A
lot of universities have been found in exploiting the mode of training to seek
money, by imposing sky high fees on the students who get low marks from
university entrance exams.
Providing training services to orders is
defined as the training in accordance with the agreements inked between
universities and employers. The students who finish the training courses will
get bachelor degrees, to be granted by the universities and work for the
companies which sent students to the training courses.
However, in many cases, this is just a method
for universities to collect money from students, for enrolment companies to
earn brokerage fees, and for incapable students to get bachelor degrees like
other normal students of the schools.
The
enrolment companies
The ad pieces about enrolling students who
register to study at universities as their second choice (the students who fail
the exams to enter the registered universities, can register to study at other
universities which require lower marks) now can be seen on a lot of
websites.
The ad pieces say that the students, who fail
the 2011 entrance exams to universities, now can register to study at
prestigious universities and obtain the universities’ degrees like other
regular-training students. However, unlike the regular-training students, the
students to be admitted under this mode of training will have to pay the
tuitions to be negotiable between the involved parties
Especially, on http://daovu.net, a website
introduced as run by Dao Vu Company Ltd, one can see a lot of notices about the
enrolment of students to many prestigious schools, such as the Finance Academy,
Agriculture University, Trade University, Power University, the University of
Mining and Geology, the University for Natural Resources and the Environment,
and the Hanoi Industry University.
The noteworthy thing is that the enrolment is
carried out by companies in cooperation with schools. For example, the Thanh
Hoa Education and Training Investment and Development Joint Stock Company,
shows that it joins forces with the University of Mining and Geology, Finance
Academy, and the Hanoi Industry University to train 100 students to orders. The
Hanoi Mechanical Engineering Company Ltd joins forces with the Trade University
to train 50 students in accountancy major, and 50 students in finance and
banking.
On August 9, acting as the students who want to
enroll in the Trade University, Nguoi lao dong’s reporters met Dao Vu Dinh, A
director of the Dao Vu Company at a tea shop on Trung Hoa Street in Cau Giay
district in Hanoi.
Dinh advised the “students” to register to
study accountancy-auditing faculty or finance-banking faculty of the Trade
University. Dinh said that the “students” need to pay the fee of 60 million
dong to ensure to obtain a seat at the university, and that they must pay 30
million dong in advance.
Meanwhile, the fee would be higher, about
70-80 million dong, if the students want to study at the more prestigious
university – the Finance Academy.
When the students asked if graduates can be
sure that they will get the jobs at the Hanoi Mechanical Engineering Company as
introduced in the joint training program, Dinh said that graduates will have to
look for jobs themselves. He explained that the commitment to use students
after the graduation is just a commitment which facilitates the company to more
easily get “training quotas”.
Who
to enroll?
According to Nguoi lao dong, the mode of
training to orders proves to be a good way for the students who fail the
university entrance exams, to be able to study at universities and get bachelor
degrees in a legal way. They have to pay higher fees than other normal
regular-training students, but in this case, they still can buy degrees with
their money.
It seems that the training mode can benefit
all the three involved parties. Universities can earn more money by imposing
high fees on learners; enrolment companies can get fees for introducing
learners, while students can get bachelor degrees even though they cannot meet
the requirements to follow higher education.
