False advertising
THE parents of 116 junior school students who were deceived by false advertising had been paid compensation by Shenzhen Polytechnic.
The remaining 21 students who are eligible for admission have been enrolled by the school for professional training.
According to an agreement signed by the school with its partner Longgang Hanlin Training School, Hanlin school was to help enroll high school graduates to study at Shenzhen Polytechnic. Hanlin exaggerated an advertisement to include junior school students in promoting Shenzhen Polytechnic.
