Chapter 462: Chapter 326 "Raising an Army to Demand Accountability"_2

I’m not sure if Huayuan Technical School and Huayuan Middle Technical School are the same school, but based on the recruitment brochures and the admission notices, they should be formal institutions. Especially Huayuan Vocational School, which is also a key national institution.

The admission notice also looks very formal, with a serial number on top, headed ’Approved by the East Guang Province Enrollment Office’, stamped with the official seal of the East Guang Province College Entrance Examination Committee Office, the school’s seal, and the affixed seal, even specifying that without the affixed seal of the enrollment office, the admission notice is invalid.

Vice Director Li handed over several admission notices provided by the Linghai Police Bureau, then turned the conversation around: "Inter-provincial recruitment is normal, but such recruitment should go through our Linghai Enrollment Office. Yet, we know nothing about it. In a responsible attitude towards our Linghai junior and senior high school graduates, we have several questions to ask everyone.

Firstly, are Huayuan Technical School and Huayuan Middle Technical School the formal institutions described in their recruitment brochures? Do they have the relevant qualifications for running a school, and does the country recognize the diplomas for secondary specialized education and junior college education that students receive upon graduation? Have the corresponding recruitment activities been approved by the East Guang Province Enrollment Office?"

If you go abroad for recruitment, just do it, but why fake under the name of the Enrollment Office!

Director Chen of Gaozhou Education Bureau felt his head swell, glanced back at the head of the Huayuan Academic Affairs Office, and with a cough, said: "Mayor Jiang, Director Li, the technical training part is not under the purview of our Education Bureau. Let me first talk about secondary specialized and junior college education.

Huayuan Technical School and Huayuan Middle Technical School are indeed one and the same school. To my knowledge, Huayuan is currently engaging in joint education with East Guang Higher Vocational College. East Guang Vocational College’s adult education institute has a teaching point in Huayuan, with teaching on our side, and future diplomas to be issued by East Guang Vocational College."

"Adult education?"

"Actually, higher education is not governed by our Education Bureau either. Director Lin, your school’s leadership isn’t here; please report to the leaders from Linghai."

The Academic Affairs director, who had previously hosted Han Yu, calmed himself and began to explain in accented Mandarin.

The qualifications to run a school are there, but not complete; the incomplete parts are in the process.

The "key national" status for vocational training is entirely a promotion, and they’re striving to establish it.

There are indeed educational qualifications, and now many technical schools and vocational schools are engaged in joint education with universities, setting up teaching points, allowing students to obtain diplomas for secondary specialized education and even junior college education through adult college entrance examinations or self-study exams.

As for whether it has gone through the approval of the East Guang Province Enrollment Office, why not recruit through the Linghai City or even the Jiangnan Province Enrollment Office, a long and convoluted explanation was given without clarity.

Even a fool could hear that this school was problematic, but Deputy Mayor Jiang was well aware that his delegation could not play a significant role. The opposing side’s Education Bureau Director just made it very clear that they don’t govern vocational training or the education degree aspect.

Deputy Mayor Jiang took some notes for a while, then turned to look at the deputy director of the accompanying Labor Bureau.

The questions asked by the deputy director of the Labor Bureau were similar to those asked by the deputy director of the Education Bureau, with the only difference being why issue regular admission notices from junior and senior vocational colleges for short-term skills training, and why not arrange work as mentioned during recruitment when students come to enroll.

The person in charge of Gaozhou Labor Bureau simply let Director Lin answer, who once again went off on a tangent in a lengthy speech, emphatically emphasizing that they do a very good job in terms of student employment, with a hundred percent employment rate.

Deputy Mayor Jiang, a female comrade, had never seen such shameless behavior and felt repelled, suggesting that the last name Lin leave first.

Deputy Mayor Wang followed suit, sending away the head of Huayuan’s Academic Affairs Office with a laugh, and said: "Mayor Jiang, this is probably the situation. If you still have doubts, I can arrange for the responsible persons of the relevant departments to accompany you for a site visit to a few schools."

"Mayor Wang, the situation is very clear. They are running schools illegally, recruiting in violation of regulations, and even using the name of your esteemed province’s Enrollment Office, and making false promotions during recruitment!"

Deputy Mayor Jiang raised a newspaper and said unapologetically: "For example, the content promoted in the newspaper, except for the tuition, duration, school address, and contact information, which are true, almost everything else is false. What kind of education is this? It’s all about earning tuition fees."

"Mayor Jiang, with the financial situation so tight and less and less being invested in education, that’s why the state encourages the development of private education. Even public institutions have to charge money; without tuition fees, those schools can’t survive."

"Yes, Mayor Jiang, regarding private education, the superiors have clear regulations allowing for a reasonable return."

"The key is that these schools are neither legal nor reasonable. During recruitment, they talk about targeted training, entrusted training, arranging jobs, but in reality they send graduates or school leavers through agencies to work as assembly line operators in factories. The specializations do not match, the salaries don’t align, and they find various pretexts to charge students all sorts of fees during job placement."

Afraid that Deputy Mayor Wang wouldn’t believe it, Deputy Mayor Jiang turned to look at Commissioner Ding, asking him to report the situation encountered by the deceived students in Binjiang.

Deputy Mayor Wang grew increasingly embarrassed, saying with a heavy heart: "Mayor Jiang, the information you provided is very important. I will report back to Secretary Yang and Mayor Wu as soon as I return. You are responsible for the students, and we are equally responsible. We must rectify this!"

Rectify...

Many rectifications have already been done, but are they useful?

Huang Wenhua muttered to himself in frustration, and Deputy Mayor Wang excused himself, claiming an important meeting, and apologized to the people from Linghai City before leaving first.

The one who made the decisions left, and the rest were just pretending.

Although Deputy Mayor Jiang never had high hopes for tangible results from the discussions, she still felt depressed.

As soon as she returned to the hotel, she knocked on Commissioner Ding’s door and said in a low voice: "Commissioner Ding, this is all we can do. It’s an honor that the managing vice mayor would meet with us and sit down to listen to us. Now it’s up to you."

Whether they’re on a temporary assignment or not, the other party is still a Vice Mayor.

After all, it’s humiliating to have traveled thousands of miles to be treated like a fool by the Vice Mayor.

Commissioner Ding understood the city leaders’ feelings, glanced at his watch with a smile, and said: "Mayor Jiang, don’t be angry. Go out for a walk later, rest well tonight, and they will come to you tomorrow."

"Commissioner Ding, can you please not be mysterious."

"The special zone is about to close the net. Once the two main culprits are arrested, Salted Fish will bring the main force over."

"To catch the accomplices?"

"Yes."

"You saw the situation just now. Do you think it’s that easy to catch someone here?"

"That’s why I asked you to personally lead the team for negotiations."

"You think too highly of me!"

"Don’t worry, there’s always a way."
