British International Children's English boss run away or broken by a capital chain

Recently, the British Special International Children's English closure, the boss "run Away" event became the education and training industry hot news, aroused people's attention. While the UK has reopened last week with the assistance of other training institutions, it is still uncertain. In fact, in recent years, the failure of training institutions, the boss to flee the situation is not uncommon, and the reasons for the failure of institutions are poor, resulting in cash flow fracture, the victims are teachers and students, parents. The incident has left many people thinking about the problems in the training industry. Progress in the same industry assistance, suspension of classes to resume class English international children closed the closure incident, the training institutions gathered Zhi Tao Education group to put forward "moral assistance", April 28, the British international 18 teaching points have been fully restored to class. So far, poly-Wisdom Hall has helped the British special international to solve the problem of rent and teacher wages, to maintain the normal operation of the organization. It is understood that similar assistance is not the first in the industry. such as last year in Shanghai engaged in primary and secondary school tutoring Islab education due to the broken capital chain closed. After two weeks of suspension, the new Oriental Shanghai School signed an industry assistance agreement with ISLAB education, including New Oriental, which will provide thousands of free boutique small-class places according to Islab education trainees. Reporter learned that, in addition to Poly Zhi Tao, there are also some online, online English training institutions are willing to provide a degree of help to the affected students in various forms, such as free one months of one-on-one oral English courses. But until the deadline, there is no real guarantee of student surplus learning measures, some parents also worry about this. Analyze the failure of cost control to break the capital chain fracture it is understood that for the training industry, staff wages and rent is its main cost, once the cash flow problems, it is easy to cause the institution to fail. Jinghan, dean of the Institute of Education, Chao Xiaolin that smaller institutions rely more on cash flow than larger training institutions. "If there is a problem with the operation of the training institutions if the cash flow breaks down, then the organization should be a medium-scale institution, since large organizations have moved from a cash-flow operation model to a profit-operating model." Chao Xiaolin said, there is also a situation, the training institutions of the funds of the various sectors have not been designed, cost control is poor, or the judgment of the market prospects problems, leading to business difficulties. "For example, some institutions cost structure, profit model has not been completely established to blindly expand, did not control the cost to a reasonable proportion." The rental of office space in these years is bullish, in this case the cash chain is very easy to appear problems. "It is understood that in order to avoid the broken cash chain, to cope with the possible concentration of withdrawal fees, difficulties in recruitment and other conditions, many large training institutions often have independent audit departments, as well as risk funds." As Mr Yu, the new Oriental, has said, the basic principle that the new Oriental has always grasped is that the disposable cash on the books must be able to withstand the most extreme problems that may occur at any time. "Cash flow is filling the enterprise, the fund chain will not break." "In addition, the education sector is also considering the introduction of a margin system, enterprises in the application for training institutions, must be in the bank-specific accountSave a sum of money, by the education authority supervision, once there is a sudden situation, the use of this money to rehabilitate. Remind to check the school qualification, avoid the cross-annual payment in Beijing Longan law firm lawyer Yinfujiang pointed out that for consumers, the current legal rights is not too strong. Compared with the cost of protecting the rights of consumers, the cost of violating the law of training institutions is lower. So consumers should enhance their awareness of prevention, as far as possible to avoid their own rights are violated. In the interview, the reporter found that many parents in the selection of training institutions for their children do not know how to check the training institutions of the school qualification, in the newspaper class is also easy to be tempted by the interests of straddling fee. Beijing Private Education Association secretary General Machore remind consumers, in the choice of education and training institutions must see whether the other party has issued a school license, whether the license is valid, whether there is an annual inspection. There are a number of organizations that are registered only in the business sector, and the Ministry of Education is more rigorous in its vetting of training institutions. After similar problems have arisen in the training institutions registered in the education sector, the BoE has stepped in to help teachers and students to divert to other training institutions. At the same time, parents try not to straddling fee. Compare before you sign up. After the payment to save good documents for the protection of the use. "For training institutions, we must respect the laws of education, do not blindly expand." "We also call on agencies not to charge for Machore, and students ' advances should be used to improve the quality of teaching rather than other uses such as financial management," he said. "After this incident, the government departments of education and training institutions will be more stringent norms." Questioning the high risk of training prepaid consumption in the British special international event, parents said that once for children to pay 6 years of tuition fees, nearly 70,000 yuan, and paid tens of thousands of yuan tuition of parents. These parents will suffer significant losses once the training institutions fail. As a result of this incident, the training industry's prepaid and yearly pay systems have also been questioned. At present, the training industry is the implementation of the annual pay fee system, some institutions in order to raise more funds, through discounts to attract parents to pay for years of tuition. Hu Gang, a Chinese consumer lawyer, said in an interview with the media that in respect of prepaid fees, the Consumer Protection Act of 1993 and the new Law on protection of consumers ' rights and interests, the provisions are basically consistent, that is, the operator to provide goods or services in advance payment, should be provided according to the agreement, Failure to comply with the agreed provision shall be in accordance with the requirements of the consumer to fulfill the agreement or return the advance, and shall bear the interest on the advance, and the consumer must spend reasonable expenses. "Now the general implementation of training education prepaid is not a refund or a few classes after the completely unreasonable, this is a unilateral give out a condition, and this condition often will not be embodied in the contract, and I think even in the contract reflected also because it infringed the interests of consumers, can be found