A county education bureau head and a middle school principal
were sacked Friday over a college entrance exam fraud, local
sources said.
Wang Yukui was sacked from his post as director of the Education
Bureau of Yangxian County and Li Pengyun, principal of the Yangxian
Middle School, was also removed from office.
Fifteen others, including a deputy director of the county
education bureau and a dean in charge of education affairs of the
middle school, also got punished because of the fraud.
Four students in the county were found to take the exam on June7
on behalf of others, according to an investigation team.
The identification card, registered residence and schooling
certificates of three students and replaced ones were all fake,
said the team.
