Chinese schools to teach 'honest government' (Agencies) Updated: 2004-11-19 16:49
Schools in one Chinese county have taken a national anti-corruption campaign
into the classroom, teaching lessons in "honest government" after class
elections were marred by bribery.
Student candidates at junior high schools in Haiyan County in Zhejiang
province, south of Shanghai, were caught offering voters free lunches and other
gifts, the Beijing Times said.
Starting next month, the county's 50,000 junior high school students will
receive lessons in "honest government," the newspaper said, citing a local
school official, Wang Guoyi.
The scandal broke amid a marathon anti-corruption crackdown in which
thousands of government and Communist Party officials have been punished for
bribery, embezzlement and other abuses.
