Does the announcement of students' grades infringe on students' privacy?

At present, Shanghai has proposed legislation to prohibit the publication of scores to reduce the pressure on students. Its "Regulations on the Protection of Minors in Shanghai (Revised Draft)" adds a provision that "students' examination results shall not be published". From a legal point of view, is it legal for the school to announce the ranking of students' grades? Does it infringe on students' right to privacy? Everyone has his own views and opinions on this issue.

Many students don't like to publish the results ranking, and feel that they can't escape the embarrassment of the results ranking when they are graduate students. They believe that students should have the right to decide whether to publish their grades, whether to publish their grades to unspecified people, and should not publish them without their consent. Some students also think that from the school's point of view, publishing scores means publishing scholarships, but the scope of publication should be among the announced students, not the whole school. Some students even analyzed the nature of the right to privacy, thinking that the right to privacy is an important right of people, and students can't publish their grades casually, which really infringes on the right to privacy of students.

Of course, some students think that it is not illegal. Although it is reasonable or not, it is not illegal as long as it does not cause adverse effects or damage the reputation of the parties. Schools should publish the rankings, because the survival of the fittest exists in the society itself, and we should learn to survive in the competition and dare to face the reality.

Privacy is unwanted information in private life, also known as life secret. Privacy is the right of natural persons to control their privacy, that is, the right to maintain the privacy of private life, including the right to control personal information and life information and the right to keep it confidential. In China, the right to privacy is indirectly protected. For example, although personal privacy is not clearly defined as a right in the General Principles of Civil Law, as a civil right of citizens, it should be protected by law. However, at present, there are differences on whether some information belongs to other people's private information, such as students' exam results. Although the publication of grades can objectively motivate students to study hard, it causes great psychological pressure on students. Especially the students with poor grades, they obviously don't want others to know. Announcing the results will do some harm to their spirit. Whether the students' grades are published or not should be examined and approved by the students themselves. If students don't want to publish, they shouldn't publish. Of course, in order to supervise or increase transparency, it can be stipulated that others can ask to know their own achievements under certain conditions, which should be reasonable and legal.

At the same time, individual rights are bound to be restricted by public interests. It is of great significance to the interests of the obligee to carry out some appraisal based on the results, so it should be published in the principle of fairness and openness. In addition, students have the right to give up privacy protection. If they agree to publish, they can publish the results of these students, even if it is an incomplete report card.
