Student: Private printed materials are compulsory to buy.
Galen English School, I saw the students in class. Immediately, we consulted the front desk staff as parents. The staff said, "Tuition fee: 780 yuan 10 class, 5 weeks. Pay more tuition fees and you can get a discount. "
As a parent, I bought the little red book printed by Galen English at a price of 12 yuan. The little red book is printed with "Cost of production 12 yuan". According to the regulations of the Press and Publication Administration, publications without serial numbers cannot be sold.
"Little Red Book" is printed and sold privately.
School: It is common not to invoice.
Teacher Zhang, who once worked in Galen English Training School, told us some unknown secrets. He said: "As an employee who worked in Galen, I really don't want to expose this matter, but thinking that so many employees and parents have been cheated, I decided to stand up and uncover this shady situation, and let the society operate reasonably and legally with harmony and justice. First of all, school tax evasion is serious. At present, there are nearly 500 students in Galen English Training School, and the monthly tuition income is nearly 700,000-654.38+00,000. When parents pay tuition fees, Galen English Training School will not issue invoices on the pretext that tuition fees will be paid in classes at the end of the month. But in fact, from March to June of 20 10, the invoice amount was less than 50% of the tuition fee, and the invoice was not given to the consumer, but was randomly issued by the so-called consulting toll collector. The rights and interests of consumers are also affected because they have not issued legal invoices to their parents. According to Galen's regulations, no matter what the reason, the fee will not be refunded after 2 weeks of the course. Therefore, some students stipulate that even if they don't fully enjoy the purchased course services, they can't refund the fees. This situation is found all over the country. "
"Didn't parents ask for a ticket invoice?" We asked. "Some parents want it, but most parents don't. First, parents themselves feel that there is no place to reimburse tickets, but this is a voucher for charging, and the receipt is the same; On the other hand, parents also understand that there may be problems in the school, but since they want their children to go to school here, why bother to offend people, so most parents don't have invoices. "
Ms. Li, the parents of the students, said, "My daughter Xiao Fang (a pseudonym) is studying New Concept English at Peony Garden Campus. She has been studying in Galen for almost three years, and her tuition has been rising. At the beginning, the school operated normally and the official invoice was issued in time. But later, the invoice was changed into a receipt, saying that the tuition fee would be used up before it was opened. As a result, no one really gave the invoice. 20 10, saying that the tuition fee will go up, please ask the old classmates to pay the tuition fee. We paid two installments at one time, and the tuition fee in the past 1 year was 15988 yuan, and the school did not issue an invoice. Later, there were fewer students in the class, so we had to divide classes. We want to refund the fee. Galen said that the preferential price charged at that time could not be refunded. He also recommended a new class to us, called a demonstration class, but the tuition of our demonstration class has to be calculated according to the new fees. "
We asked, "didn't you get the invoice for tuition?"
"No."
"You didn't ask for an invoice either?"
"If you want no reimbursement, you don't want it."
Then we interviewed Mr. Wang, the parents of the students. He said, "Our children came to Galen on 20 10, studied in Galen for more than two years, paid several tuition fees and never gave a ticket."
Employees: Their legitimate rights and interests have been violated.
In addition, according to Ms. Zhou, an employee, "it is very common for our company to default on employees' wages. The relevant regulations are that wages are paid monthly, but Galen often delays the payment date. According to the requirements of the contract, wages are usually paid from the 8th to 15, but they are also paid after 15. Moreover, the time for paying wages is set for a period of time, which is suspected of breaking the law. Dismiss employees in disguise again. Last year, during Galen's so-called great transformation (that is, disguised layoffs), 200 people left the country. Generally, managers earnestly persuade them to take the initiative to write resignation reports, resulting in the illusion that employees voluntarily resign, so there is no need to pay any compensation. It is understood that Galen has two contracts with employees, one is a contract signed with employees, and the other is a forged contract, which is filed in the Labor Bureau. It is said that the real contract was not filed in the labor bureau because it did not meet the requirements, so it was later forged by the employee's signature. "
We asked, "That employee didn't complain to the labor department?"
"Hey, I complained, but the relevant departments did not actively file a case for investigation."
We also interviewed Ms. Zhou, who used to work in the school. She told us about the school's arrears of wages: "I only worked in Galen for six months. I came to Galen in April 2009 as a student management counselor. It was hard to join Galen at first. It's a video and a guarantor. At that time, the contract agreed to pay wages on 10, but they were not paid in time. Later, he said that the school would lose money, or if he resigned, his salary would be reduced. No choice but to 10 resign. One of our pregnant colleagues was forced to resign voluntarily. "
It is understood that Galen chain education institution was established in 1997. Galen chain education institutions have successively established charter demonstration schools in nine cities including Beijing, Taiyuan, Tangshan, Dalian, Changchun, Shenyang and Anshan, and successively developed dozens of charter chain schools in Hebei, Zhejiang, Liaoning, Tianjin, Shanxi and other provinces, cities and autonomous regions. As one of the largest private educational institutions in China, Galen has won many honorary titles, such as the most influential brand in China education chain, the best brand in China 100, and the first choice of 20 private enrollment and education integrity demonstration schools in China.
Why do such problems occur in such a large education and training institution and enterprises with many auras hanging on their heads?
