High recruit season still has to be wary of "fake universities"
【News Essay】
In recent years, through joint crackdowns by the education, public security, and cybersecurity and informatization departments, the vast majority of "fake college" admissions scams for the purpose of fraud have been difficult to continue. However, under the lure of economic interests, people still use "fake universities" to cheat. . Recently, the Ministry of Education once again issued a message to remind people not to believe any lies such as "shortcuts" and "low scores to prestigious schools."
In short, as long as candidates and parents fill in their volunteers according to the college enrollment plan issued by the Provincial Education Examination Institute, they will not encounter "fake universities" at all. Candidates and their parents were deceived by "fake universities". First, they chose schools that enrolled students outside the plan, but failed to see whether the schools had the qualifications to run a school. Second, they could enter prestigious schools through operation with a credulous low score. "The admission notice is foolish; the third is to buy fake diplomas knowing that this is a "fake university" in order to get through the job.
To completely eradicate the living soil of "false universities", in addition to strengthening the crackdown on frauds carried out by the use of "false universities", candidates and parents also need to keep their eyes open, insist on obtaining higher education opportunities through formal admission channels, and do not be superstitious about the so-called enrollment" Unspoken rules".
Regarding the "false universities", some public opinion questioned why such "universities" are emerging one after another, and why don't the education supervision departments cancel these "universities"? Here, it is necessary to figure out what a "false university" is. A "fake university" is a fictitious "university". There is no registration at all, and no specific school address or school activities. Its essence is a "prop" for fraud. This type of "university" can be "established" by scammers in one day. They only need to create a web page. Considering that the scammers like universities in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangdong, "fake universities" also tend to build universities in first-tier cities. Close name. Obviously, this cannot be banned by the education supervision department alone. It needs to be cracked down by the judiciary, the "fake university" website should be cancelled as soon as possible, and the fraud gang behind it should be traced.
Some people interpret "fake universities" as "pheasant universities", but in fact, "fake universities" are not even "pheasant universities". "Pheasant University" can grant academic qualifications, but the academic qualifications granted by it are not recognized. In countries where diplomas are taught by themselves, there is a "Pheasant University" that sells diplomas, but in my country, there is no such thing as a "Pheasant University". Universities and higher education institutions with educational qualifications in China include the following categories: full-time academic education, general higher education, enrolling students through the general college entrance examination; part-time continuing education of academic education, such as open universities and adult colleges, enrolling students through the adult college entrance examination; There are also non-academic higher education training, these institutions provide higher education training and self-study assistance services. These schools and institutions are all qualified. Among them, although some institutions have fraudulent behaviors when enrolling students, the main manifestation of fraud is to confuse the nature of academic qualifications.
Why can "fake universities" without qualifications, school addresses, and school activities also cheat? The main reason is that some candidates do not have high scores in the college entrance examination, but want to enter a prestigious school, so some people regard these candidates and their parents as the targets of fraud. The tactics of fraud are mostly promises to fix internal indicators and use a fake admission notice to fool parents. Others are taking advantage of the disadvantages that candidates and parents do not know about colleges and universities to promote "fake universities" as real universities, so that candidates and parents believe that "you can do it with money." The deceived candidates and parents, whether they are defrauded by "fake universities" or defrauded by behaviors that confuse their academic qualifications, generally have a characteristic, that is, they believe that college recruitment is based on "hidden rules" and can be done by spending money. In fact, colleges and universities have strict procedures for enrollment and admission, and candidates and parents must have a basic understanding of this.
