It is understood that some places in China prohibit teachers from engaging in WeChat business activities.
For example, on 20 17, the Education Bureau of Jinjiang City, Fujian Province issued a document prohibiting faculty from engaging in profit-making activities such as WeChat business, and requiring subordinate schools to start "self-examination and self-correction" and open a hotline for parents to report.
Article 15 of Chapter III of the Regulations on Direct Selling Management revised by 20 17 also clearly stipulates that in-service teachers shall not be recruited as direct sellers.
If a direct selling enterprise or its branches recruit direct sellers in violation of regulations, the administrative department for industry and commerce shall order them to make corrections and impose a fine of not less than 30,000 yuan but not more than 65,438+10,000 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, a fine of 654.38 million yuan but not more than 300,000 yuan shall be imposed, and the business license of the branch of the direct selling enterprise and the direct selling business license of the direct selling enterprise shall be revoked.
Those who engage in direct selling activities without obtaining a direct seller's certificate shall be ordered by the administrative department for industry and commerce to make corrections, confiscate direct selling products and illegal sales income, and may be fined up to 20,000 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, a fine of not less than 20,000 yuan but not more than 200,000 yuan shall be imposed.
In addition, it is stipulated in Article 4 of the Measures for Handling Teachers' Violation of Professional Ethics (revised 20 18) of the Ministry of Education that they violate teaching discipline, perfunctory teaching, or engage in part-time or part-time paid behaviors that affect their own education and teaching work without authorization; Solicit or accept property from students and their parents, or participate in banquets, tourism, entertainment and leisure activities paid by students and their parents, sell books, newspapers, teaching AIDS and social insurance to students, or use parents' resources for personal gain. , will be regarded as a violation of professional ethics. Depending on the circumstances, the teacher will be punished.
Can teachers who are not prepared engage in profit-making activities?
Some experts believe that for contract teachers, teaching is only for work, pay according to work, and participate in business activities outside normal work, and the competent authorities should not interfere too much.
However, according to Article 18 of the Interim Provisions on the Punishment of Staff in Institutions, teachers engage in and participate in profit-making activities in violation of state regulations.
Move, should be given different degrees of punishment according to the seriousness of the case.
