Suining No.2 Middle School resold at a low price, and the charges soared. The director of education made huge profits.
Zhang Ning (pseudonym), a citizen of Suining City, Sichuan Province, appointed two schools, suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School and Suining No.2 Middle School, in order to get the best education for his son who is about to enter junior high school. These two schools are experimental schools founded by two famous schools in Suining, suining middle school and Suining No.2 Middle School. Their hardware facilities and teaching quality are among the best in the city.
However, the high tuition fees discouraged Zhang Ning. The "Notes for the Registration of Freshmen in Junior High Schools with Three Years of 20 10" posted at the entrance of Suining No.2 Experimental School reads: "The tuition fee for junior high school students with three years of our school is 4,500 yuan per year, and our school gives preferential treatment to those who pay fees once in three years 1500 yuan, that is, once in three years 1200 yuan."
Suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School charges more, "13000 yuan, once every three years."
The Reply of Suining Municipal Price Bureau on Approving the Fees of Suizhong Foreign Language Experimental School and Suining No.2 Experimental School (hereinafter referred to as the Reply of Fees) issued on June 4 shows that the tuition fees of the above two schools have been approved by the price department. Moreover, the Charge Reply also wrote, "suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School and Suining No.2 Middle School are two private schools with independent legal personality invested by Suining Jingcheng Education Investment Co., Ltd."
"It is an experimental school founded by two public schools in suining middle school and Suining No.2 Middle School. Why did you suddenly become a private school? " A parent questioned.
China Youth Daily reporter found in the investigation that the legal representative of Suining Jingcheng Education Investment Co., Ltd. is Zhang Yongfu, director of Suining Education Bureau, and the general manager is Xu Yuquan, president of Suining No.2 Middle School.
A local insider in Suining told the reporter that suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School and Suining No.2 Middle School are not actually run by the people, and the teachers of the two schools are selected from their respective suining middle school and Suining No.2, and the salaries and benefits of the teachers in editing are still funded by the government. "To put it bluntly, it is' fake private', but some people make money under the banner of private."
"If you want your children to receive a better education, you must pay a high price."
On the afternoon of June 26th, a happy newspaper of Zhang greatly College Entrance Examination was posted at the entrance of Suining No.2 Middle School, which listed the excellent results of the national college entrance examination in 20 10. The reporter noted that the good news listed two schools, Suining No.2 Middle School and Suining No.2 Middle School Experimental School.
A staff member of the school told the reporter: "The results shown in the happy news were obtained by the headquarters and the experimental school. In fact, these two schools are one school and both belong to No.2 Middle School. "
The reporter noticed that the same good news was posted outside the school gate of Suining No.2 Middle School a few kilometers away.
A staff member of Suining No.2 Middle School also said: "No.2 Middle School and No.2 Middle School are actually a school. The difference is that Suining No.2 Middle School is an ordinary class and Suining No.2 Middle School is an experimental class. "
Although it is essentially the same school, compared with the ordinary class, the experimental class is much better in environmental facilities, teachers and preferential policies.
"The better teachers who used to teach in Suining No.2 Middle School have all been transferred to the experimental school, so if you want your children to receive a better education, you have to pay a high price to send them to the experimental school." Yi Gang (pseudonym), who once held an important position in the local education department, said.
At the same time, in order to expand the enrollment scale of experimental classes, the enrollment scale of ordinary classes is constantly compressed. Take Suining No.2 Middle School as an example. There are only 7 ordinary classes in Suining No.2 Middle School, while there are as many as 17 classes in Grade One in No.2 Experimental School.
In addition, in reality,
Students studying in the inspection school can also enjoy the preferential policy of exemption from junior high school graduation. Students in ordinary classes have to take the senior high school entrance examination. If the results of the senior high school entrance examination fail to meet the admission standards of the school, they have to pay a lot of school selection fees.
However, there is a big difference between the headquarters and the experimental school. Junior high school students can basically enjoy the national free compulsory education if they study in Suining No.2 Middle School, but if they study in Suining No.2 Experimental School, they need to pay 12000 yuan (before this fall) for six years (three years in junior high school and three years in senior high school).
The same situation also exists in suining middle school and the suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School founded by the school.
The predecessor of the reformists was "false private"
Yi Gang said that the reason why these two experimental schools can charge high tuition fees is because they have the background of "public and private" schools.
1998, the general office of the state Council forwarded the opinions of the Ministry of education on the pilot reform of the school-running system in compulsory education (hereinafter referred to as the opinions). The "Opinions" put forward that schools with weak foundations should be selected to carry out pilot reforms of school-running systems such as "civilian-run assistance" and "civilian-run assistance".
