BEIJING, April 29 (Xinhua) -- Chinese lawmakers on Thursday passed a revision to the Education Law, aimed at ensuring fairness in education by mandating tougher punishment for those who steal the identity of others to enroll in a school or college.
Impostors will have their admission qualifications revoked and slapped with a ban from relevant national examinations for two to five years, according to the revised law, which was approved at the 28th standing committee session of the 13th National People's Congress.
The revised law stipulates that academic diplomas of impostors will be revoked and those holding public office will be dismissed. Criminal activities will receive criminal punishments.
The revised law will take effect on April 30, 2021. Enditem
