(ECNS) -- College students who lose creditability might be dismissed, according to a draft amendment issued by the Ministry of Education on Tuesday.
The amendment on student creditability education was first adopted into the guidelines for colleges. It urged colleges to carry out creditability education and establish creditability records.
Colleges have been urged to ensure that students who run into credibility problems are dealt with accordingly, "from giving disciplinary warnings to dismissal."
Bad credibility includes cheating on exams, plagiarism and failure to repay student loans, a Xinhua report said.
But students should be informed before punishment, as a way to protect their rights, according to the amendment.
The amendment also highlighted entrepreneurship and innovation.