In 2004, the former suining middle school New Campus and the former Suining No.2 Middle School were approved by the Sichuan Provincial Department of Education to establish suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School and Suining No.2 Middle School, respectively, with Sichuan Education Letter [2004] 196 and Sichuan Education Letter [2004]19. The above two letters confirmed that these two schools are "reform experiments operating according to the mechanism of private schools".
After the completion of the restructuring, the school will "refer to the operation of private schools". The most obvious thing is that the fees are "in line" with private schools, and tuition fees have started to rise sharply.
However, the "public" status of these two experimental schools has been questioned by many local parents and people who care about education.
According to the information of Suining Municipal People's Government Network, suining middle school is divided into headquarters, east campus and north campus. According to a local person who used to work in the education department, suining middle school invested in the construction of suining middle school East Campus with the strong support of the local government in order to meet the application requirements when applying for a national model high school. Among the three campuses in suining middle school, the East Campus is the best in terms of building facilities, teaching environment and teaching hardware facilities. The campus was quickly renamed as suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School, which was called "private".
"These two schools have just built new campuses, and the start-up funds are only loans from banks with government guarantees, and the teachers are the same as the original headquarters, and the school leaders are still the original leaders. It' s just the signboard of' public benefit for the people', and the fees are much higher. Even the preferential policy of free tuition for compulsory education implemented by the state doesn' t work here. " Yi Gang said.
A local educator in Suining also said that it is difficult to find the shadow of "people helping" from these two experimental schools. The source of funds is either public schools using their own state-owned resources for loans, or high-priced "citizen assistance fees" charged to students, and there is very little real investment from the private sector. "Such a' public and private' school is actually a' fake private'.
A student's parents told reporters that studying in suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School for six years means paying a one-time tuition fee of 1.8 million yuan. A senior one student studying in this middle school told reporters: "This kind of charge is too expensive for ordinary working-class families in Suining. My parents are both working in enterprises, and the monthly salary adds up to more than 2,000 yuan. "
But as we all know, a privatization movement is still going on. In this context, the tuition fees for starting school this fall will further increase, and the increase has doubled.
The company with the director of education as its chairman bought the school.
Obviously, it's a public school. Just because it is put on the cloak of "operating according to the mechanism of private schools", it is charged according to the standards of private schools. In recent years, such a school-running model of collecting money in the name of "helping the poor" has been questioned by all parties.
In 2009, seven ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Education, jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on Standardizing Education Fees and Further Governing Education Fees" (Jiao Jian [2009] No.5), demanding: "Before the start of school in the fall of 2009, the clean-up and standardization of compulsory education reform schools will be completed in an all-round way, and it is planned to complete the clean-up and standardization of ordinary high school reform schools in about three years."
Since March this year, the news that suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School and Suining No.2 Middle School, which have the best school conditions in Suining, will be merged into private schools has begun to spread.
It is reported that suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School and Suining No.2 Middle School will be acquired by a large local enterprise, and the two experimental schools will be merged into a privatized private school, and the fees will be further increased.
At the same time, a post entitled "The Shocking Shadow Behind Suining Education Reform" began to circulate on the Internet. The post said, "The transfer price of suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School is less than 82 million yuan, while that of Suining No.2 Middle School is only over 50 million yuan. The land occupied by the two experimental schools is at least 65.438+0 billion yuan! Not including the great value of all kinds of software and hardware in two experimental schools! And the intangible and huge brand cultural value obtained by following the names of suining middle school and Suining No.2 Middle School! Behind this is a shocking conspiracy to illegally embezzle billions of state-owned assets! "
The rumors spread more and more, but the local education department in Suining did not explain the situation. However, the reply issued by Suining Municipal Price Bureau on June 3, 2065438+00 revealed the mystery, which wrote: "suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School and Suining No.2 Experimental School are two private schools with independent legal personality invested by Suining Jingcheng Education Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jingcheng Company)."
How can two experimental schools, which were originally "public and private", become private schools invested by Jingcheng Company? What is the background of Jingcheng Company?
On June 25th, the reporter inquired from the website of Sichuan Administration for Industry and Commerce that Jingcheng Company had a registered capital of 6,543,800,000 yuan and was incorporated in Suining Administration for Industry and Commerce on 2065.438+00,654.38+02, and its business scope was "investment in educational projects; Educational information consulting service ",the legal representative of the company is Zhang Yongfu.
According to Yuan Aijun, director of Suining Education Bureau Office, this Zhang Yongfu is Zhang Yongfu, the current director of Suining Education Bureau. He is the chairman of Jingcheng Company, and the general manager is Xu Yuquan, president of Suining No.2 Middle School.
