If you mention "Xi 'an Translation Institute" to people outside the education circle, the people who hear it may be at a loss. However, if this name is mentioned in the education circle, many people who don't know the truth will describe it as "resounding". Perhaps they will say that this school, and many people who have heard of it will think of the aura hanging over its head-what is the best private university in China, the Silicon Valley of a famous school in China, and even some funny names, such as "Oriental Harvard" and the surprising "prestigious school with the best students". These auras put on a beautiful coat for the external publicity of Xi 'an Translation Institute.
These beautiful coats are either put on by themselves or bought by others.
However, anyone who really knows Xi 'an Translation Institute knows that this private school is actually a really disgusting school under the seemingly beautiful coat. Many people who really know Xi 'an Translation Institute are dismissive of this school, and even mention it makes them feel sick. There is a professor at Xi Jiao Tong University, whose vernacular is very representative-"Xi 'an Translation Institute"-a rubbish school, with a group of braggadocio, a group of boastful teachers and a group of numb students. "This represents many people's views on Xi 'an Translation Institute.
Perhaps many people will have questions-this seems to be inconsistent with the propaganda. Isn't China XX Daily often reporting the excellence of the school and the achievements of the principal?
We are often deceived by printed words and fame, so that we still don't know after being deceived. What kind of school is Xi 'an Translation Institute? How authentic is its propaganda? Should I go to this school? After reading this article, I believe you will get a correct answer.
Let me start with the private higher education in China. In 1980s, in order to solve the contradiction that the proportion of college entrance examination is too low and the proportion of young people who have received higher education is too small, the state allowed private institutions to offer higher education. However, because private colleges and universities can't be recognized by the society at first, private higher education depends on higher education self-study examination, that is to say, private colleges and universities are actually auxiliary institutions of higher self-study examination education to some extent. However, in the 1990s, in order to support the development of private colleges and universities, the state introduced the academic examination system, hoping that private higher education could be linked with national recognition.
However, in fact, there has been a considerable deformity in China's private higher education from conception to development, which has led to the deformity of China's private higher education.
First of all, private colleges and universities in China are basically founded by individuals or a few people, and their initial purpose is mainly economic interests, which means that the establishment of private colleges and universities is actually for profit. The decision-making of the founders of a few private colleges and universities is mainly based on economic interests. In fact, this kind of private higher education has been deformed since it was conceived, and it is absolutely impossible to run education well for the purpose of economic interests. It is because economic interests take precedence and are not controlled by the state that what private colleges and universities do is really disgusting. There is basically no requirement for enrollment. A student can get to 600 yuan, go to the railway station to intercept students from other schools, and even send some "spies" to other private universities to "rebel" and so on. Its confusion is obvious in the class.
Secondly, private colleges and universities are at the bottom of society, so they are not taken seriously, and even the state society does not recognize them at all. Its students graduated without formal status. Some private universities may even disappear after finishing their studies this year and next.
Finally, the teaching facilities of private colleges and universities lag behind the strength and quality of teachers and the quality of students. Many private universities have no formal teachers at all. They are all part-time teachers invited from other places. What is even more ridiculous is that farmers who have enrolled in a primary school culture have taught students in private universities, and even some ordinary students in other regular universities. Students in private colleges and universities have met countless teachers after finishing college, but they don't know any of them. Of course, the students from private universities are really disgusting. Because economic interests are given priority, there is almost no requirement for students admitted to private colleges and universities, as long as they are people. The quality is really flattering. As a teacher who once taught in a private university said, "They are all outdated products. Do you think you can learn anything? " ? It is good to know that 1 plus 1 equals 2. Going to a private college can show how stupid it is. "Of course, this statement does not exclude personal emotional factors, but the quality of students in private colleges and universities is undeniable. In addition, compared with regular universities, private universities have almost no normal teaching equipment. Some university campuses are as small as a few acres, with several classrooms and no other teaching facilities.
In fact, according to the university standards of all regular universities in China, private universities in China can hardly be called universities.
