  Recently, on social platforms, there have been a lot of job-seeking information with outstanding resumes, and their job-seeking positions are domestic services that make people feel that they don't need a high degree of education.

  The reporter from the "Rule of Law Daily" combed and found that the average age of these job seekers is between 20 and 30 years old. The labels are bewildering.

  This can't help but make netizens sigh, is the housekeeping industry already so "rolled"?

The reporter recently launched an investigation on this.

Housekeeping company false propaganda

Aroused widespread attention from netizens

  The reporter noticed that in the domestic job-seeking news posted on social platforms, many highly educated people were wearing work clothes with the words "Swan Daojia".

However, the reporter did not find such domestic helpers with consistent information on the "Swan Daojia" App.

  Are there really so many young, highly educated domestic workers on the home economics platform?

  Wang Yang (pseudonym), manager of the training department of a housekeeping company in Beijing, told reporters that according to his more than 10 years of experience in the housekeeping industry, although it cannot be said that there are no housekeepers with a bachelor's degree or above and "post-90s" and "post-00s", there are very few Can encounter, the vast majority are 40 to 50 years old.

  "On the one hand, this has something to do with people's long-standing beliefs that young and educated people should not be nannies for others. Even if young people do do it, they often fail for various reasons. On the other hand, Older people tend to have more life experience and know more about housekeeping than young people, and many employers even name people who have experience in childcare or who are elderly to do housekeeping services." Wang Yang said.

  On social platforms, many netizens also expressed doubts about the authenticity of these young, highly educated nannies.

  According to the "China Household Service Industry Development Report (2018)" released by the Chinese Academy of Labor and Social Security Sciences, 88.6% of my country's domestic service employees are from rural areas, with a relatively large age structure, and the proportion of "post-80s" employees is less than 20%.

At the same time, domestic service employees have high mobility, poor stability, and low educational level, with only 14.1% of them having a high school education or above.

  In May 2021, a housekeeping company announced on social platforms that female graduates from Tsinghua University were looking for jobs as nanny aunts and housekeepers, which aroused heated discussions.

The resume shows that the girl is 29 years old, graduated from Tsinghua University, and once worked as a home assistant.

After the market supervision department found out, the basic information of Tsinghua graduates involved in the commercial propaganda, including names, photos, salaries, and work experience, were all fictitious.

  Sun Chao, a lawyer at Beijing Yinghe Law Firm, said that according to the law, fabricating job applicants' academic qualifications, photos and other information is suspected of false propaganda.

In addition, for the parties whose personal photos have been stolen, their portrait rights may also be violated, and those who cause damage should bear the liability for compensation.

  "Whether it is a company that publishes false information or a platform that provides false information, it should bear corresponding legal responsibilities, which may include civil liability for damages, administrative penalties such as confiscation of illegal gains, fines, and revocation of business licenses. Pursue criminal responsibility in accordance with the law." Sun Chao believes that the market supervision department should establish and improve the advertising monitoring system, improve monitoring measures, and promptly discover and investigate and punish illegal advertising activities in accordance with the law; when consumers and other organizations encounter false propaganda, they can report to the market supervision department. , consumer associations, etc. to report, and conduct social supervision in accordance with the law.

What is called housekeeping is actually tutoring

Illegal subject tutoring

  The reporter searched with keywords such as "tutor", "teaching", "mathematics" and "English" in a number of domestic service apps such as "Swan Home", "Qingxi Home", "Worry Home", etc. Show related businesses.

However, during the search of "58 Daojia", it was found that some merchants provide English private tutoring, and the service types include CET-4 and CET-6, postgraduate entrance examination, college entrance examination, adult college entrance examination, etc.

  After calling and inquiring about the other party, I learned that in addition to adults, they can also tutor foreign language for elementary and middle school students, and the fee is 300 to 500 yuan for an hour and a half.

The tutors are all graduated from the University of Foreign Studies. If there is a need for tutoring in other subjects, they can also help introduce them.

According to reports, some of these teachers have been engaged in extracurricular tutoring, and some are school teachers who work part-time outside the school.

  Wang Yang told reporters that some extracurricular interest tutoring classes such as calligraphy, piano, and violin on some home economics platforms are actually "selling dog meat", and they still conduct extracurricular tutoring in subjects such as language, mathematics, and foreign languages.

