Recently, the news that 46 students organized by New Oriental were denied visas to study in the United States has sparked heated discussions on the Internet. This incident once again triggered people's reflection on the management of outbound study tours. As an emerging industry, there is still a long way to go in the regulation and regulation of outbound study tours.
Outbound study tours are developing rapidly, and non-standard management has become a potential safety hazard
Outbound study tours are developing rapidly in mainland China, and more and more Chinese parents are choosing to send their children to study abroad. I hope that children will broaden their horizons and be exposed to different cultures; Invest in your child's future. However, the rapid expansion of outbound study tours is not standardized in terms of management and supervision, and various safety accidents occur from time to time.
As a well-known educational institution, New Oriental is also unable to escape management loopholes. The 46 students were divided into 3 groups and went to the United States, but there were only 2 teachers who led the group. The teacher who led the group asked the children to lie, which resulted in the rejection of the whole group. It is sad that parents pay a high price to sign up, but their children miss out on learning opportunities in vain.
At present, there is no mature service standard for outbound study tours in the mainland, the sense of responsibility of the institutions is not strong, and the management loopholes have not been fully filled. Some unscrupulous organizations may neglect their job responsibilities in order to make money, which may lead to safety accidents.
Safety accidents in outbound study tours are not uncommon, and supervision must be tightened. Relevant departments should formulate more detailed service standards for outbound study tours as soon as possible, and strictly examine and approve the qualifications of teachers who lead the team to ensure a safe ratio. Institutions should also strengthen training and management to put an end to illegal behaviors such as making students lie. Improve the plan, once the emergency can be dealt with freely.
Compared with developed countries, the management system of mainland outbound study tours is not perfect
Compared with developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, mainland outbound study tours are still in the development stage, and the management system is not sound. It is urgent to improve laws and regulations and industry norms, and we must learn from successful foreign practices. Specifically:
Establish an outbound study tour file system to record the information of study tour groups and students. Implement real-name management, and once a problem is discovered, the parties can be locked in a timely manner.
Strengthen regular inspections, and deal with penalties in a timely manner once problems are found. The inspection can include all aspects of the student's accommodation, going out, etc., and once violations are found, they must be dealt with seriously.
Establish a blacklist system, and institutions with serious violations are included in the blacklist, and the industry and regulatory departments are to jointly take action. Increase the intensity of punishment and severely crack down on all kinds of illegal acts.
Improve the refund system, and students can receive reasonable compensation in case of emergencies. Safeguard the rights and interests of students and promote the healthy development of outbound study tours. Encourage industry autonomy and set industry benchmarks. Industry associations should play a role in self-discipline, commending creditworthy institutions and eliminating problematic institutions.
Parents also need to be cautious when choosing, not just looking at the price and publicity
In recent years, unscrupulous travel agencies and intermediaries have appeared frequently, and parents need to be cautious when choosing, not just looking at prices and publicity. You should learn more about the background of the institution and see if it has a negative record of safety or integrity. Clarify the learning objectives of the overseas study tour with your children, and choose projects that can really increase knowledge and exercise ability. Beware of institutions raising prices and inducing consumption with false propaganda.
It is recommended that parents choose large and well-known institutions, which operate in an orderly manner and have a strong sense of responsibility. In fact, high price does not mean good quality, reasonable price with strict management, is a good choice. Before choosing, you must read the terms of the contract, especially the refund clause, to protect your own rights and interests.
The refusal of the study tour group reflects that the integrity of the study tour needs to be strengthened
The refusal of visas for study tours reflects that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the construction of integrity in study tours. Institutions should enhance their sense of social responsibility, operate honestly and trustworthy, and not make huge profits at the expense of students' interests. For the sake of students, safety should be put first, and the bottom line should not be overstepped.
Students should also learn to think independently, not to trust others, to answer honestly during the interview, and not to lie casually. It is necessary to take the initiative to understand the visa policy and show enough sincerity when signing officials face-to-face. At the same time, parents should also cultivate their children's honesty and trustworthiness from an early age, which will help them throughout their lives.
Improve laws and regulations to regulate overseas study tours, so that they can embark on the road of healthy development
This incident is deplorable, but it has also become a warning for the transformation and upgrading of mainland outbound study tours. Only by improving laws and regulations, standardizing operations, and establishing integrity can the industry of outbound study tours develop healthily on a standardized track and benefit more parents and students.
Industry associations should also play a self-regulatory role. Formulate specifications for outbound study tour services, and carry out training to improve the security and emergency response capabilities of institutions. Establish credit files for institutions and employees, and strengthen routine inspections. Problems are found to be reminded and rectified in a timely manner, and a demonstration and driving role is formed.
It is believed that after this reflection, the Outbound Travel Association will become more professional and responsible. Let's look forward to the future of overseas study tours! It will surely achieve standardization, standardization and brand operation under the guidance of perfect laws and regulations, provide better and more efficient services, and become one of the important ways to help young people grow.