Speaking of private colleges and universities in China, we can use a few words to describe them: "backward facilities, poor quality of teachers and students, chaotic management and low social recognition."
From the establishment of higher education diploma examination in private universities to the abolition of higher education diploma examination in 2004, the state is actually denying the educational achievements of private universities.
The main reasons why Chinese private universities can't be compared with foreign private universities are as follows: first, foreign private universities either started earlier than public universities or started at the same time with public universities; Secondly, the ownership of foreign private colleges and universities is the board of directors, which belongs to the society to a great extent, while the colleges and universities different from China belong to a minority.
Private education in China is backward and chaotic, and it is not even worth discussing.
From this point of view, even by the standards of ordinary universities, Xi 'an Institute of Translation is not commendable at all, and does not even belong to one of the universities in China.
Let's look at Xi 'an's private education.
Generally speaking, Xi city is backward. Moreover, the gap with the developed areas in China, especially the eastern and southern coastal areas, is not calculated by years, but almost by generations. Xi is a city with backward information, unclear internal division of government functions, low efficiency and backward consciousness. Since the "western development", it has not actually achieved much effect, which is actually caused by people's quality, consciousness and thought.
Because Xi 'an is located in a backward area in the west, it is difficult for Xi 'an to really have advanced affairs. In terms of educational development, the gap with the western region is even greater. The simplest example, Shanghai Jiaotong University 1956 adjustment, most of the resources moved to Xi 'an to establish Xi 'an Jiaotong University. In the early 1980s, Xi Jiaotong University was still far ahead of Shanghai Jiaotong University and many universities in China. However, so far, Shanghai Jiaotong University is far ahead of Xi Jiaotong University, which is generally regarded as an authentic "Jiaotong University". This is related to the geographical location of the university.
Geographical location has greatly affected the level of educational development in this area. Therefore, the development of private education in Xi is inherently inadequate. However, Xi is one of the regions with the largest number of private colleges and universities in China. This contradiction is really puzzling. It's actually very simple, because it's profit-driven. To some extent, Xi 'an is conducive to the development of "education industry", but it is an "industry" rather than a "cause". There are three advantages: first, local protectionism and bureaucratic corruption make it easy to get approval and land for running private education in this area; Second, the quality of residents and the proportion of college admissions are low, and there are many students who fail in the college entrance examination, which is easy to recruit students and raise funds; Third, the living standard is backward, and it is easy to find part-time teachers. Especially the first point, you will find that the private colleges and universities in Xi 'an are run by some local people. Moreover, unlike private universities in Beijing, private universities in Beijing were run by some qualified old professors at first, while many founders of private universities in Xi 'an were not of high quality, and even many of them had never received higher education. In the black-box operation supported by local protectionism and corruption, it is easy to obtain land for establishing private universities. Now, China began to criticize the enclosure behavior of "University Town" everywhere. In fact, the enclosure movement of Xi 'an University Town has ended, but farmers have quietly accepted this reality. Backward areas are backward after all. Xi 'an Translation Institute was built on this once cultivated land.
But in fact, Xi 'an's private colleges and universities are the most chaotic. Someone once described it as "extraordinary chaos". "In Xi 'an's private colleges and universities, everyone has it, and anything can happen. "Unlike the chaos in private universities in Beijing, the chaos in private universities in Beijing is visible and widely reported by the media. Finally, a considerable number of private colleges and universities were eliminated, leaving only one third. However, due to the backwardness of Xi 'an, the outside world and even Xi 'an locals can't see clearly the situation of Xi 'an private colleges and universities. The media take money to do things, and officials take bribes. In this state, many people are deceived by private colleges and universities in Xi 'an. Sometimes even deceived by the name of the school. What Eurasian College, Oriental Cambridge College, Xijing University, when I was in college, a classmate once joked that "Peking University is a world famous brand; Nanjing University, a world-famous brand; World famous brand Tokyo University; Xijing University, junk brand. "
The aura of Xi 'an Translation Institute is largely due to the invisible chaos in Xi 'an private colleges.
