Nowadays, many training schools falsely exaggerate or even falsely publicize in competitions. And "the postgraduate entrance examination is like cutting leeks, cutting one crop after another."

According to the news, some social organizations cheat students and gain illegitimate interests in the name of so-called postgraduate counseling. Some even have no school license procedures, and some so-called remedial classes are unscrupulous and vicious competition. Chen Wendeng, a professor at the Central University of Finance and Economics, summed up the current chaotic state of the postgraduate training market and the cheating tricks of some training schools. The research friends opened their eyes wide!

One: vague and exaggerated words

Obviously, it is a postgraduate training institution approved by the Social Education Department of the District Education Bureau, but its own publicity materials clearly state: "Approved by the Ministry of Education." Other schools, in the publicity materials, arbitrarily advance the start time of running a school by several years, exaggerating the history and achievements of running a school.

Two: the data is untrue, deceiving candidates.

Some training schools declare in the enrollment brochures that "the passing rate is close to 100%" or "the number of people who pass the postgraduate entrance examination is the highest in the country". Professor Chen Wendeng thinks these figures are not credible: "To calculate the passing rate, you need to know all the students' postgraduate entrance examination results, but training schools that only provide short-term counseling simply can't do it. Because many low-scoring candidates are unwilling to tell their scores. "

Moreover, some training institutions often tamper with the data used in advertisements. For example, the pass rate of one-year postgraduate entrance examination promoted by a school is over 70% in the first year, over 80% in the second year, and over 90% in the third year.

Three: operating without a license, tax evasion

Professor Chen Wendeng found that some postgraduate training institutions in Beijing are still operating without a license. In this way, they not only avoid the capital verification by the education department, but also do not have to pay taxes. This phenomenon is also common in other provinces and cities. In formal training schools, there are also many cases of tax evasion.

Four: make excuses and charge high fees.

In recent years, some schools have launched so-called excellent classes and implemented the diamond card, gold card and silver card system. The fees for such excellent courses are much higher than those for ordinary training courses, which cost several thousand yuan or even ten thousand yuan.

In order to attract students to buy these cards, the training school will sign an internal agreement with the candidates to stipulate the responsibilities and obligations of both parties. Even in some agreements, it is clearly stated that the training school will ensure that the candidates pass the preliminary examination and even be admitted to the graduate school after paying the fees. Of course, the premise of signing this agreement is to pay a high fee, as high as 65,438+10,000 yuan. The training school's explanation of this fee is used to open the entry threshold for schools and teachers.

Five: abuse rumors and attack the other teacher.

"Teacher XX is not skilled in business, misleading other people's children" and "Teacher XX exists in name only, harming others and not benefiting themselves". These contents appear on the leaflets distributed on the street, which are fabricated words used by some training institutions to attack and vilify competitors. Chen Wendeng once saw the rumor advertisement: "Chen Wendeng is 85 years old, with white hair, teeth falling off and stumbling". After a while, the advertisement "Chen Wendeng is bedridden" appeared again.

There are also some schools that instruct people to publish false news in various postgraduate forums, and even personally attack and abuse some teachers.

Six: Exaggerate and beautify the teacher.

In the enrollment propaganda, a lecturer is called "the father of calculus" and "the father of advanced mathematics", a teacher with the title of associate professor is written as a professor, an ordinary university professor is promoted to the head of the department, and even enjoys the honor of State Council allowance. This kind of exaggeration and beautification of teachers is everywhere in the current postgraduate training and publicity.

In the publicity materials of a training school, a teacher described it like this: "1985-2006 54 38+0, head of a math proposition group for postgraduate entrance examination." In fact, starting from China 1987, the national unified examination for postgraduate mathematics subjects began.

Seven: Use the media to "paint powder"

This "powder" is "reputation". Reputation is very important for postgraduate training schools. Schools with multiple honors look more credible, and it is easier to gain the trust of candidates, so as to stand out from the fierce competition and occupy a larger market. However, it is not easy to win honor by strength, and some training schools have used their brains in other aspects.

Some organizations have lobbied Chen Wendeng to select excellent private training institutions and hold commendation meetings in the Great Hall of the People or Diaoyutai, but only if an evaluation fee of more than 4,000 yuan is paid.

Eight: bet on the question and guess the question, boasting about the hit rate.

In the morning of 2006, just after the postgraduate political examination, in the afternoon, a school put out a well-made large-scale advertisement, "Warmly cheering Professor XX of our school for winning five political questions". The same is true in 2007, except that the name of the professor changed and the number of hits increased. Chen Wendeng pointed out rudely: "In just a few hours, it is difficult for them to get the test paper. Even if they get the test paper, they can count how many questions they have won, and such a big advertisement can't be printed. Unless they have printed it before the exam. "

Nine: Recruit thugs and seize the market by force.

It is no longer news that there is a big fight between postgraduate training institutions for students. A few years ago, in order to control the postgraduate training market, a school fought with thugs, resulting in a vicious incident of one death, one serious injury and one minor injury. However, this phenomenon did not end because the parties were sentenced.

Due to the concentration of colleges and universities in Beijing, the competition in the postgraduate training market is the fiercest, and similar situations generally exist in other provinces and cities. In 2006 and 2007, there were public fights between postgraduate counseling institutions in Qingdao, Xi, Wuhan and Nanjing, and even class fights. These behaviors seriously interfere with the reputation of the postgraduate training market and the normal competition order.

Ten: stick+trap, squeeze the teacher

Many postgraduate training schools promised a lot of money in order to recruit powerful and influential teachers, but they broke the contract by various improper means after class.

Some training schools with a strong sense of "Jianghu" even threatened teachers by force, and some even set money and pornography traps for teachers to lure them into taking the bait, and then refused to pay teachers on the grounds that they had evidence in their hands. (Editor: Yang Yang)
