The Ministry of Education reminds candidates and parents to be wary of the trap of "high-priced tutoring".
In view of some "high-priced" voluntary filling guidance services in the society in recent years, the Ministry of Education reminds the majority of candidates and parents to be cautious about all kinds of voluntary filling guidance services on the market, and not to believe in "high-priced" guidance and consultation, so as to avoid unnecessary economic losses and voluntary filling risks. Here, we summarize some typical problems in the voluntary filling market in recent years, and remind candidates and parents to pay attention to prevention.
1. "Internal data" is not mysterious
Case: Some institutions or individuals claim to have so-called "internal big data", which can be "accurately located" to ensure that candidates enter their favorite majors, thereby inducing candidates and parents to purchase high-priced services. The data was found to be inaccurate and even misleading, and a number of candidates made mistakes because they relied on such data.
【Reminder】Every year before filling in the college entrance examination, the provincial admissions examination agencies will release the statistics of the college entrance examination results of the year and the admission scores of colleges and universities in recent years, and the reference data used by consulting institutions or individuals on the market are collected and summarized through the open channel. However, due to the fact that some consulting institutions and individuals do not have an in-depth study and understanding of the enrollment batch and enrollment policy, there are blind spots and misunderstandings in the use of these data, which is misleading to students and parents.
Second, the "expert team" is not professional
【Case】Some institutions use the banners of "college entrance examination volunteer planners" and "authoritative expert teams" to increase their authority and deceive the trust of candidates and parents. But in fact, these so-called "college entrance examination volunteer planners" have no relevant qualifications and experience, and some are even temporarily recruited social personnel to give guidance to candidates and parents according to the "lines" provided by the headquarters. Parents are not only spending money unjustly on the services of these agencies, but they may also be misnounishing their wishes.
Reminder: The relevant departments have never issued professional qualification certificates such as "College Entrance Examination Volunteer Planner". This year, colleges and universities around the country have organized various free online and offline enrollment consultation activities, strengthened the training of senior third year class teachers, and set up a special work team to provide meticulous and thoughtful voluntary consulting services for candidates and parents. At the same time, the college entrance examination volunteer filling is the "last lesson" for high school graduates, and the process of filling in the volunteer is also an important step for candidates to understand themselves and plan for the future. Candidates should fill in the application independently and reasonably according to their college entrance examination results, interests and aspirations, as well as the enrollment policies of colleges and universities, and plan their future academic and career development paths, and do not simply hand them over to an institution or individual.
Third, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of service
【Case】Some institutions take advantage of the anxiety of candidates and parents to charge high service fees, and the pricing is not transparent, and the service content is "watching people cook", which is suspected of price fraud. An institution launched a voluntary filling guidance service for the college entrance examination of up to tens of thousands of yuan, claiming to be able to provide "one-to-one" professional guidance, but many parents reported that they simply provided some general filling suggestions, and the service content was seriously inconsistent with the actual publicity, and the fees were abnormally high, and they felt deceived.
Reminder: The Ministry of Education guides all provincial-level administrative departments for education and admissions and examination bodies, in conjunction with market supervision, public security and other departments, to carry out special governance of voluntary college entrance examination filling services, continue to rectify market chaos such as high-priced fees, false and exaggerated publicity, malicious misinterpretation of policies, implementation of fraud, and dissemination of bad guidance, and severely crack down on violations of laws and regulations. At the same time, candidates and parents should also pay attention to screening, fill in the report rationally based on their own reality, and do not consume blindly or impulsively.
Fourth, exaggerate anxiety and over-marketing
【Case】Some voluntary filling guidance agencies overemphasize the employment prospects of certain majors, create the illusion of "popular majors", and even publish so-called "professional rankings" to attract candidates to buy services. This kind of "professional determinism" deliberately exaggerates an atmosphere of anxiety, and the real purpose behind it is to sell courses and consulting services for profit. Some candidates listen to this kind of guidance and blindly pursue "popular majors", but after admission, they find that they don't like it at all and are not suitable for the major they applied for.
At present, colleges and universities generally strengthen general education in the cultivation of talents, pay attention to a solid foundation and wide caliber, and are committed to improving the comprehensive quality and ability of students. At the same time, according to the Regulations on the Management of Students in Ordinary Colleges and Universities, colleges and universities have formulated specific measures for students to change majors, so as to provide students with the opportunity to choose their majors for a second time after entering the school. Many colleges and universities also implement the minor major system to promote the cultivation of compound talents. Therefore, candidates and parents do not need to be overly anxious about the choice of major, "popular majors" are not necessarily suitable for everyone, only majors that match interests and aspirations can achieve long-term sustainable development of individuals. Rather than considering the "hot and cold" of the major for a while, students should focus on themselves, combine their personal interests and their own strengths, and pursue a career direction suitable for their lifelong development.
