Recently, Shanghai's Ms. Liu because she intends to send three of her daughter abroad to study, they found the Beijing Wei Long Consulting Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Granville Company").

But according to industry insiders, currently in Shanghai to carry out the intermediary business of nearly 150, about 90% intermediary qualifications are not even qualified. With the rapid growth of the number of students in China, driving billions of yuan in the study industry market share, some of the intermediary agencies rely on the provision of simple advisory services to profit quite a lot. Many intermediary agencies do not hesitate to operate, even in the case of incomplete qualifications, without authorization to conduct study abroad intermediary business. Ms. Liu told the reporter, she would like to deal with a visa for her daughter, Wiju company to inform the visa to go to the first three months before the start of school. After other intermediary consultation, in accordance with the requirements of Canada, in order to ensure the timely processing of visas, at least three months in advance to start processing.

"A well-known domestic study intermediary responsible for the Agent Allen (a pseudonym) said. After investigation, the reporter found that Wiju company in Shanghai to carry out the qualification of the intermediary business is also doubtful. The Ministry of Education website pointed out that the study abroad intermediary belongs to the franchise industry, qualified to study in the intermediary must have the Ministry of Education issued "at their own expense to study abroad intermediary accreditation," and the local business administration issued to allow them to carry out their own at their own expense of the "business License", and check Reporter in Wei long company Shanghai Branch to see, the company has been issued by the Ministry of Education "at his own expense to study abroad intermediary agency accreditation book." However, the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Industry and Commerce on the website of the data shows that the company's business license business Scope has enterprise management consulting, business information consulting, and not including study abroad intermediary business. It also means that the company does not have the qualifications to conduct study abroad in Shanghai. Allen introduced, such as the study of the intermediary in Shanghai, there are a lot of the country. Huang, deputy general manager of the Teaching of foreign studies, many intermediaries play the edge, using the name of consulting to carry out study intermediary business. The reporter consulted the Ministry of Education announced through the certification of the Shanghai Study intermediary list, a total of 16 enterprises. "And in Shanghai to carry out the intermediary business of nearly 150, a considerable number of intermediary qualifications are not even qualified, these intermediaries or unprofessional, or illegal operation, these intermediaries due to the Shanghai Municipal Board of Education and Trade association supervision, it is likely to fraught." "said Allen. and attract so many intermediaries do not hesitate to operate, even in the case of incomplete qualifications to carry out the business of the rootThe source is driven by the industry's high profit lure. According to the Ministry of Education Statistics, the total number of Chinese students studying abroad last year was 339,700, which grew by 19.32% compared with the previous year. Among them, 314,800 students at their own expense. In accordance with the current industry fees per person 20,000 yuan intermediary fee calculation, the market share of up to 6.3 billion yuan. In addition, overseas colleges and universities will give intermediary companies some rebate. According to Allen, general study intermediary fees from thousands of yuan to more than 100,000, while the intermediary sent each student to go abroad the average cost of about 10,000 yuan, the industry profit as high as 100%, and some "black intermediary" profit is far higher than this number. There are so many intermediary companies in the market, many of them are exempt from the relevant local authorities, in Shanghai as an example, only 16 of the association, the BoE supervision. With the number of students to 20% of the speed of growth, intermediary market cake will be more and more, standardize the industry to strengthen supervision is imperative. For some under the guise of consulting well-known, the business intermediary of the gray area, but also need to be standardized to promote the healthy development of the industry.
