A former principal of a government-aided primary school, Chen Yi-hsin, pleaded guilty to fraud involving over $270,000, admitting to making false claims about not receiving salary payments and being authorized to withdraw funds for school activities. His deceit led the school to issue duplicate salary payments and grant him additional funds under false pretenses. The case, which was adjourned for sentencing, underscores the responsibilities of school leaders to uphold integrity and the importance of rigorous oversight in educational institutions.
