Enrolment dispute
MORE than 100 students were unable to register at Shenzhen Polytechnic because of a dispute between the school and its partner, Longgang Hanlin School.
Most of the students were junior students in Longgang and the university said they were deceived by an advertisement placed by the Hanlin School. Shenzhen Polytechnic said it would not admit students with only junior school education. Parents said they had paid at least 18,000 yuan (US$2,687) in tuition fees into the account of Shenzhen Polytechnic. Shenzhen Polytechnic said it planned to enroll 30 senior school students, while Hanlin school had recruited more than 100 unqualified students.
Police are investigating.
