Investigation

The "Network Pulse Project" is in dispute

South are hearing Rong GUI primary school marketing "K Tease Guardian", let "network Pulse Project" again presented in front of the public. This is not the first project to "build a group of minors healthy Internet practice base" in the controversy. Relevant information shows that the launch of the event soon after the parents questioned, some of the promotion staff in the name of the national Ministry of higher prices to promote products, and even the way school-enterprise cooperation to force parents to buy.

Outreach efforts highlight the nature of public welfare

In the public report, "China's Minor Network project (hereinafter referred to as the ' Net-Pulse project ')" is declared by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Culture, concerned about the next generation of the Committee, including a number of central ministries and offices jointly launched a "long-term implementation of the national project." According to the introduction, the project was launched on May 30, 2006, aimed at "advocating civilized Internet access, civilized network, effective prevention and quit Internet addiction."

The project website provides information showing that its guidance unit includes the National Shao, Ministry of Education, such as 10 central units, 11 host units are also most of the national ministries and departments of the Department of agencies, and to the specific contractors, in addition to the "Medium and small Business New Media Center", the other two is called "Beijing Network Pulse Century Technology Co., Ltd.", " Beijing Zhonghai Network Pulse Education Technology Development Co., Ltd. "enterprises.

Data show that from 2007 onwards, the project began to vigorously promote the operation nationwide. From the relevant reports can be seen, most of these promotional activities in the "Network Engineering XX Line" of the way to start, the establishment of "network pulse practice base." Only the project site "Milestones" column records, the extension of the project is now more than 15 provinces, districts and prefecture-level cities.

Looking at these initiation ceremonies, most of the local Communist Youth League, Education department responsible participation, and in order to highlight the nature of the public good, the organizers will announce the launch ceremony to the "network of Practice base" for millions of of donations, but the main form of donation is mainly related to the development of software, that is, "learning resources." There are no open statistics to participate in the construction of "practice base" of the number of primary schools, it is reported that only on December 6, 2008, "Network engineering Yunnan" Launch ceremony, there are 14 primary schools to become the first practice base.

Parents question selling is the purpose

With this vigorous promotion posture relative photo, it is part of the parents ' objections. Internet search shows that from 2008 onwards, the parents began to post on the internet to complain about "network Pulse engineering" flavor. If each student has paid 2660 yuan, "How can this astronomical project be called a ' public good '"? In the Forum of Jiujiang, Jiangxi, netizens "YuYu" June 6, 2009 has posted a question "received 2660 yuan to change the taste of the" Minors Network Project "report."

He said that the day he attended the children's school organized to parents to promote participation and use of "Network Pulse Project" report, "just started to feel that the school organized this activity is really good to help children resist bad Internet behavior ... But the report finally to each participating parents sent a form, said to pay 2660 yuan to enjoy the service, do not feel puzzled this is a public works, how to charge such a high fee? Netizen "Blue Star Ye Hui" feeling is, "rarely shows how to ensure that minors healthy access to the Internet, but rather to brag about how to give children the benefit of learning", "can't wait to collect money," it is not like a public works, but like a naked business activities. "

According to the project of the user to provide the statement: "To join the network Pulse project, parents need to pay a one-time network operating fee of 3260 yuan (National unified pricing), the campus bank only once pay the network operating fee of 3260 yuan. Use to high school graduation, the middle does not charge (on-site 100 yuan, priority installation, enjoy 2660 yuan preferential price) ".

One-time buyout 12

Similar to the Ronggui Primary school, in the "Network Pulse project" promotion, many have local schools directly involved in the shadow. Yunnan "Spring City Evening News" This year, August 30, a "Network Pulse project" is the name of the false public goods, the report, citing the local grand primary school parents, questioned the project to school-enterprise cooperation in the way "kidnapping" parents have to participate.

It is reported that a grand primary school students "class was suddenly told to open the ' Network Pulse Engineering class ', and requested a one-time buyout 12, the cost is 2660 yuan." And with the parents after the exchange, "her feeling is that enterprises to sell a commodity through the school to parents, but also playing the banner of public welfare."

According to the Grand View, the school is in the light of other primary school "' Network engineering class ' effect is very good", arduous to win the experimental group quota. As for the reason why we should use the product of "NET Pulse Project", the headmaster thinks that this project is promoted by the Ministry of Education and is "trustworthy".

It is reported that the parents finally let the children give up participating in the experimental class. According to Wentao, director of the Kunming Promotion Center of the project, the project insists on the principle of voluntariness in the promotion process, but the "public good" is an emphasis on the use of the network education resources in schools, if the use of home, you have to continue to pay, and 2660 Yuan is only a service charge.
