TWO education company branch heads have been detained for allegedly selling test answers in several subjects to students taking part in January's National Graduate Entrance Exams.
Chen Liangwei and Li Jiahui, who headed the Changsha and Guangzhou branches of Beijing-based Qihang Education Group, were accused of disclosing the national secrets, Nanfang Daily reported yesterday.
They allegedly leaked the answers around 30 minutes ahead of the exams to those who paid for Qihang's training courses. The answers included those for the English, politics and math tests, the report said.
The answers were sent by text message or instant messaging service QQ to tens of thousands of students across the nation, the report said.
After answers for the English and politics tests, which were held on the first day of the three-day exams on January 7, were proven accurate, Li boasted online, saying "Qihang created the legend."
Li then published several bank accounts on the Internet and lured other test takers to buy answers for exams over the next two days, the report said.
However, when the Ministry of Education started to investigate, Qihang denied any connection, claiming it was being defamed by someone identified as "Wangzheguilai," who was said to have leaked the answers.
As the probe continued, Qihang changed its story and blamed Chen and Li. It denied they were its employees and said they ran the training centers at a Qihang franchise, China Youth Daily reported.
The Ministry of Education will require some examinees take a new English test, said Yuan Guiren, the minister of education.
"We will disqualify them if they have participated in the fraud," Yuan said.
He didn't say how examinees will be dealt with for violations on tests in other subjects, the report said.
Growing numbers of university graduates are sitting the entrance exams to embark on post-graduate studies, as more employers seek recruits with higher qualifications.
The tests carry high stakes and that's why some take the risk to buy the answers.
Fraudulent activities are rampant even though the country has spent hundreds of millions of yuan to prevent exam fraud by improving test facilities and adopting advanced equipment to detect high-tech fraud, according to Yuan.
Exam answers were posted in a web forum before the 2011 Chinese National Uniform CPA Examination, held last September. The questions were also reportedly leaked for the certified architect exam last year.
