Real position, real salary, using fake degree makes it difficult to resign

Relying on the honesty and self-awareness of officials using fake degrees but real positions, real power, real benefits, seems to be just a dream.

At the Hanoi Party Committee meeting on October 13, Mr. Tran Quang Canh, Chairman of the City Party Committee's Inspection Committee, called for: Anyone with fake degrees to urgently report to the Organizing Committee, the Inspection Committee, withdraw, or even resign.

Thus, the aftershocks from the spirit of the 6th Central Conference have spread, positively impacting party organizations at all levels. Hanoi openly announced to the public that there is a problem of fake degrees within the Party, with evidence, but first of all, it encourages the spirit of honesty, self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-correction.

Public opinion was excited, but also skeptical. People waited to see if, after the call of the Chairman of the City Party Committee's Inspection Committee, anyone who had "accidentally gotten involved" in using a fake diploma would voluntarily report to the organization and then deal with it themselves.

It seems very difficult, too difficult.

The story of officials and party members using fake degrees to advance themselves, seek real positions, real power, and real benefits has long been no longer a rare phenomenon, not only in Hanoi.

It has been a long time since the party organization promoted the spirit of criticism, self-criticism, self-reflection, and self-correction. But looking back, there has been almost no case of proactively and voluntarily reporting to the organization to receive disciplinary action.

In many cases, people are accused of using fake degrees, with clear evidence, but either the organization finds it "difficult to verify" and ignores it, or the subject tries to cover up, evade, or deny. It is not uncommon for cases, with two years of clear evidence, to still insist on being innocent and denying the crime.

Those who use fake degrees in the Party and State apparatus are morally shameless and have no sense of shame. Legally, they do not care, even though they know that using fake documents is a violation of the law. Regarding the duties and responsibilities of civil servants and public employees, with the spirit of upholding honesty, they do not consider that concept to exist.

People who dare to use fake degrees, no matter how high their position, cannot be decent people, it is difficult to be decent people. Furthermore, those who use fake degrees to infiltrate the Party and State apparatus to seek advancement, they all have clear motives and paths, they do not hesitate to "invest" to achieve their goals. When they have a position, they create relationships, strengthen their interest groups, and continue to climb to higher positions. At that time, it is difficult to "expose" them. It is also not easy to call on them to voluntarily declare, "retreat", or "resign".

In addition to fake degrees, there are also real degrees but fake knowledge. In party and state agencies, there are many people with many university degrees, master's degrees, and doctorates, many of which are real degrees, real education, and real ability. But there are also many cases where real degrees are fake, studying by "beating the drum to write down your name", "studying from a teacher and taking a test in a small group", studying for someone else, taking a test for hire. As a result, there are many degrees, high degrees, but knowledge and ability are not commensurate. Such people are prone to fame-seeking, power-hungry, and enthusiastically promote degreeism. At the same time, they show discrimination against real education, jealousy of talented people, and hinder innovation and creativity.

Purifying the cadres, removing from the system those who use fake degrees, is difficult, but not difficult. Difficult, is easy to withstand pressure and material bribes. Not difficult, because for a long time, society has shown contempt and hatred for those who use fake degrees. Not difficult, because those who use fake degrees do not have classmates, and are easily denounced. Just go to the place that issued the degree, compare the original records, the fake is obvious.

With evidence, the Chairman of the City Party Committee's Inspection Committee should, according to the correct procedure, handle it immediately. Relying on the honesty and self-awareness of officials who use fake degrees but have real positions, real power, and real benefits seems difficult, it's like a dream.
