You may not know that those vocational schools that advertise "providing internship opportunities for students" hide the secret of the price difference that makes internships a tool for making students intern. Let's lift this fog together and rethink what education really means!
As the times have changed, so has the meaning of education. However, in vocational schools, we have found some worrying phenomena. These schools are known for offering internship opportunities that attract students who aspire to make their mark in the workplace. However, the truth is that these schools do not really care about the nurturing and development of their students, but rather use them as a tool to earn the difference. Let's dive into this question and rethink what education really means.
Vocational school: a guise for internships
Many students have expectations for vocational schools and hope for better employment opportunities through internships. Unbeknownst to them, however, the schools were cleverly manipulating internship opportunities. During the internship period, the vocational school charges the student tuition fee at a high fee and signs the student with the company for the internship agreement. However, there is an uneven distribution of benefits between students and schools in these agreements.
The Secret of the Spread: Students Become a Money-Making Tool
During internships, students are often not paid to match their efforts. This is because of the black-box operation between the school and the enterprise, the school will sell the students' internship results to the company at a higher price, and the students can only get a meager return. In this way, students become tools to earn the difference between the school and the business, their labor is exploited, and the school makes an easy profit.
Educational significance: Back to basics
When education has become a tool for economic gains, we cannot help but ask: What is the true meaning of education? Education should be a process of cultivating students' comprehensive quality and moral values, and should provide students with intellectual and moral growth. However, the behaviour of vocational schools is a serious departure from this original purpose. We need to refocus on the core of education and return to the essence of education.
The solution: improve the regulatory mechanism
In order to solve this problem, we need to strengthen the supervision of vocational schools and regulate the cooperative relationship between schools and enterprises. Governments and regulators should develop policies that clearly define the distribution of benefits during internships, and strengthen oversight and punishment of school behavior. At the same time, students should also enhance their legal awareness and protect their rights and interests.
Education Revisited: Putting People First
Above all, we must re-examine the meaning of education. Education is not just about getting a good job, it's about shaping a thoughtful and responsible citizen. Education should focus on cultivating students' innovative ability, practical ability and sense of social responsibility, so that they can become the backbone of social development.
Under the guise of allowing students to intern, vocational schools earn the difference in price, which is contrary to the essence of education and harms the rights and interests of students. We should work together to strengthen regulation and restore the true meaning of education so that every student has access to a fair and valuable education.