The dean of Xi 'an Translation Institute mentioned below is a braggart. He once boasted (of course, it was normal for him): "Xi 'an is the Silicon Valley of private higher education in China". A secretary of the Ministry of Education in People's Republic of China (PRC) said with a smile: "He should say that Xi 'an is Bermuda and Somali of private higher education in China."
After reading the above, maybe you can learn about Xi 'an's translation from the outside. But from below, you will see the real situation of Xi 'an Translation Institute, a private university supported by lies.
Like many private colleges and universities, Xi 'an Translation Institute started with deception from its establishment to the anti-exhibition stage. 1996 when I was still studying in Xi' an, I once saw Xi' an Translation College recruiting "enrollment representatives" from various universities and took a look with a try attitude. When I arrived, the teacher of the school took out an enrollment brochure and some reports, briefly described some enrollment methods, and said, "The treatment situation is 10, with 65,438 600 yuan per student. I asked casually, "Are there any requirements, such as grades?" The answer is: "No, try to recruit. "
There is no requirement for grades, even for students. It is an obvious feature of the education industry to recruit students without knowing their backgrounds.
However, the school's enrollment brochure really says, "Speaking is better than singing." What high employment rate, high pass rate, beautiful campus, and a large number of computer-generated architectural renderings. Now that I think about it, Xi 'an Translation Institute has been enrolling students by cheating from the beginning.
However, deception and deceptive propaganda are really much better now. Through a lot of bribes and money, it put on beautiful clothes. The most special example is China Youth Daily, a newspaper that once had an important influence on young people in China. It was the first propaganda tool of Xi 'an Translation Institute. Especially from May to September every year, there is a special edition publicity of Xi 'an Translation Institute almost every few days. Note that this kind of publicity is advertising, but the layout seems to be a report, so as to convince more people that its content has not been verified at all, and sometimes it is even disgusting. Many people are very disgusted with this practice of China Youth Daily, and even bluntly say on the Internet that "there must be personal economic interests." But as a result, the influence of this newspaper in China people, especially young people, is greatly reduced.
This is not just a newspaper. In fact, driven by economic interests, many news organizations support Xi 'an Translation Institute. Some people say that the news media will probably praise the school to the sky. A teacher who once worked part-time in Xi 'an Translation Institute once said that the school "had some news media coming in at some time, all of which were warmly welcomed by the principal, then greeted them with a banquet, and then turned around and left. It came out when I went back to report. Of course, what they wrote was what Ding Zui said. There was no investigation. I don't know what is behind it. "
Of course, some journalists with professional ethics made unannounced visits to Xi 'an Translation Institute and wrote very objective reports, but they were taken to court by Xi 'an Translation Institute.
The deception of Xi 'an Translation Institute is very clever, but what is the specific implementation method?
First, add a halo to yourself directly. When I opened the website of Xi 'an Institute of Translation, I suddenly found that its English names were "Xi 'an Fanyi University" and "University"-a private college suddenly became a programming university. This change seems to be unconscious, and sometimes some unrealistic changes become a halo. The dean of the school called Xi 'an Translation Institute "Harvard in the East", and some people used four words to describe this metaphor-"brazen". How does a private college similar to a fourth-rate university become an "Oriental Harvard"? How can it compare with Harvard? -probably only with private, if so, China is not a bunch of Harvard? In fact, I said at Qianmen that foreign private universities like Harvard are actually run by the society, unlike Xi 'an Institute of Translation, which is run by one person. A foreign friend from China once joked that calling this school "Oriental Harvard" is like a prostitute saying that she is a contemporary beauty in China.
Xi 'an Institute of Translation has added many auras to itself, but how many auras have been recognized by the society? None, to be exact. Some people even resent this practice of dressing themselves in beautiful clothes. As a boy said, "Xi 'an Translation Institute is like a prostitute with heavy makeup soliciting in the street. She also holds a piece of paper to publicize that she has done it with those celebrities to show her leading position as a prostitute. "
The scenery of Mount Tai is famous for its magnificence. Overlapping mountains, heavy figures, the contrast between pine trees and boulders, and the change of cl
