Zhang Yumeng, chairman of the Youth League of China, said that according to the "Notes on Teachers' Guidance and Disciplinary Measures for Schools" revised by the Ministry of Education last year, schools must have "reasonable suspicion" and "record the whole process" when searching personal belongings or conducting security checks. Fucheng The high school did not record video according to the regulations, and the range of reasonable doubts of the Fucheng High School Student Assistant Team Leader is obviously too large. These are not in line with the Ministry of Education's regulations.

The Youth League calls on the Education Bureau of Kaohsiung City to carefully handle the search incident at Fucheng High School. After a preliminary investigation by the Youth League, the students searched are not isolated cases. The head of the student assistant team has used this method for discipline for a long time.

The Education Bureau should immediately ask the school to stop illegal actions, and supervise the school to discuss rationally with student representatives about the management of mobile phones.

Zhang Yumeng said that the student union of Fucheng High School once wanted to make a proposal in the school affairs meeting, hoping to open some mobile phones to use, but the school thought that "if students are allowed to use mobile phones at school, it will easily lead to sneak shooting incidents, and it may also allow some students I was isolated and the order of the classroom was affected." Denied, these reasons are difficult for students to accept, and if a student questions the violation, the staff of the Academic Affairs Office will directly call the parents and say that the student "has no tutor" and "has a bad personality."

Zhang Yumeng conveyed the thoughts of the Fucheng High School Student Union and the majority of students. Recently, the director of Fengyuan High School suspected of framing a student, which led to the regret that the student ended his life. He should not suspect and search students' belongings at will.
