they have reached the level of doing everything they can, If we don't deal with them seriously, we can't serve as a warning, and this is only an administrative punishment, as for their dereliction of duty and inaction, is there criminal responsibility? This is a matter for the local judicial department, but the handling to be made by our education department should be like this, in front of Governor Chen, Director Lu, I will introduce the opinions of our Ministry of Education, do you have any opinions? ”

Wang Jian talked about the opinions of the ministry, in addition to not mentioning the responsibility of the Department of Education, it was mentioned from the county to the city, and it was dealt with very seriously, Lu Taifa listened to it and did not speak, Chen Jimin thought for a while and said: "Minister Wang, we are also very surprised and saddened by this kind of thing, but the comrades below sometimes do the wrong thing with good intentions, for example, the purpose of their make-up classes is to improve the academic performance of students, and the teachers are also considered to be overtime, and it may be reasonable to charge some fees appropriately, Of course, it is definitely wrong for them to do so, and we will increase supervision in this area in the future to avoid similar incidents from happening again, but do we have to leave room in dealing with them and give them a chance to correct? ”

Chen Jimin's opinion is actually Lu Taifa's opinion, but it is more suitable for Chen Jimin on this occasion, so Chen Jimin said it, and seeing that he had the intention of opening up the net, Wang Jian stopped and said: "Although it is said that the students are willing to make up the class, but the students have always listened to the teacher's words, and the students' hearts are very sensitive. This kind of mental coercion has greater consequences than direct coercion, otherwise the student would not have committed suicide, the school is a pure land, spiritual life should be the main thing, otherwise it will not play the role of education, we can't think that the school is voluntary to shirk responsibility, in the current situation, I think it is better to be strict. ”

Wang Jian's opinion is obviously different from Chen Jimin's opinion, at this time, Chen Jimin can't say more, and can't quarrel with Wang Jian because of this matter, so Lu Taifa continued: "We understand Minister Wang's meaning, and it is right to deal with it seriously, but there are also the following specific circumstances, and the opinions of our education department may not be accepted by them. ”

Lu Taifa pushed this matter to the county government and the municipal government, and after Wang Jian listened to his words, he felt that this matter was not a question of whether it could be handled, and the Xiangxiang education department had a protective style in dealing with cadres, and it was impossible to do it, and this may not only be the case of one department, but also the atmosphere of the entire officialdom, and if it can't be done, it will inevitably lead to cadres becoming impetuous and irresponsible, and something will definitely happen!
