Chinese teen math prodigy disqualified for cheating in competition

Jiang Ping, a vocational school student from China, was disqualified from a prestigious mathematics competition after officials found she received help from her teacher during the preliminary round. This revelation has raised concerns about academic integrity in China's education system. Initially celebrated for her performance, Jiang had become the first vocational student to reach the finals of the competition. However, doubts about her abilities led fellow finalists to request an investigation, prompting the organizers to exclude her and her teacher from the final results. The competition's organizers acknowledged flaws in their supervision and apologized for the incident. While Jiang has faced criticism, some social media users argue that her school and teacher should be held more accountable for the cheating.
