Can Government Centralized Procurement Curb The Corruption Of School Uniform?

Recently, the Changchun municipal government procurement center was commissioned by the Municipal Education Bureau for the first time to incorporate school uniform procurement into the scope of government procurement. Officials say the aim is to completely eliminate the "school uniform corruption". This practice in Changchun has produced a great response in society. Some people think that although this solution can not fundamentally solve the problem, it has opened up a prelude to eradicate all kinds of corruption on campus. Some people think that the impartiality of the surface is difficult to solve the problem fundamentally, and the "school uniform corruption" will remain a difficult task in the future.

For a lot of money, why can't you wear a good heart? School uniform

"The school uniforms that the primary and middle school students wear on TV are so handsome, but in reality, why are our school uniforms so lack of beauty? Some even men and women do not." As soon as he talked about his school uniform, Liu Lili (the pseudonym) in the first grade of junior high school was obviously dislike. She thinks that her school uniform is like the work clothes of the 70s and 80s of last century, it has no vitality, and it is very easy to take static electricity and recruit dust.

The color is old-fashioned, the style is outdated, and it does not show aesthetic feeling and bad quality in wearing. This is the problem that students reflect most on their uniforms. However, some parents believe that some school uniforms still have a high price, which is out of proportion to the cost of school uniforms. Wang Sirui, a pupil's parents, said that his children's school uniforms seemed to have some helplessness: "a suit of nearly 100 Yuan school clothes and clothes bags were washed by a washing machine, and the children even lost their keys in their pockets."

In a school uniform exhibition held in Changchun in August this year, faced with various styles of school uniforms, many visiting primary and middle school students exclaimed "really beautiful". A middle school girl wearing a school uniform once asked the reporter, as she looked at the sample clothes, pointing to her dress. "Is it not my face, or is there something wrong with the clothes on me? Why do I always feel grey in my clothes?"

With a lot of money, why can't you wear it? School uniform A random survey conducted by a reporter in front of a middle school in Changchun showed that 13 out of 20 secondary schools were not satisfied with their uniforms, 3 felt that they could do it and 4 did not. Most students feel that their school uniforms are relatively restrained and uncomfortable. Some people feel that they are growing faster. The school uniform bought today is just right, and it is small in a few days.

Because Changchun is located in the northeast, most school uniforms are naturally divided into spring and autumn clothing, summer wear and sportswear. Some schools require students to buy school uniforms that are suitable for schools during the period of school. This has cost a lot, and many students and parents are complaining. In order to save trouble, some schools simply stipulate that students wear only one sportswear as uniforms all year round, so that although they reduce many school uniform fees, they also attract a "dissatisfied" voice. The government procurement is to eliminate the "school uniform corruption".

Statistics show that at present, each family in Changchun spends an average of more than 600 yuan on their children's school uniforms, and the school uniforms market does contain unlimited business opportunities. A person familiar with the education said that for a long time, the production of school uniforms in schools was mostly related to schools and garment factories. The education department only stipulated the style, did not stipulate the price range, and the student's high price was unavoidable.

At present, almost every school in 589 primary and secondary schools in Changchun has uniforms. Statistics from the education department last year showed that there were about 970 thousand primary and secondary school students in the urban area of Changchun, about 150 thousand new students each year, and the demand for new school uniforms was about 150 thousand. If you spend 100 yuan per person on the basis of the annual purchase of school uniforms, Changchun will have to spend 15 million yuan.

"This number is huge, and the purchase of school uniforms by schools is easy to breed corruption problems." An official of Changchun Education Bureau said. In order to ensure the quality and low price of school uniforms and reduce the financial burden of parents, the Changchun municipal government procurement center was commissioned by the Municipal Education Bureau this year to put students in the city's primary and secondary schools into the category of government procurement for the first time. In mid September, the Changchun municipal government procurement center published information on public tenders in the designated media such as China Financial Daily and China government procurement network. In order to expand the scope of procurement and improve the quality of suppliers, they also notified more than 100 enterprises in China by telephone. Of the 16 garment enterprises that were ultimately bidding, there were 8 provinces and 8 enterprises in the province. It is understood that the tendering of students in Changchun is divided into secondary school students and primary school students. Each year is divided into Chunqiu series, summer wear series and sportswear series. The military training uniforms of middle school students are divided into a series, and each series is divided into three grades: high, medium and low. According to different series, Changchun has also made different restrictions on the price of school uniforms, for example, pupils' spring and autumn wear three sets of high-end sets of 120-150 yuan, 85 yuan -120 yuan per set, and 85 yuan lower. According to the regulations, the primary and secondary schools in Changchun will be required to make school uniforms in the future. In terms of the quality of students' clothing, the Changchun municipal government procurement center stipulates that the cotton content of the product must exceed 65%.

To ensure fairness, the Changchun municipal government procurement center will divide the tender into two standards. One is the business standard, including the test of the competitive strength of the production equipment, technical personnel, service commitment, enterprise registered capital, whether through the ISO9000 series quality system certification and so on. One is the technical standard, which is the test of the technical strength of the garment sample, such as the style, the workmanship, the fabric texture and the price of the garment. The bid evaluation experts are randomly selected by the on-site bidding enterprises through the microcomputer system. The sample of the appraisal is all sealed and opened in the bidding room, and the bid evaluation experts simply don't know which kind of production is produced by the enterprise. The final result of the bid evaluation is based on the comprehensive score of the two criteria, so as to minimize the human factors in the bid evaluation process.

Can government procurement put an end to "school uniform corruption"?

Can government centralized procurement really put an end to the "corruption in school uniform"? Many people hold different views on this question.

Wang Shiping, Changchun citizen:

This approach may not solve the problem in the short term, but at least provides a way to solve the problem. In any case, government procurement can, to a certain extent, eliminate the problems of profiteering, unfair competition and so on, which will also give students and parents a certain degree of spanparency.

Zhang Yunxin, Changchun citizen:

Although government procurement has limited the final admission of uniforms to more than a dozen, in these enterprises, schools still have their own choices. What kind of price and style will ultimately be the school's final say? Parents and students still have difficulty in expressing their opinions. It is still difficult to ensure that there will be no clothing with high quality and high price.

Some people in the industry believe that government procurement standardizes market behavior from a higher level and provides a fair competition for enterprises.

Jiang Wenzhao, manager of marketing department, Guangdong Li Ning Co:

The student wear is conducive to enhancing the collectivism spirit of students. Students' clothing is also a reflection of the school's cultural level and cultural details. It affects students' aesthetic and cultural taste in a subtle way. Government procurement can provide fair competition opportunities for enterprises, and help standardize the procurement market and improve product quality. It can enable enterprises to put more energy and financial resources into improving product quality, meeting students' psychological and physiological needs, and contributing more to the reform and innovation of student clothes.

　　 Changchun City Liu Qingen, deputy director of the government procurement center,

Through tendering, the quality of students' clothing will have a comprehensive rise and the price will also drop. Only by market operation can enterprises ensure the quality and low price of students through standardized competition and tendering.

It is understood that the tender work in Changchun has attracted many domestic enterprises. Such as Guangdong Lining Sports Development Co., Ltd., Zhejiang George White Limited by Share Ltd, Fujian Jinjiang Hayes clothing manufacturing Co., Ltd. Georges white has been preparing for the tender for more than two months, with only more than 20 thousand investment in design and production, and two designs of 51 samples. The person in charge of the enterprise believes that the implementation of government procurement is the trend of future student loading market. At present, who can enter the government procurement market first, who will take the lead in this fierce market competition.
