At present, many training schools make false exaggerations or even false propaganda in the competition. And "postgraduate training is like cutting leeks, cutting one crop after another."

According to the news, some social organizations cheat students in the name of so-called postgraduate counseling, and gain illegitimate interests. 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 chaotic state of the current postgraduate training market and the deceptive tricks of some training schools. The research friends opened their eyes wide!

1. Vague words and exaggerated words

Obviously, it is a postgraduate training institution approved by the Social Education Office of the District Education Bureau, but it is clearly written in its own publicity materials: "It was established with the approval of the Ministry of Education." In other schools, in the publicity materials, the start time of running a school is arbitrarily advanced by several years, exaggerating the history and achievements of running a school.

2. The data is untrue, deceiving candidates

Some training schools claim in their brochures that "the passing rate is nearly 1%" 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 scores, but training schools that only provide short-term counseling can't do it at all. Because many low-scoring candidates are unwilling to tell their scores. "

not only that, some training institutions often tamper with the data used in advertising. For example, a school's publicity about the passing rate of one year's postgraduate entrance examination exceeded 7% in the first year, and it became more than 8% in the second year, and it became more than 9% in the third year of "keeping pace with the times".

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 regular training schools, there are also quite a few cases of tax evasion.

4. 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 systems. The fees for such excellent classes are much higher than those for ordinary training courses, with the fees reaching several thousand yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan.

in order to attract students to buy these cards, the training school will sign an internal agreement with the candidates, stipulating the responsibilities and obligations of both parties. Even in some agreements, it is clearly stated that after paying the fees, the training school will ensure that the candidates will pass the initial examination and even be admitted to the graduate school. Of course, the premise of signing this agreement is to pay a high fee, up to 1 thousand yuan. The training school's explanation of this fee is used to get through the admission barriers such as schools and teachers.

5. Abuse and rumor-making, attacking the other teacher

"Teacher XX is not proficient in his business and misleads others' children" and "Teacher XX is only in name, which is harmful to people". These contents appear in the leaflets distributed on the street and are fabricated words used by some training institutions to attack and slander competitors. Chen Wendeng once saw a rumor advertisement: "Chen Wendeng is 85 years old, with white hair, losing all his teeth and stumbling". After a while, a small advertisement "Chen Wendeng is bedridden" appeared again.

There are also some schools that instruct people to post false news on various postgraduate entrance examination forums, and even make personal attacks on some teachers.

six: exaggerating, beautifying teachers

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

In the publicity materials of a training school, a teacher is described as follows: "From 1985 to 21, he was the head of a certain mathematical proposition group in the postgraduate entrance examination." In fact, since 1987, our country has only started the national unified examination for the number of subjects in the postgraduate entrance examination.

seven: use the media to "paint"

this "powder" is "reputation". Reputation is very important for postgraduate training schools. A school with a variety of honors looks more credible and easier to gain the trust of candidates, so that it can stand out from the fierce competition and occupy a larger market. However, it is not easy to win honor by virtue of strength, and some training schools have used their brains in other ways.

Chen Wendeng was once lobbied by an organization to select outstanding private training institutions and hold a commendation meeting in the Great Hall of the People or Diaoyutai, but only if the appraisal fee of more than 4, yuan was paid.

Eight: Bet on the topic and guess the topic, boasting about the hit rate

In the morning of the postgraduate exam in p>26, just after taking the political exam, in the afternoon, a school put out an elaborate and large advertisement "Warmly hail Professor XX who won five political questions in our school", and the same was true in 27, 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, so big an 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, a school struggled with thugs to control the postgraduate training market, 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.

Because of the concentration of colleges and universities in Beijing, the competition in the postgraduate training market is the fiercest, and similar situations are common in other provinces and cities. In 26 and 27, there were open fights among postgraduate counseling institutions in Qingdao, Xi 'an, Wuhan, Nanjing and other places, and even a group fight in class. These behaviors seriously interfere with the reputation and normal competition order of the postgraduate training market.

Ten: Stick+Trap, Squeeze Teachers

In order to recruit powerful and influential teachers, many postgraduate training schools have promised a lot of money, but after class, they have used various improper means to break their promises.

Some "Jianghu-spirited" training schools even threaten teachers with force. Some schools even set money and pornography traps for teachers, tempting them to take the bait, and then don't pay teachers on the grounds that they have evidence in their hands. (Editor in Charge: Yangyang)
