The annual college entrance examination has just ended, and "how to fill in the application form" has become another multiple-choice question before candidates and parents.
html On June 23, the Ministry of Education issued an early warning: We solemnly remind all candidates and parents that there are institutions or individuals in the society that carry out "high-priced" voluntary filling in consultation activities for candidates and parents. There are inaccurate policy interpretations and inaccurate information provided. Problems such as irregular fee collection and even fraud.The Ministry of Education also emphasized that relevant departments have never issued professional qualification certificates such as "College Entrance Examination Volunteer Planner". Some of the agency's so-called "volunteer planners" are temporarily recruited social workers who provide guidance to candidates and parents according to the "lines" provided by the headquarters. Parents who purchase the services of these agencies not only waste money, but may also report the wrong application.
An investigation by the Beijing News Shell Finance reporter also found that in the emerging industry of college entrance examination voluntary application filling services, it is difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake institutions. Each order charges thousands to tens of thousands of yuan. Some people who have received voluntary application filling services also say that it is not worth it. . The emerging profession of "College Entrance Examination Volunteer Planner" is also full of chaos. You can get a professional qualification certificate by paying for training. The authenticity of some certificates is difficult to verify, and the institutions that endorse it are also doubtful.
The college entrance examination application filling service is expensive . Each order charges thousands to tens of thousands of yuan
In the near future, various places will successively release the 2022 college entrance examination results and start the college entrance examination application filling work. And some so-called college entrance examination application filling service agencies and "college entrance examination volunteer planners" also smell the smell of money. In addition to the so-called offline institutions in the education and tutoring industry, even some major Internet companies have also entered the college entrance examination voluntary application service track.
Beijing News Shell Finance reporter found that there are currently no clear industry standards and qualification requirements for college entrance examination volunteer planners. "College Entrance Examination Volunteer Planners" generally have a low threshold for employment, but their fees are high.
An organization in Tianjin that provides college entrance examination volunteer application services told the Beijing News shell financial reporter, "With a college degree and 0 work experience, you can take our college entrance examination volunteer planner online training course. After completing the course, you can work in our The platform accepts orders and allocates students. "
Many institutions told reporters that the fees for each order range from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan.
A teacher Zhang who claimed to have 11 years of experience in volunteer application services told the Beijing News Shell Finance reporter: "The one-on-one full application service is 7,000 yuan, and the cost of answering all questions about the college entrance examination application within two hours is 2,000 yuan Yuan.”
An industry insider told the Beijing News Shell Finance reporter: “Generally, for one-on-one voluntary reporting services, parents in first-tier cities have strong economic strength and the fees are higher. Parents in second-, third- and fourth-tier cities have smaller purchasing power and the fees are higher. It is also correspondingly lower. However, there are cases where the price of in some fourth-tier cities is more expensive than that in first-tier cities. The reasons are very complicated. "
The quotation of another college entrance examination candidate designer also confirmed this industry insider's view. The quoted price ranges from 6,800 to 12,800 yuan, and the price fluctuates depending on the province where the candidate is located. When it was learned that the reporter was a candidate in the Beijing area, the college entrance examination volunteer planner quoted a price of 12,800 yuan.
Can the expensive "College Entrance Examination Volunteer Application Filling Service" properly meet the needs of candidates and parents?
Beijing News Shell Finance reporter found that some college entrance examination voluntary application filling service agencies only provide voluntary application filling service suggestions, but are not ultimately responsible for the admission results, and may even mislead candidates.
Jin, a classmate from Shanghai, told the Beijing News Shell Finance reporter that the consulting services provided by the college entrance examination volunteer planner he spent a lot of money to provide were full of the planner's personal bias. He promoted one university while disparaging the strength of another. The university misled him when filling in the application form.
Liu, a student from Gansu, spent 6,000 yuan in June 2018 to purchase a one-on-one customized college entrance examination volunteer application service provided by an organization. He told the Beijing News Shell Finance reporter that this kind of one-to-one customized service is completely worthless. "They will provide reference plans based on my needs and do a career assessment. Although I can always consult with that institution from the time the scores come out to the completion of filling out the application, I feel that my application is not filled in perfectly.Because they only defined the range of schools and professional recommendations for me based on the scores and other data in previous years. The final choice was determined by me. Even if I bought a volunteer application card that cost several hundred yuan, the effect would be the same. I gave up the 985 University in a remote area and chose a and non- university in a first-tier city. The result was not ideal. If they had suggested that I go to a 985 university, my future might have been different. ”
The training of college entrance examination volunteer planners is chaotic: the certificates are fake, and some training institutions are counterfeiting “Chinese prefix” institutions issuing certificates
Many institutions that provide college entrance examination volunteer application filling services are also engaged in the training business of college entrance examination volunteer planners, such as Blue Whale International Education, Xiangyang Life and other institutions.
The institutions that provide "College Entrance Examination Volunteer Planner" training are also mixed, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

As long as they meet the assessment requirements after completing the course, they can get the 'College Entrance Examination Volunteer Planner (Advanced) Certificate' produced by the 'Senior Management Talent Training Center of the China Academy of Management Sciences'." And you can sign a contract with the platform to become a part-time 'College Entrance Examination Volunteer Planner'. "
The training fee quoted by this institution was 4,980 yuan. A few days later, when the staff of the training institution discovered that the reporter had no intention of paying for the training course, they took the initiative to lower the price to 3,980 yuan, urging the reporter to take advantage of the promotion to place an order.
When a reporter asked whether the certificate was recognized by the country, the staff member told the reporter, “Both the country and the industry recognize our certificate. "
In fact, the relevant departments have never issued professional qualification certificates such as "College Entrance Examination Volunteer Planner".
The staff member provided the Beijing News Shell Finance reporter with a certificate printed with "Senior Management Talents of the China Academy of Management Sciences" The vocational skills training certificate for professional talents supervised by the "Training Center" in March 2022, the professional name is: College Entrance Examination Volunteer Planner.

How consumers avoid pitfalls and lightning

Keep evidence calmly and calmly, and defend your rights rationally and in accordance with the law. Also try not to purchase information related to the 'College Entrance Examination Volunteer Planner'" Training services. A single order costs thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. Why don’t training institutions make the money themselves? Impulsiveness is the devil. Pies in the sky will not fall, but there will be traps on the ground, so consumers must be careful. Learn to avoid pitfalls and avoid lightning.”
Liu Junhai also believes that the country should introduce relevant laws and regulations to regulate the mixed market of college entrance examination volunteer application services. At present, there are certain regulatory blind spots and vacuum zones in this industry. Although markets can fail, regulators should not. When the market fails, regulatory authorities should step forward and use the authority granted by law well, fully and fully to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. We will take a clear-cut stance to crack down on and sanction illegal college entrance examination voluntary application services that infringe on consumer rights. The Consumer Association should also do a good job in relevant consumer warning work, and do a good job in private mediation for disputes that have arisen.
