21 Chinese students studying in Singapore encounter "Pheasant University"

When meeting with Chinese youth Daily Reporter, Lu Guiyang carries a suitcase full of material, these materials are not long ago he brought back from Singapore.　　As a student parent, Lu Guiyang believes his son, Lu Ming (a pseudonym), was cheated when he attended a hotel management course jointly run by Huaqiang Vocational School in Shenzhen and Singapore Business College.　　After complaining to a number of departments, the angry Lu Guiyang felt the need to uncover the "insider" in the middle, and he went to Singapore to investigate the case and bring back the "evidence" that he thought was enough to explain the problem. The dream of studying abroad looks very beautiful. In 2004, Lu Guiyang son Lu Ming was admitted to Shenzhen Huaqiang Vocational and technical school, as a state-level key vocational school, the schools in the local famous. "In the beginning, we just came to the sign of Huaqiang," and took a copy of the year's China-strong vocational school and Singapore Business College to set up a professional hotel management program to go abroad, Lu Guiyang told reporters. The leaflet reads: Singapore Business School and Shenzhen Huaqiang Vocational and technical schools to operate the hotel operation and management courses, recruit fresh junior high school graduates, two years in Huaqiang Vocational School, the first 3 years to study in Singapore Business College, Singapore Business School is responsible for all students visa and related procedures.　　In the last half-year of Singapore, students will also be responsible for arranging internships and to receive internship allowances from the government. "The school promised to sign up that after graduation, the child can obtain the certificate issued by the Singapore Ministry of Education Process Education Institute, which can apply for immigration to Singapore, if you want to continue to study, you can also go to Singapore Polytechnic or university, or even to the Singapore business School friendly relations with the United Kingdom, Australian universities continue to pursue further studies. Although the tuition in Singapore for a year is not expensive, but given the future of the children, Lu Guiyang still sent Lu Ming to the class.　　This year, more than 40 children became the students in the joint school. In the two years after enrollment, students in Shenzhen Huaqiang Vocational School, all normal, according to the school agreement, there are 3 courses from Singapore to send teachers to teach and organize exams, qualified students also obtained a certificate of the Singapore Business College seal.　　Although I do not know what the purpose of this certificate, parents are still happy for their children's success. In Singapore, everything changed. In accordance with the teaching progress, in July 2006, 21 students eventually went to Singapore to start their study abroad after they had remitted tuition fees to the Singapore Business School's representative office in Hong Kong.　　Surprisingly, the students ' registration issued by the Singapore Immigration Service is "University of London management" rather than "Singapore Business College Hotel Management", and the parents who are immersed in the good expectations are unaware of any irregularities. But on the first day of Singapore, the students found something was wrong, and the business school provided a very different accommodation and learning environment than was introduced at home, with 21 children in a seemingly informal apartment building with three separate school signs hanging from the building.。　　Originally promised 2~4 people a dormitory into a 6~8 people, the quality of the meal is also very poor. In the following months, student dormitories, classrooms are often in the position of unmanned management, and sometimes normal classes also because there is no teacher and no protection. Reluctantly finished the study of cultural classes, the original commitment to the five-star hotel internship is also pushed by the school and then pushed the last no trace.　　What surprised the students most was that when the examination time of the Singapore Hotel Management course was approaching, they found that they could not even qualify for registration. The students who had no class and no internship had to stay in the dorm all day doing nothing, and some children came back in July or August 2007.　　At the end of 2007, when the visa expired and the Singapore Immigration Department refused to renew the student's application, some students cried to the parents and said that if they did not return, they would be detained by the police for illegal detention. When the parents who visited the children in Singapore told the reporter that they had found the situation wrong, they immediately looked for the Huaqiang Vocational School to reflect these conditions, but has not been improved.　　After the students returned home, several anxious parents collectively to the Chinese strong vocational school to claim, the school's reply is that the problem of the party in Singapore Business College, is they refused to give students "attendance" certification, only to cause students can not continue to study in Singapore, and then the immigration department refused to sign.　　Huaqiang Vocational School: We are the victims of the Chinese youth newspaper in the interview, Huaqiang Vocational schools, President Zhang also prepared a thick material, these materials, is the school in order to bring to the court for the Singapore Business Institute of Civil Litigation prepared evidence. Zhang told reporters that before the formal cooperation with the Singapore Business College, the dean of the Jianglili had 3 visits to Shenzhen to discuss and claimed to have the training qualifications of the relevant courses awarded by the Singapore Ministry of Education.　　After the approval of the Shenzhen government, Huaqiang Vocational School and its joint school courses. After the students to Singapore problems, Zhang and other school leaders have repeatedly to the new coordinated solution, this found that the original Singapore Business School has been the training qualifications had been terminated in November 2003, this school can not provide agreement on the hotel Management course training and recommended internship,　　It is not possible to arrange for students to take the examination and obtain the official diploma Certificate of Singapore. "The Singapore Business College has deliberately concealed the fact that they have no training qualifications when signing a joint school agreement, and has been constantly cheating in the process of running a joint school, damaging both the interests of the students and the reputation of our school," Zhang told reporters.　　Huaqiang Vocational School has filed a lawsuit against the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court to claim compensation for the corresponding losses. "Now, the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court summons has been served on the other side, the case is expected to be held in October this year trial," the Chinese strong vocational school lawyers told reporters.　　The lawyer also confessed to reporters that such cross-border lawsuits would be very troublesome. Zhang said that although Huaqiang Vocational school is also deceived one side, he alsoIt is felt that the school has a certain responsibility, and the experience of these students, he also felt some regret and guilt.　　To this end, he has repeatedly communicated with the Singapore Ministry of Education, the Immigration Department and the Chinese Embassy in Singapore, and eventually 6 students have been able to stay in Singapore to continue their tertiary courses.　　Joint running is a new way to go, but this collaboration with the Singapore Business School has become a reef in their quest to "run a joint school", Zhang said. may not be cheated more than Huaqiang vocational school according to our correspondent understand that in the school with the business schools, there are also cheated experience I am afraid more than a Chinese-strong vocational schools.　　In 2007, a media company in Dalian reported that more than 20 students from a local school sent to a business college in Singapore were "stranded" in Singapore, the students who went to study in Singapore, the skills to obtain visas and the subsequent encounters in Singapore were strikingly similar to the students in Huaqiang Vocational school. During the interview, a name named Zhangxiaoping was repeatedly mentioned by the parents, who assisted all the parents in dealing with the transfer of tuition fees to the Singapore Business Institute's Representative office in Hong Kong and received and handled complaints from parents on a number of occasions. Huaqiang Vocational school Principal Zhang told reporters, this person is a staff member of the Singapore Business Institute's Representative office in Hong Kong, the head of the representative office, the supervisor of the Singapore Business School, which holds a power of attorney from the Singapore Business Institute, and is responsible for cooperating in schools in Hong Kong, Macao and the mainland, as well as issuing letters of admission,　　Seal and assist students with visa processing.　　Reporter through the internet search found that Huang MoU with this person named Zhangxiaoping has many times on behalf of the Singapore Business School in Guangzhou, Nanning, Hangzhou and other place of some vocational schools, the project is to negotiate with the Singapore Business School in cooperation with the "hotel management" professional class. A Chen surname parents told reporters, although his children returned to China after the special care of the leadership of the vocational school, finally admitted to a domestic university, the result is satisfactory, but for being cheated Singapore reading, he still feel that there is something to say. After all, there should be a saying about the damage to this thing, in addition to the parents ' money and the precious learning time of the children. (Reporter Vouchin)
