Our reporter intern zhong
Reasons for concern:
In order to recruit more students, some college entrance examination repeat training schools in Fuzhou attract some teachers and social institutions to recommend failed students to them with high kickbacks. Teachers don't care about the quality of repeat schools in order to get kickbacks. As a result, some students were dragged into unlicensed training schools.
This phenomenon of high kickbacks in the enrollment of repeat schools has become a hidden rule in the industry, but it has not been paid attention to by relevant authorities and has become a regulatory blank.
Introduce more than 30 people, each with a commission of 3 thousand
Yesterday, the reporter found on the Internet that a number of training institutions posted advertisements for recruitment agents in Fuzhou online, including many re-reading training institutions. A repeat training institution in Fuzhou claimed: "Those who have high school resources will be given priority in recruiting enrollment agents, and the salary will be negotiable." The reporter dialed the phone number of the person in charge left by the advertisement and said that he was a senior three teacher in a suburb of Fuzhou. He has the resources of candidates who failed in the third year of high school and can introduce students to repeat their studies in the past. The person in charge was very happy to hear this, claiming that "those who introduce more than 30 people will get a commission of 3,000 yuan each, and those who introduce 20 to 30 people will get a commission of 1.500 yuan". He said that as long as the student 15 days did not drop out of school, the commission could be cashed. "But if the student drops out of school within 15 days, the commission for introducing the student will be cancelled." In order to reassure reporters, he also said that a teacher introduced students to repeat their studies and would give the introducer a commission after the start of school.
In another repeat training institution, the enrollment teacher also told reporters that if students are recommended, there will be an appropriate commission.
The "Enrollment Company" specializes in enrolling students.
"Someone once called and said that he was a middle school teacher and had student resources in his hand. After introducing him to re-reading, he has to get a kickback. " Yesterday, the person in charge of a training institution in Fuzhou told reporters that teachers who take the initiative to recommend students often meet with training institutions. "Some openings are that each student recruits hundreds of thousands of commissions."
The person in charge said that the teachers who introduced students on their own initiative were mainly middle school teachers or teachers from ordinary schools who taught in some counties. Because the income from various make-up classes is not much, individual teachers will want to make money by introducing students. He said that in art training institutions, almost all art teachers from all over the province introduced students to participate in the training.
This kind of enrollment agent exists not only in repeat training institutions, but also in some self-taught training courses and private schools, and some of them have signed agreements on enrollment as agents. This phenomenon has also spawned companies that help educational institutions find enrollment agents. A company in Jinshan, Fuzhou advertises for an enrollment agent. After the reporter contacted, I learned that it is not their company that wants to find an enrollment agent, but to help major universities take self-study training courses. Each enrollment agent is calculated according to the number of students enrolled, with each student ranging from 400 to 600 yuan.
There is also a special website for enrollment agents to build a platform for enrollment agents and educational institutions.
Repeat for one year, 1.38 million, and the enrollment agent took away 3000.
"Teachers have student resources, which is very tempting for training institutions. If the enrollment of training institutions is not ideal, they will be willing to cooperate with teachers. "The person in charge of a training institution said that as long as the interest share is reasonable, it is easy for both parties to reach a cooperation intention.
A training institution in Fuzhou hired an enrollment agent on its website, claiming that the annual tuition fee for repeat students is 1380 yuan. After deducting the cost of the venue and teachers, each student can earn 4,000 yuan, of which 3,000 yuan is paid to the enrollment agent and the training institution 1 1,000 yuan. Even so, insiders told reporters that if the recruitment agent is given a rebate, the training institution will not lose money, because if there is no recruitment agent to help recruit students, the training institution will have to advertise and spend money.
The reporter found that in some educational forums, the shadow of enrollment agents can also be seen everywhere. If a student posts that his college entrance examination results are not satisfactory, there will be a large number of netizens who will introduce which school they are going to and vigorously promote the advantages of the school. The propaganda words are full of praise.
"The phenomenon of enrollment agent is something that both the enrollment agent and the training institution agree, but it is the students who are ultimately hurt." The person in charge of a training institution told the reporter that with the sharing of benefits, the enrollment agent will desperately exaggerate the publicity of the training institution and trick students into attending the training institution in various ways. Students have no choice. If they find that they do not conform to the propaganda after studying, there will also be some disputes on the refund of tuition fees. If students are drawn into unlicensed training institutions by enrollment agents, their interests will not be guaranteed.
However, not all training institutions are willing to cooperate with enrollment agents. Some training institutions believe that if students are deceived by teachers and are dissatisfied after coming, what they lose is actually their own brand.
The behavior of "alternative recruitment" has never been managed by the department.
Every year after the college entrance examination begins, there are always various "enrollment agents" and "enrollment intermediaries" who become active, contacting candidates who are not ideal or fail in the admission institutions, saying that they can introduce students to a certain institution. In this regard, education departments at all levels have repeatedly issued bans, requiring colleges and universities to standardize enrollment behavior, resolutely stop and severely crack down on all kinds of illegal enrollment intermediaries, and prohibit all kinds of enrollment agency behavior.
However, the phenomenon of "substitute recruitment" in the market of training institutions has not been paid attention to by relevant departments and has become a regulatory blank. The phenomenon of "enrollment agent" has almost become the hidden rule of the training institution industry.
A related person from Fuzhou Education Bureau said yesterday that students should compare through various channels when choosing training institutions, and don't listen to the exaggerated propaganda of the introducer; At the same time, when choosing a training institution, we must verify whether the school has a school license. If students can do this, there will be no soil for survival.
After editing:
At present, the Ministry of Education has expressly stipulated that it is strictly forbidden for secondary vocational schools to compete for students by kickbacks. It is better to recruit fewer students than to recruit students illegally or with compensation. For those who repeat the college entrance examination, it is only stipulated that from 2008, all public high schools in the country are not allowed to hold repeat classes to recruit senior three repeat students, but it is not stipulated that some college entrance examination repeat training schools that can recruit repeat students in society should not rely on kickbacks to recruit students, which gives these schools an opportunity. Even some unlicensed training schools with no guarantee of quality take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and recruit students by high kickbacks, so that repeat students are deceived. Therefore, this kind of regulatory blank phenomenon of rebate enrollment should attract the attention of relevant departments.
