The "sky-high price" postgraduate training is as high as 200 thousand yuan, but "no refund" and "guarantee agreement" are all "routines"
The survey found that all kinds of "high-priced classes" for postgraduate entrance examination with "god gambling" as the gimmick are popular in many places.
In Chongqing, among the training products that a postgraduate counseling institution promised to sign a "guarantee agreement" with candidates, the cheapest "Diamond Rainbow Card for Master of Accounting" is 18800 yuan, and the most expensive "Extreme Rainbow Card for Master of Learning, Master of Economics and Comprehensive Master of Clinical Medicine" is 128000 yuan; In Jiangxi, Chinese public education covers the agreement class from the initial test to the second test, with a cost of 39,800 yuan; In Beijing, the cost of VIP one-on-one service "high-priced class" equipped with psychological counselors usually ranges from 6.5438+10,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan.
The reporter found that these "sky-high-priced classes" that claimed to be "excellent in effect" and were willing to sign a "guarantee agreement" to guarantee "no refund" were actually "fudge".
Take betting on "high hit rate" as a gimmick to attract attention. "Many training institutions attract students by drying transcripts. There are actually many tricks. " Professor Meng, a tutor in Jiangxi's postgraduate entrance examination, said that many questions were actually unilaterally declared successful just because the content was a bit marginal. Even, some institutions secretly revised the materials left on the Internet according to the examination questions published later.
At the moment when the confidentiality of proposition information is becoming more and more strict, "except for some large institutions with strong teachers, many composition classes are actually just propaganda." Gao Shuo, a training institution that has been running law postgraduate courses for many years.
Many high-priced classes that promise that students will "pass" usually sign so-called "guarantee agreements". Du Mou, an operator of a training institution in Chongqing, told reporters that the "guarantee agreement" is actually not guaranteed, and often only a part of tuition fees are refunded to students who fail the exam. For example, in an educational institution in Jiangxi, a training course costs 39,800 yuan, and students who fail the exam can only get a refund of 6,543,800 yuan.
According to industry insiders, taking a high-priced training course for 20 people as an example, as long as one or two students pass the training course, they can earn back the cost. After that, everyone who passes the exam is pure profit, which is a steady business.
Is there really an "internal channel" in the "composition class"?
The reporter's investigation found that some postgraduate training institutions claimed that "our teachers have internal information", "our teachers have participated in postgraduate entrance examinations for many years" and "we have internal channels to understand information". Do training institutions really have so-called "internal channels"?
It is understood that the Ministry of Education expressly stipulates that no department or staff member of institutions of higher learning may hold or participate in holding postgraduate counseling activities. The compilers and proposers of the examination syllabus shall not disclose their participation in the proposition and examination work, nor engage in teaching, academic and various social activities as participants in the examination and proposition, nor participate in any form of remedial and counseling activities related to postgraduate entrance examination, nor disclose the contents of the examination questions, proposition work and engage in any consultation related to the examination content in any form.
At present, most of the teachers who are active in the front line of postgraduate training are full-time training teachers with rich teaching experience in training institutions, or some part-time teachers who have no proposition experience and work in colleges and universities. "In theory, the teachers who participated in the topic are now afraid and will not go to class to talk about the topic. They all signed a confidentiality agreement and they will go to jail if they violate the rules. " A young college teacher who participated in the postgraduate entrance examination in colleges and universities a few years ago told reporters.
It is understood that postgraduate students need to sign a very strict confidentiality agreement. The Criminal Law Amendment (IX) stipulates that whoever cheats in the national examination prescribed by law and illegally sells or provides the examination questions and answers prescribed in the first paragraph to others shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention and shall also or only be fined; If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years and shall also be fined.
"University teachers are unlikely to take such a big risk in order to earn a few dollars. Moreover, the way of presenting questions in the postgraduate entrance examination has fundamentally changed, even if the questioner wants to miss the questions, it is very difficult. " Professor Meng said.
According to reports, in the previous "meeting proposition" era, the postgraduate entrance examination was that teachers from various schools got together to give questions. Although there are confidentiality measures, information leakage is inevitable. "It is not necessarily the original question, but someone collects money and reveals the direction of the proposition or related materials. Anyone who gets it can guess, and the bet is of course accurate. "
"But it won't work now. The postgraduate exam is no longer a' meeting proposition', and the questioner does not meet and the information is not exchanged. The relevant departments finally found a very small number of people to spell the problem, with clear responsibilities and small exports. " Professor Meng said.
What other links may be missed?
According to the survey, in recent years, although the way of proposition is changing and the secrecy system is strengthening, there are still loopholes in some links of postgraduate examination.
20 12, 20 16 cases with great social impact entered the judicial process. Judging from the public information, the source of the leak is not the proponent. "The printing and transportation of test papers, especially when transported to the grassroots level, is the most prone to missing questions." Professor Meng told the reporter that there had been a precedent that the local transportation custodian of the test paper accepted bribes from training institutions and opened the papers privately.
However, the reporter found that, compared with public courses, the professional examinations independently proposed by colleges and universities are a link with higher risk of leaking questions for postgraduate entrance examination.
Gao told reporters that the propositional information and personnel confidentiality system of postgraduate courses such as English, politics and mathematics are usually formulated by the education administrative department, and the confidentiality work is also supervised by it. The specialized courses of each enrollment unit are subject-specific, and the confidentiality of proposition information and proposer is handled by enrollment units such as universities and scientific research institutions. Therefore, security measures are obviously weaker than open classes. Some training institutions of postgraduate courses usually choose specific majors of some universities and spare no effort to weave contacts and information networks, which greatly increases the risk of missing questions in postgraduate courses.
When the reporter asked about the "market" of the missing questions in the postgraduate courses of well-known universities in Beijing, Gao told reporters that the money obtained from the missing questions is generally at least equivalent to the income of a whole year of classes in commercial training institutions.
A number of experts suggested that issues that touch the legal red line, such as unfulfilled promises and false propaganda, should be investigated and dealt with according to the Advertising Law and other relevant laws and regulations. At the same time, for the risk of missing questions in postgraduate courses, it is necessary to further strengthen the implementation of confidentiality measures and the responsibility investigation mechanism of all enrollment units. In addition, the administrative department of education should establish a "blacklist" system for postgraduate training institutions as soon as possible to guide students to apply for classes rationally.
