Does Jiangsu have elite education?

Recently, some netizens have reported that there are problems with the school-running qualifications of Elite Education Group and its teaching staff, and they have also questioned the quality of Elite Education’s “one-on-one teaching”. The reporter subsequently conducted an investigation and found that this so-called "formal" educational institution not only did not have "strong teachers and immediate improvement in grades" as they advertised, but it was also a "black" school that did not have the qualifications to run a school at all.

According to Hangzhou.com, a netizen claiming to be a "resigned employee of Elite Education" once broke the news online that "Elite Education" is actually a scam company with no qualifications to run a school, fake teachers and opaque class fees. The reporter interviewed the relevant departments of the Hangzhou Municipal Education Bureau over the phone. Wu Zui, director of the Adult Education Division of the Hangzhou Municipal Education Bureau, said that consumers reported relevant problems last year, but the relevant departments have not yet rectified the situation. So far, “Elite Education” still does not have the relevant qualifications to run a school.

According to relevant national regulations: Any educational institution that involves one-to-one tutoring and recruits primary and secondary school students for training and teaching must hold a "School Operating License" issued by the education administration department. However, after investigation, the reporter discovered that "Elite Education" is actually just an educational technology company, not an educational institution. Its business name registered with the industrial and commercial administration department is "Hangzhou Jingxuerui Education Information Consulting Co., Ltd.", and its business scope is educational information consulting (except study abroad (Weibo) agency), cultural event planning, educational software technology development, etc. There is no "education and training" item among them. It is such an institution that has no qualifications to run a school, but it has openly enrolled students in the society for several years. "Elite Education" runs schools in violation of regulations under the guise of "regular teaching", and is a veritable "black" school.

One question: Without school qualifications, how can the teaching quality be convincing?

In accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Law of the People's Republic of China and Private Education Promotion", academic education is organized and implemented , preschool education, self-study examination assistance and other cultural education private schools shall be approved by the education administrative department of the people's government at or above the county level in accordance with the authority prescribed by the state; private schools that organize vocational qualification training and vocational skills training focusing on vocational skills , shall be examined and approved by the labor and social security administrative departments of the people's governments at or above the county level in accordance with the authority specified by the state, and a copy shall be sent to the education administrative department at the same level for filing.

According to the relevant provisions of the "Hangzhou Private Training School Management Measures", to establish a private cultural and educational school, the following conditions must be met: the registered capital must reach more than 1 million yuan, and the total building size of the school must be The area should be no less than 500 square meters, and the school premises should comply with planning, fire protection, sanitation, building safety and other requirements. At the same time, private schools must have a full-time person in charge, that is, a principal, and have qualified full-time education and teaching managers and full-time teachers. The principal must be approved by the education department. Through these conditions, we can ensure that students can enjoy regular teaching in private schools.

In this regard, the reporter interviewed Wu Zuo, Director of the Adult Education Department of the Hangzhou Municipal Education Bureau. Director Wu said: "Jingli is a company, so the establishment of its institution and its responsible persons (managers, etc.) The selection does not require approval from relevant government departments and is far less demanding than the person in charge (principal) of a private school. "Establishing an education information consulting company is relatively simple. You only need a company name and a location, and just register with the industrial and commercial department.

It can be seen that the standards for registering educational information companies are far from the relevant provisions of the "Hangzhou Private Training School Management Measures". "Elite Education" does not even have the minimum qualifications to run a school, so how can it talk about teaching professionalism? Degree and teaching quality! Elite Education, which claims to be "one-on-one tutoring", not only runs a school in violation of regulations, but also belongs to an out-of-scope operation from the perspective of industrial and commercial operations.

Second question: Where can teachers be hired? Are teacher qualification certificates necessary?

According to the provisions of the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Promotion of Private Education", private schools should Establish a teacher training system to provide conditions for employed teachers to receive corresponding ideological and political training and professional training.

The reporter called the number in the recruitment information of "Elite Education" and expressed that he wanted to apply for the position of "Arts and Comprehensive Teacher (full/part-time available)". The other party said that part-time teachers in liberal arts and comprehensive arts have been fully recruited, but there is only a shortage of full-time teachers. When the reporter explained information such as "senior graduates, non-normal school graduates", the other party did not refuse, but replied: "This depends on whether the individual is well matched to the position. You can submit your resume first. If you feel it is suitable, Conduct an interview again and discuss the details after the interview is appropriate.

”

In this regard, Wu Cheng, director of the Adult Education Department of the Hangzhou Municipal Education Bureau, said that in fact, most of the employees in these companies do not have teacher qualification certificates and do not enjoy teacher treatment. Even if a small number do Teachers are hired, but they are also employees of the company. The teachers here are not regular teachers who actually teach students. It is difficult for students to participate in educational training or tutoring in such a place, and it is difficult to ensure the teaching effect, and it may also be possible. Problems such as fraud and safety arise.

Three questions: How can quality be guaranteed if we only recruit students without regard to effectiveness?

The "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Promotion of Private Education" stipulates, Private schools should open corresponding courses, carry out education and teaching activities, and ensure the quality of education and teaching in accordance with the commitments in the admissions brochure or admissions advertisement.

According to netizen Xiao Wu, they have called the "Jingli" 400 number and "Jingli". We called multiple campuses in Hangzhou for consultation. None of the phone numbers were for complaints or suggestions. All the phone numbers were for enrollment services. The customer service staff said they could not predict or evaluate the teaching effect and asked them to continue calling. The phone number of the brand department. Whenever I want to report a problem, the answer is almost always "We only deal with enrollment consultation, we don't know anything else." After ten calls, the "elite" customer service attitude of passing the blame and playing ball makes consumers can't help but feel. I have serious doubts about their slogan of "strong teaching staff, immediate improvement in scores, and comprehensive improvement of learning ability". "It only focuses on enrollment and does not care about the teaching effect. This is not the behavior of a responsible institution at all!" Xiao Wu, a netizen, said angrily. Say.

Xinhua Education gives you advice: How to judge whether "XX Education" is a private school?

The teaching effectiveness of education and training institutions is always an important indicator for measuring institutions. Many parents cannot tell the difference between genuine and fake educational institutions. The Hangzhou Municipal Education Bureau has recently made some regulations on the promotion of private schools. Students and parents can judge whether the advertised "educational institution" is a school or a company based on the following aspects:

Private schools with school-running qualifications must use the full name of the school when advertising, and must publish the school license number; in addition, they need to register with the education department before advertising, and the registration number also needs to be published on the advertisement. Information consulting companies often do not use their full names to advertise, but only use vague names like "Xingrui Education". For example, Hangzhou Jingxuerui Education Information Consulting Co., Ltd. often uses names like "Jingrui Education" when advertising and when issuing invoices. , these education information consulting companies use triplicate forms instead of formal education invoices.

“The most direct way is to ask the other party to show the school license when registering. If it cannot be produced, it must not be the one. Formal education and training institutions. " Director Wu said.

At the same time, such educational information companies will be registered and filed with the local industrial and commercial department. The Hangzhou Municipal Education Bureau reminded netizens: If their consumer rights are not protected, While complaining to the education authorities, you can also file a complaint to the local industrial and commercial administration department and seek protection.
