China’s Ministry of Education has announced a new set of guidelines aimed at tightening standards of teacher behavior in schools across the country. The pledge, unveiled in a recent press conference, calls for educators to uphold professional ethics, avoid misconduct, and serve as moral exemplars for students. Officials say the measures will include stricter oversight, mandatory training on classroom conduct, and a transparent reporting system for violations. The move comes amid growing public concern over incidents of abuse and corruption in the education sector, and the ministry says it will enforce penalties ranging from reprimands to dismissal for those who breach the code.
