The reason why it is difficult for training institutions to refund fees frequently is that training institutions all adopt prepaid consumption patterns. Parents pay in advance for one year, but in a long period, the teaching quality of training institutions is difficult to guarantee, which will lead to contradictions.
In view of the phenomenon that it is difficult for some training institutions to refund fees or even run away with money, the Opinions on Standardizing the Development of Off-campus Training Institutions issued by the General Office of the State Council in August 2065438+2008 clearly stipulates that training institutions should coordinate the charging time and teaching arrangements, and the one-time charging shall not exceed three months.
However, Xiong Bingqi bluntly said that implementation in practice is not good. For example, some training institutions will sign several agreements in a short time to avoid it, and each agreement will cost no more than three months. There are also many training institutions, ostensibly implementing policies, but actually "recommending" parents to pay annual fees at preferential prices.
On the weekend of the rule of law, when a reporter asked about the payment as a parent, a teacher from Wang Xing, the 542nd branch of Yousheng Education (Asian Games Village Campus) told the reporter that if the one-on-one English course only costs three months, it will vary from 250 yuan to 300 yuan every hour. If you pay the fee annually, it can reach 204 yuan per hour in two years.
"When parents register their children, they must understand the qualifications and teaching quality of the organization, and don't be influenced by marketing words, and choose rationally." Xiong Bingqi suggested that local education departments should also strengthen cooperation with the financial sector.
Explore the establishment of a special account for tuition and miscellaneous fees, strictly control the minimum balance of the account and the flow of large funds, and strengthen the supervision of training institutions. The charging items and standards of training institutions shall be publicized to the public and subject to the supervision of relevant departments.
We can also encourage the establishment of a third-party account supervision mechanism to reduce the consumption risks of students and parents and protect their legitimate rights and interests through comprehensive policies.
