? Jinling Evening News reported? If all goes well, our children should be able to get a bachelor's degree from Mediterranean University in Marseille, France next year, but now it's all over. ?

Recently, a Nanjing citizen surnamed Sun complained to this newspaper that his child had been cheated by an agency for studying abroad. He had promised to pay 654.38 million yuan to study in China for two years, so that he could go to the Mediterranean University in Marseille, but the children were still at home and couldn't get out. ?

According to Ms. Sun, there are 2 1 child who have similar experiences with her children. In August 2006, when the French Consulate announced that all 22 students' visas to France were rejected, the children's dream of going to the Mediterranean University in Marseille, France, was shattered.

Marseille is the second largest? Temptation? ?

? France Marseille Mediterranean University, also known as AIX? Marseille II University (hereinafter referred to as Marseille II University) is a famous comprehensive public university in France? The School of Economic Science and Management of the University authorized Jiangsu Education International Exchange Service Center to enroll 60 undergraduates. ?

This project is aimed at high school graduates and college students. In view of the fact that students in this project have no French and professional foundation, this project has specially set up the integrated training of basic French, professional French, basic knowledge of economic management and English application ability before going abroad to ensure that students can smoothly integrate into the French university teaching system in the shortest time. Domestic language training and professional basic training courses are conducted in a fully enclosed form in Dushu Lake Higher Education Town, Suzhou, which has beautiful scenery and first-class facilities. September 2004? French training and related basic courses in China in June 2006; September 2006? June 2008 belongs to the stage of studying in France? The cooperation units of this project include School of Economic Science and Management of Mediterranean University in Marseille, France, Jiangsu Education International Exchange Service Center, France-China Cultural and Educational Exchange Center, Training Center of Gaobo Education Management (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. and Qi Ming Research Institute of the United States. ? In July 2004, many Nanjing citizens who planned to send their children abroad for further study met this book called? Bachelor's degree program in School of Economic Science and Management, Mediterranean University Marseille, France? Admissions brochure. When she came to the newspaper to complain, Ms. Sun showed this enrollment brochure to the reporter.

This booklet lists many advantages of studying in France, including long-standing culture, policy advantages, prospect advantages and price advantages. Ms. Sun told reporters that it was so many advantages that prompted her to help her son choose this project. Immediately, a dozen parents from Nanjing and several parents from Zhejiang and Shanghai helped their children choose this project to study in France.

Registration confirmation?

From Ms. Sun and several other parents who complained to this newspaper with her, the reporter learned that most of these children were high school graduates of that year and had admission notices from domestic universities. In order to study in Marseille No.2 Middle School, they all chose to give up the opportunity to go to domestic universities for further study. When all the materials were reviewed, the pre-admission notice of Marseille No.2 Middle School quickly reached the hands of every child. ?

On August 6th, 2004, all students and their parents who chose this project signed a registration confirmation letter with the training center of Gaobo Education Management (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., which was stamped with the seal of Gaobo Education Management (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. in addition to the signature of each student and their parents. Parents said that there were five cooperative units of this project, but it was specifically the responsibility of Gaobo Education Management (Suzhou) Training Center, and the person in charge of this unit was Chen Chaohui. This training center belongs to Gaobo Education Management (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., and their office is located in Suzhou Dushu Lake Higher Education Park. ?

? On this registration confirmation form, the reporter saw that the registered students of this project are the international students who went to France after being registered by the University of Mediterranean France (hereinafter referred to as Marseille II) through the Jiangsu Education International Exchange Service Center. The training center of Gaobo Education Management (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. is entrusted by the School of Economic Science and Management of Mediterranean University in France, and is responsible for the preparation of the language and professional foundation of economic science and management for these students before studying in France. Students are required to register in Gaobo Education with the acceptance letter from Marseille II University and sign this confirmation letter; At the end of the domestic teaching stage, the second university of Marseille will form a teaching evaluation Committee to comprehensively evaluate the students' scores in various subjects and French proficiency tests. Students who pass the assessment will go to the University of Marseille II in France in September 2006, and will receive corresponding credit relief. All students who have passed the Suzhou stage course audit can get the first-year graduation certificate of the second year of Marseille and go to France to continue their upgrading study.

