The event passed
These students are assigned to work in factories through arrangements between the school and labor agencies.
However, their internships did not correspond to their majors, and the quality and conditions of the internships raised questions from students and parents.
When the issue of wage deduction was exposed, it attracted the attention of the public and the media.
The school's initial response was that it may be that the labor agency did not fully pay the students the wages they deserved, and said that they needed to investigate the matter further.
Hot comments from netizens
01
Why is it inconvenient to disclose?
02
It is not a light Yunnan technical school, and other technical cores are also forced to enter the factory to make screws
03
The last year of all technical secondary schools is to work in the factory, otherwise they will not be issued a graduation certificate.
04
How many years of routine, in the name of internship, to work, the school has a share! Some factory students still can't leave their jobs, and they don't get a graduation certificate if they leave their jobs!
05
grasshoppers all the way, and in the end the intermediary carried it all
06
The intermediary collects the money, then the school collects it, and the teacher collects it
Latest developments
The Yunnan Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security has intervened to investigate the incident. The school legal person said that the school is cooperating with relevant departments to find out the truth, and promised to deal with it in accordance with laws and regulations.
At the same time, the school is also reviewing how it works with labor agencies to ensure that similar incidents do not happen again.
Social repercussions
The incident sparked concerns about the management of individual schools and touched public trust in the entire technical and vocational education system.
All sectors of society call on technical and vocational schools to strictly control the quality of internships to ensure that students' internships are consistent with their professional knowledge and are carried out in a legal and compliant environment.
At the same time, there are also voices calling for stronger supervision of labor intermediaries to ensure that they can operate fairly and transparently, and to protect the legitimate rights and interests of intern students.
prospect
This incident at the Yunnan New Southwest Technical School may be just the tip of the iceberg.
It exposes possible problems in the transfer of benefits between individual educational institutions and labor agencies, and reflects possible problems in the placement of internships in the field of technical and vocational education.
In the long run, improving the quality of education and ensuring the professionalism and legitimacy of internships are the keys to improving the gold content of technical and vocational education and cultivating qualified technical talents.
In this regard, the education department and the whole society should shoulder their responsibilities and jointly promote the development of technical and vocational education in the mainland in a higher quality, more fair and reasonable direction.
Personal opinion
This incident has shown us a serious loophole in the educational internship system.
This incident is an exposure of the school's mismanagement, and it is also a wake-up call for the entire technical and vocational education system, suggesting that we must re-examine and strengthen the normative and righteous nature of the internship system.
The core purpose of vocational education is to develop students' practical skills and enable them to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired in their future careers.
However, when internships become a tool for the transfer of interests from schools or intermediaries, this educational purpose is seriously distorted.
Students are placed in positions that do not match their majors, which not only wastes their study efforts, but also violates their basic rights as workers.
Labor agents play an undue role in the student internship process.
Ideally, labor agencies should be a bridge between schools and businesses to help students find suitable internships.
However, in this case, the role of the labor intermediary seems to be more inclined to the recipient of financial benefits, which seriously harms the interests of the students.
The intervention of the Yunnan Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security is a powerful response to such improper internship arrangements, demonstrating the importance that the government attaches to education and the protection of labor rights.
Government intervention alone is not enough to solve the problem at all. We need to establish a stricter system to fully monitor the placement of internships in technical and vocational schools, and ensure that all internships are strictly in line with the requirements of education and labor laws.
The internship system of technical and vocational education should be designed with the education and career development of students as the starting point, rather than as a tool for the economic interests of schools and intermediaries.
In this regard, education management should strengthen the review and supervision to ensure that each internship program can provide real help and support for students' careers.
In addition, severe punitive measures should be taken against schools and intermediaries that violate the regulations, so as to warn and regulate relevant behaviors in the industry.
end
This incident, while regrettable, also provides an opportunity for us to reflect on and improve current education and labor practices.
By establishing and maintaining a fair, transparent and efficient internship system, we can better protect the rights and interests of students and promote the healthy development of technical and vocational education.