These two schools were acquired by Jingcheng Company from public ownership. This process is completed quietly for the public, even for the students studying in suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School and Suining No.2 Middle School.
"The school was sold, but we didn't see any notice. It was after seeing the posts circulating on the Internet that we learned from the teachers of the school that the school was acquired by the company. " Several students studying in Suining No.2 Middle School told reporters. A teacher of suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School also said that the whole process was not discussed by the teachers' congress, let alone passed by voting.
However, Yuan Aijun said, "Jingcheng Company's acquisition of two experimental schools was passed and voted by the teachers' congress held in suining middle school and Suining No.2 Middle School. "
The local regulatory authorities responded that there was no loss of state-owned assets.
On June 12, Suining Supervision Bureau responded to the post "Shadows behind Suining's education reform": "The statement that' shocking conspiracy illegally embezzles billions of state-owned assets' is not true, and there is no problem of the loss of state-owned assets."
Yuan Aijun said that before Jingcheng Company acquired suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School and Suining No.2 Middle School, in June 2009, our city audited and evaluated the assets of the two experimental schools through Sichuan Zhongheng Anxin Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. and Sichuan Zhongxin Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. respectively. The evaluation results show that as of June 30, 2009, the two universities have eliminated debts of 65,438+0,065,438+0, 550 yuan, and their net assets are true. However, Suining Education Bureau did not provide relevant evaluation certification materials to reporters.
According to the statement issued by Suining Supervision Bureau, the total price of two experimental schools purchased by Jingcheng Company is 654.38+0.9945 million yuan. However, it is reported that the registered capital of Jingcheng Company is 6,543,800,000 yuan, with 5,000,000 yuan each lent by suining middle school and Suining No.2 Middle School.
Jiang Wen, head of the Legal Department of Suining Education Bureau, denied this. Jiang said that Jingcheng Company was jointly funded by Suining Xingye Asset Management Company and Suining Construction Engineering Company under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Suining City, and was incorporated in May of this year.
According to the enterprise information of the industrial and commercial department, Suining Xingye Asset Management Company was approved and registered in Suining Industrial and Commercial Bureau on February 28, 2007 with a registered capital of 300 million yuan. The enterprise type is owned by the whole people, and its legal representative is Zhou, sasac director, Suining City. Suining Dida Construction Engineering Company was registered in Suining Industrial and Commercial Bureau on June 24, 2008 with a registered capital of 6,654,380,000 yuan. The enterprise type is collective ownership, and the legal representative is Duan Jun, director of the Work-study Program Office of Suining Education Bureau.
Yuan Aijun said that Jingcheng Company is a state-owned holding company, and the two experimental schools are still state-owned assets of the government after being acquired. However, the enterprise information inquired by the reporter from the website of Sichuan Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce shows that the enterprise type of Jingcheng Company is "limited liability company (natural person investment or holding)". Article 9 of the Regulation on Classification of Enterprise Registration Types issued by the National Bureau of Statistics and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (1August 28, 1998, Zi [1998] No.200) stipulates: "Private enterprises refer to profit-making economic organizations based on paid labor, which are established by natural persons or controlled by natural persons."
"Even if the Beijing company is really a state-owned holding company, then the first two schools are state-owned, and the company that bought the school is also state-owned. This is almost a process of' left hand for right hand'. How can we say' private'?" A local educator in Suining questioned.
Yuan Aijun's response to this is: "Although the enterprise that acquired the school is a state-controlled enterprise, the funds used are non-state financial funds, which are legal and reasonable."
Article 2 of the Law on the Promotion of Private Education in People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that this law shall be applicable to social organizations or individuals other than state institutions who use non-state financial funds to organize activities of schools and other educational institutions facing the society. At the same time, China's "Outline of Education Reform and Development" has a clear definition of "state financial funds": state financial education funds include funds allocated to education by governments at all levels, urban and rural education surcharges, funds used by enterprises to set up primary and secondary schools, tax reduction and exemption for school-run industries, etc.
A person who once worked in Suining Education Department analyzed that the salaries of national teachers obviously belong to the state financial expenditure, and a considerable number of teachers in the two experimental schools that have been acquired are public teachers transferred from suining middle school and Suining No.2 Middle School.
Yuan Aijun admits that there are only 3 14 self-employed teachers in suining middle school Foreign Language Experimental School and Suining No.2 Middle School, and most of them are public teachers transferred from suining middle school and Suining No.2 Middle School. (Tian) according to