? After signing the registration confirmation, all 22 children entered Suzhou Dushu Lake Higher Education Park for a two-year study and training. The two-year study in Suzhou is divided into four stages (four semesters). In addition to 500 yuan's registration fee, each student pays 44,000 yuan in the first and second stages. In the third and fourth phases, * * * paid 52,000 yuan. Parents said that they paid for all the money, and they were all looking forward to their children's dream of a French university in two years. ?

? Parents told reporters that they attached so much importance to this registration confirmation letter because it was stamped with the seal of Gaobo Education Management (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. After the incident came out, they wanted to hold a dialogue with Gaobo Education Management (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. with this stamped confirmation letter when their negotiations with Chen Chaohui failed.

Three situations of disillusionment

In August, 2006, just as 22 students completed two years of study and training in Dushu Lake, Suzhou, and were anxiously waiting for their visas to France, all of them got a news that made them extremely depressed: all visas to France were refused by the French consulate, which meant that 22 students lost the opportunity to enter Marseille as sophomores through Gaobo.

Later, my parents came to Suzhou and Shanghai to find out the situation, but they didn't get a satisfactory answer. Half a year has passed, but no one can get a visa to France through Gaobo. Parents who have direct contact with the consul of the French Consulate in Shanghai said that the reason why the French Consulate refused the visa was that Gaobo Training Center did not have the qualification to operate students to study in France. ?

? Ms. Sun told reporters that after the incident, the parents of 22 students were going crazy. They not only went to this company to discuss their views, but also reported the situation to the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Education. Six months later, these 22 students had three different results: seven of them met the requirements in the original registration confirmation and enrollment brochure, but were refused visas. One of the main reasons is that you have to take the French tef exam before going to France, and you have to pass the exam before May 3, 20061. All seven of them did it. Later, with the intervention of a leader of the education department, these seven students passed other exams. Four other students got French visas from other study agents through their parents' efforts, but they went to other universities in France instead of being admitted to Marseille No.2 Middle School. Now there are only 1 1 students left, who are still in China, because there is no way out. ?

Generally speaking, none of the students who finally walked out of school passed Gao Bo. As long as the word gaobo appears on the materials, the French consulate will refuse to sign it. Some children signed several times and didn't leave. In the end, they had to hide their experience of studying in Gaobo for two years through other channels. ? One of the parents said.

? Some children want to cut their parents with a knife.

? From longing to disappointment, children and their parents who have been unable to study abroad so far have suffered too much. ? Life is all messed up? 、? Our children are almost driven out of mental illness, and all the parents who complained that day complained.

Ms. Hu, 47, shed tears and told reporters about the days her family spent in the past six months. Ms. Hu's son is Xiaojun. After graduating from a high school in Nanjing in 2004, she was successfully admitted to a domestic university. Because I had long planned to send my children abroad for further study, my son also wanted to go abroad. Although I got the admission notice, Ms. Hu took her son to the scene at the study abroad consultation meeting that day. Soon, they were attracted by the enrollment brochure of Marseille No.2 Middle School, and they found that there were many discounts. They immediately decided to give up this university in China and go to Marseille No.2 Middle School to study. ?

? You have no idea how excited my son was. All his relatives and good friends know the news that he will go to France to study in two years. We also feel that this is a glorious thing. After my son started school in Suzhou, he invited several tables to celebrate. I didn't expect it to end like this. ? Ms. Hu said that after studying in Suzhou in 2006, they quickly learned that the visa was rejected. At that time, they didn't give up. They asked someone to find a relationship and got a second visa from the consulate. Unexpectedly, they were returned. ?

