Yesterday, the media broke the news that there were more than 2,000 new students in a commercial and trade vocational college in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, who found that they had not been admitted after participating in military training.
According to media reports, a student surnamed Chen told reporters that in July this year, he signed up for a commercial and trade vocational college in Guangzhou, enrolled in September, and found that he had not been officially admitted to the school after the end of military training in October.
According to reports, there are more than 2,000 students who have the same experience as the students surnamed Chen. Not being officially admitted means that there is no student status and degree, and the college offers a full refund, but many people do not accept it.
The student surnamed Chen said:
"Now, the progress of our school can be fully refunded, but many people are not satisfied, surely many people are not satisfied, after all, they have also been trained in the military, textbooks have been issued to class, that Dean Chen said to me, then there will be 7 working days in a week, just a full refund of that tuition, my words now want a degree, ah, the degree is only 600 students per college is not enough, (similar students) there are more than 2,000, and there are foreign students."
It is reported that in August, students surnamed Chen paid 11,600 yuan to the vocational college.
In response to this problem, the school has also made an explanation at present, saying that it may be related to the admissions teacher. It is said that in addition to the admissions department of the school this year, there are also some off-campus training institution personnel involved in the enrollment.
A staff member from the academy told reporters:
"There are some institutions that do not advertise according to our regulations, and according to our admissions brochure, we have not made such a commitment to students. It is not excluded that some admissions teachers have cheated, and our school is also pursuing these things. ”
At present, the college has proposed four solutions:
(1) Continue your studies by choosing the form of "apprenticeship";
(2) A full refund will be given to students who have not been admitted and choose to withdraw from the university;
(3), patiently and meticulously explain and explain from the policy aspect;
(4), you can appeal through the opinion box, WeChat public account and other ways.
Of these four solutions, only the first and second measures can be regarded as real "concrete measures", the third and fourth have no substantive significance, and students cannot get any changes and gains.
In short, none of the four solutions listed by the school can provide students with additional degrees. This means that these more than 2,000 students will not be able to obtain academic status and degrees in the end.
If the student chooses a full refund, although the money can be returned, it must be "withdrawn", and if you withdraw from school, you will definitely not study within this year. Missed the opportunity to attend other schools and had to wait until next year to make a choice.
There is only one option left, that is, to choose "apprenticeship" to continue studying. Behind the "apprenticeship system" is the cooperation between schools and enterprises, that is, teachers teach technology as masters, and enterprises are responsible for recruiting skilled workers.
The only option, "apprenticeship," is perhaps the best option for these 2,000+ students.
The "apprenticeship system" mentioned by this commercial and trade vocational college in Guangzhou, also known as the "modern apprenticeship system", is a modern talent training model that mainly cultivates students' skills through in-depth cooperation between schools and enterprises, joint teaching by teachers and masters.
Although the "apprenticeship system" looks like an informal mentor-apprentice model, it is actually a talent training model introduced by the Ministry of Education.
In 2014, the Ministry of Education proposed a project aimed at deepening the integration of industry and education, school-enterprise cooperation, further improving the school-enterprise cooperation and education mechanism, and innovating the training mode of technical skills talents, known as the "modern apprenticeship system".
The "apprenticeship system" attaches great importance to the cultivation of vocational skills, which is of great positive significance to the development of enterprises and the integration of industry and education. However, because some schools use the form of "non-academic education" when practicing the "apprenticeship system", students only train without academic certificates, resulting in students not welcoming this "apprenticeship system".
If you can't get a degree, "apprenticeship" is only equivalent to an advanced form of "training class", which is not suitable for students who want to develop in the long run.
The "apprenticeship system" should also be further optimized and developed to protect the legitimate rights and interests of students in order to be accepted by the majority of students.
More than 2,000 students reported to the school for military training and found that they were not admitted, which the school should bear certain responsibility. However, when choosing a school, students should also polish their eyes, carefully screen, and try to apply for universities through formal channels.
For these 2,000 students, if they do not want to withdraw directly, they can also accept the "apprenticeship system" first, and then negotiate with the school to find a way to solve the problem of student status and degree next year.
