Chapter 324 The Origin of Pseudo-Experts
After Qi Tongwei chatted with his father-in-law for a while, the topic gradually turned to the poisonous textbook incident.
"When did this happen?" Pei Yihong asked with a heavy face.
Qi Tongwei replied: "It was approved at the beginning of this year and was discovered by a careful family.
Some of the illustrations are so unbearable to look at, and the two people in charge of the illustrations both studied abroad in Xiaori, and one of them studied under a famous painter in Xiaori. "
Hearing this, Pei Yihong frowned and asked doubtfully: "Tongwei, do you think they did it on purpose and received instructions from Xiaori?"
Qi Tongwei nodded and agreed: "It is indeed possible. Xiaori has always been ambitious, and the militarist ideology in the country has not disappeared.
In recent years, with the support of the Ugly Country, they have become more and more arrogant and seem to have some unrealistic ideas. "
After hearing this, Pei Yihong snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Humph, you really overestimate your own abilities! You thought we were still in the Republic of China period."
He expressed extreme contempt and disdain for the attempts of the little life.
"After I discovered this, I investigated the education system and found that it was in chaos and that fake experts were sitting on the podium.
Du Jing from our inspection team is a computer expert. She checked the resume of a professor who returned from overseas on the Internet. Guess what happened?" Qi Tongwei kept it a secret.
Pei Yihong said unhappily: "Tell me quickly?" He was not in the mood to guess riddles now.
Qi Tongwei said seriously: "This so-called expert is a poor student who couldn't even get into a university in our country. In the end, his family had no choice but to spend money to send him to study in a foreign country.
You should know the situation in the Ugly Country, where you can go to school as long as you pay money.
His degree and thesis were bought with money, and his actual level is very low. Apart from the fact that he has learned to speak fluent Chinese due to living abroad for a long time, he is not as good as some high school students in China in other aspects. "
"This is impossible. How could a university hire them?" Pei Yihong asked in disbelief.
“That’s true. They are just more knowledgeable than high school students, but their actual abilities are not as good as some high school graduates. As for why some universities would hire them, there are mainly two reasons.
First, some university leaders or school leaders blindly worship European and American countries and easily hire them without verification;
Second, these people often have some background and connections, plus that diploma, and they are hired. "Qi Tongwei really didn't think these people were better than high school students.
If these people were really stronger than high school students, they wouldn't say so many stupid things.
"Then how do they teach students?" Pei Yihong still couldn't believe it.
"Just read the textbooks. Most of these professors are professors of economics, society and other subjects. There are no fixed answers in these subjects. As long as you prepare well in advance, it is not difficult to teach.
These people are misleading students. Take this professor for example. After our investigation, we found that many papers signed by him plagiarized students' research results.
I don't know whether this situation is just an isolated phenomenon or a widespread problem, but I think we must pay great attention to it.
All experts and scholars with overseas study backgrounds should be strictly vetted to determine whether they are truly talented professionals or just scammers with a reputation for being so.”
Pei Yihong frowned and asked worriedly: "Will this make those experts who are truly capable and ambitious to return to China to contribute feel worried?"
Qi Tongwei shook his head and said, “I don’t think so.
The existence of those fake experts will only damage the reputation of the entire industry, and cracking down on them will actually gain support from the majority of people.
For those truly capable experts, they would rather see a fair and transparent environment rather than being implicated by those imposters.”
After hearing this, Pei Yihong nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Qi Tongwei's proposal.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Your uncle-in-law Xie Yongfei is at a critical stage now, so leave this matter to him."
Qi Tongwei echoed his agreement, "Okay, my uncle-in-law is the vice minister of the Ministry of Education, so it would be most appropriate for him to come forward."
Pei Yihong looked at his watch and it was still early, not even nine o'clock. So he decided to call Xie Yongfei immediately and invite him to come and discuss the specific action strategy.
When my brother-in-law Xie Yongfei heard that it was about his career, he hurried over.
He is already 56 years old this year. If he cannot be promoted to the ministerial level before he turns , he will have to retreat to the second line. How can he be willing to accept this?
If he can be promoted to the ministerial level, his age will no longer be a problem.
"Brother, Tongwei, what's the matter?" Xie Yongfei asked impatiently as soon as he sat down.
Seeing his uncle's anxious look, Qi Tongwei did not keep him in suspense and briefly recounted the story.
Xie Yongfei took this very seriously, as his future was at stake so he had no choice but to take it seriously.
After listening, Xie Yongfei did not speak immediately, but thought about what to do.
"Brother, Tongwei, this matter is very difficult. I'm afraid it will require the approval of our superiors to move forward."
Xie Yongfei knew very well that when facing those prestigious 985 universities, he would not be able to command them with his status as a deputy minister without clear instructions from senior leaders.
Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and said, “My dear uncle, you need to be strategic in this matter. I suggest you start by checking the poisonous textbooks. Each textbook has the signature of the reviewer and the illustrator.
You can check the list to see how they approved it and whether there is any power-for-money transaction involved. Also check the assets of the above-mentioned people to see if there are any huge assets of unknown origin. "
Pei Yihong took over the conversation and said, "Once this matter is verified, it will be much more legitimate for you to suggest to the leaders to strictly investigate the fake experts."
Xie Yongfei thought for a moment and said, "This is indeed a solution. Once this is done, everything else will follow naturally. But Tongwei, you have to do your uncle a favor."
"What do you say? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help." Qi Tongwei asked doubtfully, not knowing what he wanted him to help with.
Xie Yongfei smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I just haven't done any related investigation work, so I want you to recommend someone to me."
Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "I take it as a simple matter."
After finishing speaking, Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and continued, "Li Chengyang, who is with me now, is absolutely capable. Find a way to transfer him to the Education and Discipline Inspection Group. You can give him some work to do."
"Oh? Is this Li Chengyang really that powerful?" Xie Yongfei asked curiously.
Qi Tongwei nodded, "Of course, Li Chengyang is very smart and capable, especially in dealing with complex problems."
After hearing this, Xie Yongfei developed a little interest in Li Chengyang. "Okay, when I get back, I'll discuss it with my boss to see if I can transfer him over."
Pei Yihong thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute. Tong Wei will be transferred to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection when he returns next month. It would be more appropriate for him to make the arrangements. Besides, Li Chengyang is still in the inspection team, so he has to complete this inspection anyway."
Qi Tongwei and Xie Yongfei nodded at the same time.
The three of them then chatted for a while before ending the conversation.
Qi Tongwei gained a lot from his return to Beijing this time. The Zhang family's affairs were handed over to "Secretary Wang", and Qi Tongwei was relieved that he was in charge. The matter of the pseudo-expert also had a direction.
