Taking the payment of outstanding performance wages and other payments as an excuse, teachers in disguise are required to make deposits into shares.
After investigation, the Dafang County Education and Technology Bureau, through conference deployment and other forms, requires teachers to deposit funds not less than the delinquent 2019 performance salary and 2.5 times the 13th month salary to participate in the supply and marketing credit of Dafang County Wumeng initiated by the local government. Cooperative Business Services Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Wumeng Xinhe Company"), as a precondition for the payment of outstanding performance wages and other payments.
The controlling shareholder of Wumeng Xinhe Company is the Finance Bureau of Dafang County. It avoids legal risks and industry supervision by adjusting the equity structure and highlighting the promotion of "supply and marketing credit cooperation". It does not have any financial license and does not have the qualifications to carry out equity services. In violation of regulations, the so-called "member share funds" service business was carried out, and teachers' deposits were taken in disguised form and promised to pay high interest rates of 9.8%-12.8%.
As of the time of the inspection, only 4 of the 28 towns and townships in the county had completed their deposit tasks. The Dafang County Education and Technology Bureau compiled the list and handed it to Wumeng Xinhe Company to issue the arrears. The teachers in the other 24 towns and townships had not yet received the deposit. To performance pay and other payments.
At the same time, the 25.75 million yuan of living allowance owed by local teachers from April 2018 to December 2019 was also deposited by the Dafang County Education and Technology Bureau into Wumeng Xinhe Company, and the withdrawal cards handled were detained at the township education management centers. , Has not been issued to teachers normally.
The channel for distributing subsidies for students in difficulties was changed, and underage students were forced to join the society to buy shares, resulting in more than 2.1 million yuan in subsidies for students in difficulties being intercepted in violation of regulations.
After investigation, Dafang County changed the original distribution channels of living allowances for students with financial difficulties, and issued living allowances for students in difficulties during the spring semester of 2020 and high school through Wumeng Xinhe Company, involving more than 42,000 students in difficulties.
As of August 20, 2020, Wumeng Xinhe Company has a total of 75,600 employees, of which 56% are underage members under 18, mainly primary and middle school students who have been passively joined as "shareholders" due to the payment of difficult subsidies.
At the same time, Wumeng Xinhe Company also directly deducted 50 yuan per student as the qualification share fund for the membership in the name of providing member stock services, resulting in more than 2.1 million yuan of subsidy for students in difficulties being intercepted in violation of regulations.
The above behavior violated the "Notice on Further Regulating the Living Subsidies for Students from Families with Financial Difficulties in the Compulsory Education Stage" of the General Office of the Ministry of Education, which stated that "All localities shall directly issue the subsidy funds to the bank cards of the students themselves or their guardians, and resolutely prevent detention, seizure, embezzlement and misappropriation obligations. "Living subsidies for students from families with financial difficulties at the educational stage" and other requirements.
In the name of advancing the reform of supply and marketing cooperatives, the fact that the so-called supply and marketing cooperative company was initiated and established as a financing turnaround seriously deviated from the purpose of "serving agriculture, rural areas and farmers".
After investigation, in June 2019, the Dafang County Party Committee and the County Government initiated the establishment of Wumeng Xinhe Company in the name of promoting the reform of local supply and marketing cooperatives, and carried out the so-called "member share fund" service business in violation of regulations.
Wumeng Xinhe Company not only cooperated with the local education department to compel teachers and other public officials to make deposits into shares in disguised form, and illegally absorbed underage students into the society, but also illegally adjusted the use of company funds, which seriously violated the business scope of the company’s registration and deviated from the "Service Three The purpose of "agriculture" is to transfer almost all the funds collected for deposits to areas that have nothing to do with "agriculture, rural areas and farmers".
Among them, 98.6% of the funds were transferred to financing platform companies under the Dafang County Government, which became the "working capital pool" of the Dafang County Government's finances, and less than 1% of the funds were directly transferred to farmers.
The above behavior violates the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Deepening the Comprehensive Reform of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives" that "adhere to the fundamental purpose of serving farmers, and always regard serving'three rural' as the foundation and foundation of survival for supply and marketing cooperatives, and the effectiveness of serving farmers As the primary criterion for measuring work, we must meet the requirements of "for farming, farming, and farming".
In recent years, the Party Central Committee and the State Council have successively introduced a series of policies and measures that require strengthening the construction of the teaching staff, continuously improving teacher salaries, improving the teacher salary guarantee mechanism, and achieving steady growth in teacher salaries.
Judging from the supervision situation, Dafang County has been in arrears of teachers’ salary subsidies for a long time, and illegally embezzled and misappropriated education funds, seriously infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of teachers and affecting the stability of the teaching team.
This reveals that the local government has not resolutely implemented the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, its understanding is not in place, its measures are ineffective, its implementation has been biased, and its actions have been compromised.
Especially in the current situation of doing a good job of "six stability" and fulfilling the tasks of "six guarantees", Dafang County still does its own thing, and does not put the protection of teachers' salaries in an important position, the financial management system is in vain, and financial violations frequently occur. Inaction, slowness, and chaos in work have seriously damaged the credibility of the party and the government.
All regions and departments should take warning from the problems found in the supervision, draw inferences from one another, resolutely implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, fully implement the education priority development strategy, give priority to education in terms of financial investment, and adjust and optimize financial education expenditures Structure and give full play to the use of educational funds.

The Guizhou Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government attached great importance to the problem of teachers’ wage arrears discovered by the supervision and ordered Dafang County to conduct serious inspections and rectifications, immediately correct violations and be held accountable, and at the same time draw inferences from one another to conduct a comprehensive inventory of similar issues.
The State Council Inspection Office will closely follow the progress of relevant work and urge and promote the rectification of problems.