  The reporter communicated with some accounts on social platforms that provide housekeeping services, and the other party said that young, highly educated people can be provided for "housekeeping services" as required by the reporter.

Although the resumes of these nannies are not as "powerful" as advertised online, they are more than enough to help children with homework.

The other party also stated that in order to avoid being banned and investigated, they all use "housekeeping" and "growth companions" to promote to the outside world, but the main task is to help children with their homework and create a good learning atmosphere for them.

  According to the consultation, the fees for such domestic workers are not cheap, and the monthly price is mostly between 15,000 and 25,000 yuan.

  Sun Chao said that it is undeniable that some of the domestic workers are truly highly educated, but what is certain is that most of them work as teaching assistants under the title of "highly educated housekeeping aunts" .

  Zhou Xiang, an associate professor at the School of Education of Renmin University of China, said that tutoring activities in the name of "housekeeping auntie" and other subject-related extracurricular tutoring activities do not comply with the "double reduction" policy. Social anxiety requires strict supervision and investigation by relevant departments.

Investigate and deal with illegal training according to law

Sound Mechanism Treats Both Symptoms and Root Causes

  The reporter noticed that the regulatory authorities have taken action on the "barbaric growth" of the tutoring industry.

  In September 2021, in order to guide all localities to resolutely investigate and deal with the invisible variation of subject-based off-campus training, the General Office of the Ministry of Education issued the "Notice on Resolutely Investigating and Dealing with Issues of Disguised Off-Campus Off-campus Training".

It is pointed out that institutions or individuals who violate the relevant regulations of the training subject and have incomplete certificates conduct subject training in the name of consultation, cultural communication, "housekeeping service", "live-in teachers", and "crowdfunding private education" in violation of laws and regulations. be investigated.

  Why is it difficult to completely eradicate tutoring in the cloak of housekeeping?

  Sun Chao believes that in reality, "private tutors" conduct off-campus subject training, often in the form of "one-on-one" and "homestay", under the cover of "high-end housekeeping" and "family housekeeper", which is extremely concealed and decentralized , Variability, it is difficult to define in terms of training objects, training content, training time, training location, training methods, etc.

  "In this regard, we should adhere to the principle of treating both symptoms and root causes, govern according to law, seriously investigate and deal with the conduct of discipline-related training in disguised violations, and at the same time establish and improve a multi-department linkage mechanism and a long-term mechanism to make supervision effective. The Ministry of Education also proposed three Specific measures include the establishment of a discrimination mechanism. For those who clearly violate relevant regulations, education administrative departments at all levels must investigate and deal with them with a clear-cut stand; implement territorial management, and investigate and deal with the invisible variation of subject training in accordance with the principle of "whoever approves, who is responsible" ; To strengthen supervision and law enforcement, all localities should give full play to the role of the special coordination mechanism for the "double reduction" work, strengthen departmental coordination, block linkage, and compact responsibility." Sun Chao said.

  In order to solve the problem of illegal off-campus training from the root, Zhou Xiang believes that, on the one hand, under the legal framework of my country's family education legislation and the law on the protection of minors, we should fully mobilize and increase the supply of diversified education services to meet the diverse educational needs of the people. On the other hand, effectively improve the quality of classroom teaching, improve teaching effects, leave more time for students outside of school for family education and social education, and form a situation where the whole society educates people together.

In addition, more normative and policy documents need to be issued from the perspective of the government to guide the standardized development of off-campus training institutions and off-campus training activities, strictly curb the phenomenon of off-campus training in disguise, and improve the synergy and scientific nature of education law enforcement.

  Sun Chao said: "Parents of students should establish a correct concept of education and success, and realize that physical and mental health, ability and interest are more important wealth than academic performance, so that students can return to school and let their children be moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor-round. Development. The school should strengthen the training of teachers' morality and let teachers take on the responsibility of "teaching and educating people and being a teacher". It is necessary to guide students' off-campus training needs and promote the implementation of the after-school delayed trusteeship policy as soon as possible. It is necessary to provide differentiated A learning environment to meet the individual learning needs of students."

  "On the one hand, it is necessary to regulate the market, supervise and rectify fraudulent and false behaviors, such as strengthening the management of tutoring intermediaries for the transformation of training institutions; effect.” According to Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences, in order to solve the problem of off-campus illegal training from the source, it is still necessary to reform the education evaluation system and establish a multi-evaluation mechanism.
