In November 2008 in the United Kingdom occurred in the collective Chinese students have been expelled from the scandal. Newcastle University in November 11 that year in September will be enrolled in 50 Chinese students expelled. Dismissed because: the students through the application documents have been forged or tampered with results. Forged documents were in English language certificate or diploma issued by other universities. The school, said: high quality of forged documents, so that admissions departments can not be discovered through routine inspection.
According to “China Daily” reporter learned that most of these fake diploma from a number of Overseas Education intermediary. What Chinese students studying the phenomenon of fake diploma how serious, how big the market, this reporter visited the lines of some of the “experts.”
Kim xx head of consulting firm studying Mr Leung told reporters: manufacturing fake diploma is not illegal in the United Kingdom, the company is no obligation to make a statement as long as: customers using fake diplomas (certificates) conducted illegal, has nothing to do with the diploma production company, which from the a legal exemption by looking back. Reporter to verify the legal experts, the answer is true. Like a number of universities in the United Kingdom does not exist in many countries actually awarded a university degree, and these universities as long as the brochure of the corners on the little note on the description of a line stating that the school is not recognized by the British Ministry of Education, you can become very popular. Chinese students a huge demand for fake diplomas
Mr Leung told reporters: British Chinese students great market potential. He gave worked out an account, the University of Reading in the UK every year undergraduate, master of Chinese students (including mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan) no less than 70000 people. Each year, about one-fifth of people are not doing well need to make-up, these people have as many as 15,000 people, of which at least 5,000 make-up is useless, and will not graduate can not get a diploma. So there are a number of these people need to get a diploma to return to their parents accountable.
Another study of Chen and his intermediary told reporters that the Chinese in Britain the number of diploma students need to leave the month of each year up to 7,8 and really not much use in the United Kingdom. As for prices, is reflect market conditions, while also ranking schools according to the degree of the University in general may be two or three hundred pounds, Oxford, Cambridge is not four, 500 pounds Nabuxialai, if the education department but also proof that, on your Test Report Form a lot.
Mr Leung said two to three years because the United Kingdom Immigration Advisory Board in the campaign leave an intermediary, to do this line less and less, so clear up a lot of intermediary costs.
Where is the root of fake diploma?
The phenomenon of fake diploma students has existed for many years, the Chinese Ministry of Education has also taken many measures to combat it, including most notably in the education department of the establishment of the Embassy Diploma registration. Students graduating from the education department before returning to go to the registration, approval, and once sent a proof, then the student materials related to graduate into the Ministry of Education database, employers in China are available online.
However, Mr Leung and Mr Chan had told reporters that they ask for fake diplomas to local administrative officials mostly children, most of them do not return to work up to society, there is no employer would verify the authenticity of diplomas. Are also some students think only of the immediate back home with their parents wish, are fundamentally not thought about the future will use these fake diplomas.
2 itself is also fake experts to disclose their students, they believe the prospects for this industry is still very good, more and more students, but not everyone is studious, not everyone can graduate, they have to face the right their high expectations parents. The need to market niche. Clearly, the fake diploma will be a fairly long period of time British flying.
Education Department, an official with the embassy told this reporter that the proliferation of fake diplomas are complex reasons, the Chinese parents, students need to rethink where the root causes of this cancer?
