Zhengzhou Municipal Education Bureau apologises
"Zhengzhou Education Bureau Publicly Apologizes for Tirade Against Reporter"

17 July 2023
In the wake of recent controversies surrounding Zhengzhou's education system, including allegations of school admission price manipulation and the sale of school places, tensions have risen. A social media post about these issues led to a heated exchange between an official from the Zhengzhou Municipal Education Bureau and a reporter from Top News.
The incident occurred when the director of the publicity and foreign affairs department at the education bureau called the reporter, apparently in response to questions raised by the public through the platform. The official was reportedly irate, using foul language in his reprimand of the journalist. Despite later apologizing for his outburst, the request for the deletion of mass messages was not fulfilled. Top News also deleted its report about the "foul language."
The public's growing concern over issues such as school admission prices and exam standards has led to increased scrutiny of Zhengzhou's education system. The incident highlights the importance of addressing these concerns in a constructive manner, rather than resorting to aggressive behavior towards those seeking answers.
The apology offered by the education bureau may help alleviate some of the negative sentiment surrounding the incident; however, it remains to be seen whether this solution will effectively address longstanding problems within Zhengzhou's educational system.
As Zhengzhou continues to face criticism for its handling of various issues, it is crucial for local authorities to engage in open dialogue and work towards finding viable solutions that prioritize the well-being of its students and their families. Only then can the city begin to rebuild its reputation as a hub of education and progress.