to be invalid terms. "Hu Gang said. Some people in the industry pointed out that the main reason for training institutions to implement this system is the problem of teacher scheduling. "At present, teachers in private institutions are not like the teachers of public schools,Have the protection and support of national policy. The institution will be able to stabilize the teacher through the scheduling system to advance the teachers ' fees through tuition fees. It is reported that the South Korean training education industry has a monthly tuition fees. The training and education market also appeared a third-party intermediary platform similar to Alipay to help students control the risk of payment, or even try to implement the "pay before learning" model. In this regard, Poly Zhi Tao Education Group vice President Ouyanglei that in the future must be a trend. "The pattern of future education must be to understand the nature of education with internet thinking, to promote service, and to pay for goods," the form should be a trend. However, at present, a year for the period of payment is more reasonable, which is conducive to the healthy development of training institutions, consumer risk can be minimized. "October 2013, Beijing Han Lin New thinking dongzhimen, on the ground, the people's University and the Princess grave four branches at the same time close the door, roll away more than 40 students million yuan tuition fees." Beijing News reporter Wang Shuqun chain close to the annual education and training institutions "run away" event October 2013, Beijing Han Lin New thinking dongzhimen, on the ground, the people's University and the Princess grave four branches at the same time close the door, and posted a "internal business problems, decided to close to liquidation" notice, roll away more than 40 students million yuan tuition fees. November 2013, 15 years of history of Islab education in Shanghai for primary and secondary schools because of the broken capital chain closed, the boss to flee and arrears of staff wages. February 2014, the Beijing pilot thought training institutions suddenly closed down. It is understood that the training body was established in May 2013, due to mismanagement and forced to suspend classes, the arrears of nearly 40 students to the parents of the total cost of about 300,000 yuan. February 2014, Chongqing Yuzhong Language Training School (referred to as "pumpkin English") due to bankruptcy closure caused by a dispute, resulting in hundreds of of parents containment agencies, resulting in chaos on the scene. Expert opinion teaching opacity is the greatest risk Zhao Xiao Lin, Jinghan, Director of Education Institute in fact, to consumers, I think the biggest risk is not prepaid, but the teaching process is not transparent. Training institutions should be transparent in all aspects of the teaching process, can timely let parents understand the situation of children, this is conducive to parents to carry out the process of withdrawal fees, to avoid accumulation of risk. This also requires institutions to establish a good mechanism for the withdrawal, the courage to return fees. Some students in the institutional learning effect is not ideal, institutions will say that learning is a long-term process, all learned will have effect, I think should not take this as an excuse. Any good organization or teacher may not be suitable for a student, if the result of the withdrawal fee, the delay is the student's time. Concerned about the institutional teaching system and core project Ouyanglei, Poly Zhi Tao Education Group Vice President Poly Zhi Tao in the first time after the incident with the top of the British international contacts, and is willing to "aid" in the form of helping the British international through the crisis. Poly-Chi Tang did so in order to "maintain the credibility of the education and training industry." If the training institutions do not fulfill their commitments and lose their credibility, they will have a great negative impact on the development of the whole industry. On the other hand, when selecting a training institution, the homeLong can also be concerned about the institutions of the teaching system and projects are not constantly updated, is not a pluralistic development. In the current trend under the rut, single development is likely to go downhill. The expansion of some training institutions and their increasing size suggests that their influence is widening. Consumers want to see whether these institutions have independent development of the core projects, if there is no core products and teaching system, the development of imitation is also prone to problems. Foreign experience Japan's access and regulatory system is complete in Japan, similar to China's various external training institutions are called "learning". In order to ensure the orderly and healthy development of the study, Japan has developed a comprehensive legal system for the admission and supervision of the School of Learning, and has administered and supervised the law. As the study of the school is a for-profit enterprise, it must be subject to the relevant economic regulations, such as the "Company Law", "specific Business Transactions Act", "Consumer contract Law", "improper gifts and improper means of prevention," and so on. The content stipulated in these laws and regulations mainly covers the legal responsibilities and obligations of the students, and protects the consumer's personal information and legitimate rights and interests. In addition to the laws and regulations, the industry organizations-the National Association of Learning Society, will also carry out the industry's internal norms and self-discipline. The National Association of Learning Society has developed a "study of the system of certification and certification benchmark", which emphasizes the self-discipline of the organizers ' behavior. The association also carries out a certification system for every two years of the school, and makes a yellow card for those who do not. The association has also developed a number of industry benchmarks, mainly to strengthen the social responsibility of the organizers, requiring them to comply with the ethics of the industry, strictly prohibit the release of exaggerated or false advertising to induce or deceive consumers to read study and so on. In addition, the Japanese Government actively promote and promote the construction of credit system, so that Japan has become the world's recognized credit system more perfect country. National Credit awareness is very strong, the vast majority of learning will not easily let their own credibility suffered a "stain." Korea's withdrawal time is not forced to retain South Korea's training institutions attach great importance to student withdrawal fees. If some schools require teachers in the students to return the fee before the 3 months, it is necessary to know the signs of student withdrawal, in the imminent refund of this 3 months, teachers should pay special attention to them, can retain to retain, can not detain never forcibly. In addition, the school has set up a service centre for students and parents to collect feedback from students and parents. When choosing a training institution, it is important to see if the other party has a school license issued by the Education Department, whether the license is valid and whether there is an annual inspection. At the same time, parents must be wary of paying for a straddling fee. --Machore, Secretary-General of Beijing Private Education Association