? In the past six months, I have tried almost everything, and I have found all the relationships I can find, but I still can't get out. ? Ms. Hu said with chagrin that when hopes were dashed again and again, her lively and cheerful son became silent day by day and often got angry with his family inexplicably. ?

On the night of the second visa rejection, Xiaojun smashed many things at home, such as computers and televisions, and then rushed into the room and locked the door to prevent his parents from calling. Father didn't open the door until after 1 1 in the evening. ?

At that time, Xiaojun was lying in bed with a quilt and crying. When his father sat by the bed to persuade him, he suddenly put out his foot and kicked his father down under the bed. Father loved him dearly, knew he was uncomfortable, and didn't scold him. I persuaded him for almost an hour, and when his mood gradually stabilized, he went back to his room to sleep. However, things are not over. ?

Ms. Hu said that at 3 o'clock in the morning, their door was suddenly kicked open by their son. The couple turned on the light and saw their son with a kitchen knife, shouting? Why are you so useless? , while rushing to cut them. ?

? Having said that, Ms. Hu burst into tears. She said that although the knife was taken down later, they were worried that their son would be stimulated and unexpected things would happen again. ?

It is understood that most children who have not left are autistic, silent and inexplicably angry. Speaking of this, my parents' faces are full of worries.

? Negotiate with Suzhou

During the interview, the parents calculated an account for the reporter: if there is no such emergency, their children will graduate next year. In this way, every child was delayed for three years, and during these three years, if you choose to study in China, you can save a lot of money. After going to Gaobo, they not only didn't save money, but also spent 65,438+10,000 in two years. ? We really can't accept that we have to go to Gaobo to discuss this fact. ? Yesterday morning, nearly 20 parents from Nanjing, Zhejiang and Shanghai arrived in Suzhou. After getting the news, the reporter immediately rushed to interview. ?

? The office of Gaobo Education Management (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. is in the comprehensive building of Suzhou Dushu Lake Higher Education Park, and the parents arrived at 9 o'clock. At about 10: 30 in the morning, Hao, deputy general manager of Education Management (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. and chief representative of Suzhou area, took them to the company meeting room to discuss this matter. When the reporters entered the conference room, they had been discussing for nearly 1 hour. ?

? During the conversation, some parents mentioned it? Gao Bo is a black intermediary? In this case, Mr. Hao did not respond positively. According to Mr. Hao, the person in charge of this matter is in the United States, and it is not clear about this matter. ? However, we will be responsible for this matter and give parents a satisfactory statement. ? Mr. Hao said that since the seal on the registration confirmation form is the seal of their company, they will definitely not deny it, but will take a very positive attitude to deal with this matter. Later, he asked all the parents present to make their own demands. ?

Parents whose children have not left so far expressed the hope that Gaobo will refund the tuition fee of 654.38+10,000 yuan and compensate the loss of 500,000 yuan; The parents of four children who left other channels through their own efforts hope that Gaobo will refund the tuition fee of 65,438+10,000 yuan and compensate the loss of 300,000 yuan. The parents of the first seven students who left believe that if Gao Bo can coordinate with them and let their children enter the second and third grades of Marseille this fall, they don't need any explanation. If not, the company will still lose money. ?

? Regarding the parents' demands, Mr. Hao said that all of them have been recorded, and he will bring the matter to the board of directors of the company for discussion within a period of time, and finally give parents a satisfactory answer. ?

? What kind of responsibilities should both sides bear in this incident? Yesterday afternoon, after returning to Nanjing, the reporter consulted the lawyer of Nanjing Branch of Zhonghui Law Firm on this matter. Lawyer Ji believes that in this case, both the parents of the students and Education Management (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. signed or sealed the registration confirmation letter, which is essentially an agreement on the issue of students studying abroad. If Gaobo Education Management (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. is a legally registered company in industry and commerce, but it does not have the corresponding qualifications for students to study abroad and conceals the real situation, the company and the relevant directly responsible personnel may be suspected of contract fraud, and may be investigated for criminal responsibility while bearing civil liability.
