A Chinese university
information website has identified and released a list of 118 fake universities
from China's 25 provinces and regions including Beijing, Shanghai and Jiangsu. This
is the 4th such list released by Sdaxue.com.
The
alleged fake universities are exposed following the announcement of the test
results for China's annual college entrance exam or "Gaokao". All
the universities listed are not registered with China's Ministry of Education
and thus have no licenses to either accept students or award college degrees. 39
of all the 118 alleged fake universities listed have the word
"Beijing" in their names.
China Daily report continues:
The
exposed schools have used deceptive names and official websites that are
similar to real, well-known universities. Many of them also copied photos and
website information such as school introductions, majors, department,
enrollment and career plan from real accredited universities.
Shen
Jiangping, the director of web content of sdaxue.com said that the list was
compiled based data collected by the company or information reported by
netizens. They also verified the list by checking the data base of the Ministry
of Education before publishing it.
According
Sdaxue.com, most of the victims swindled by these fake universities are either
students who have poor performances in Gaokao but still want to be
enrolled in universities, or students who are tempted to skip higher education
and just obtain a diploma for better job opportunities.
From 2013 to 2014,
Sdaxue.com has exposed 210 fake universities, most of which have been banned by
the Ministry of Education and local education authorities.
