On the afternoon of December 5, 2018, the Information Office of the Zhejiang Provincial Government held a press conference to announce the results of the survey on the weighted scores of English subjects in the college entrance examination in Zhejiang Province in November 2018.
After investigation, the weighting of the English subject of the college entrance examination was a major liability accident caused by a serious mistake in decision-making.
On November 24, after the results of the English subject of the Zhejiang Provincial College Entrance Examination were announced, some students and parents questioned the test results and the method of weighting and assigning points, which aroused widespread concern in the society.The Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government attach great importance to it, and Che Jun, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, has held several meetings on special topics.On December 1, the Provincial Party Committee decided to set up a provincial government investigation team with Governor Yuan Jiajun as the team leader, and Ren Zhenhe, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, and acting director of the Provincial Supervision Committee as deputy team leader, and relevant authoritative experts to participate.
On December 4, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee convened to listen to the report of the investigation team and conduct special research.After investigation, the weighting of the English subject of the college entrance examination was a major liability accident caused by a serious mistake in decision-making.
After the English subject test of the college entrance examination in November, the Provincial Department of Education and the Provincial Education Examination Institute received feedback from some candidates and parents that the test was too difficult, so they weighted some test questions according to the difficulty of the test questions in the same period last year.
The investigation team believes that the decision-making basis for the weighting of English subjects in the college entrance examination is insufficient, and the decision-making is seriously wrong, resulting in unfair and unreasonable results.Zhejiang Province’s comprehensive reform pilot plan for deepening the college entrance examination and admission system stipulates that Chinese, mathematics, and foreign languages each have 150 points, and the points are included in the candidates’ total scores.The post-test weighted score changes the test score, which does not comply with the above-mentioned documents.
According to the relevant regulations of the education department, the scoring rules should be formulated before the official marking.The weighted assignment was carried out after the formal marking was completed, and it did not belong to the scope of the detailed scoring rules. The main person in charge of the Provincial Department of Education and the Provincial Education Examination Institute confused the concepts of weighted scoring and the detailed scoring rules.In the specific operation, the Provincial Education Examination Institute did not conduct sufficient technical demonstrations, and only conducted simulation deduction, resulting in differences in the weighted scores of different candidates for the same question.
Decision-making procedures are not in compliance.According to the major administrative decision-making procedures of Zhejiang Province, major administrative decisions should be fully demonstrated, carefully studied, and collectively decided according to the procedures. However, the main person in charge of the Provincial Department of Education failed to perform his duties correctly, violating the principle of democratic centralism, and made individual decisions without collective research.major issues concerning the overall situation and stability.The relevant responsible comrades of the Provincial Education Examination Institute did not adhere to the principle when the majority of the dean's office meeting held different opinions, and passed and implemented the wrong decision of weighting and assigning points in violation of regulations.
At the same time, the investigation team organized marking experts to conduct a strict inspection on the process and results of the English test paper marking, and believed that the English test marking organization complied with the relevant regulations of the college entrance examination, the marking and scoring were strict and fair, and the original scores of the candidates were legalefficient.
In accordance with the principle of seeking truth from facts, correcting any mistakes, and correcting any mistakes, the provincial government decided to cancel the weighted scores of this test and restore the original scores.
After listening to the report of the investigation team and doing special research, the provincial party committee and the provincial government decided to pursue the responsibility of relevant functional units and relevant responsible persons in accordance with the provisions of the Communist Party of China Accountability Regulations of the People's Republic of China Supervision Law on the Resignation of Party and Government Leading Cadres and other provisions.
