Yesterday, nearly 10 students' parents and teachers defended their rights at the headquarters of "Beijing Guo Bang Excellence Education Technology Co., Ltd." (hereinafter referred to as Guo Bang Education), but the relevant person in charge was "missing" and no one answered the phone.
It is understood that several branches of the company have suspended classes or moved away. At present, some part-time teachers are preparing to apply for labor arbitration, and parents are considering whether to call the police.
-Statement
Parents: The rest of the class fees have been delayed.
In March of this year, Ms. Yang's children were in the sprint stage of senior three review. In order to improve her grades, Ms. Yang enrolled her children in one-on-one tutoring courses in Guo Bang, tutoring several courses such as physics, chemistry and English, and bought 2 10 hours. "The hourly tuition fee 420 yuan paid a class fee of 80,000 yuan, but the child only attended 55 classes." Ms. Yang said that because the child has finished the college entrance examination, there is no need to go to the rest of the class.
According to the counseling agreement signed at that time, Guo Bang Education should charge the counseling fees accepted by parents according to the charging standard corresponding to the actual class hours consumed, and the remaining counseling fees will be refunded within 15 days after the parents file a written application for refund. It is also stated in the agreement that Guo Bang Education will not deduct any other fees except the class fees already spent.
On June 13, Ms. Yang submitted the Application Form for Refund of Fees in Gongzhufen Campus, and the amount of refund was 56,900 yuan. But after half a month, Ms. Yang didn't get a refund. "After that, I contacted the principal of the branch school many times, and the refund date was always delayed. Now even people can't find it. "
Another parent who asked not to be named was more anxious than Ms. Yang. From August to September last year, parents spent 220,000 yuan to let their children participate in the so-called "Eagle Plan" of Guo Bang Education, and paid a course deposit of 1 10000 yuan, which cost a total of 330,000 yuan. Now the contract is about to expire, and the children still have dozens of classes to finish. "This is my parents' life savings. What if I'm in vain? "
Teacher: I have been in arrears for two months.
On the one hand, it is difficult for parents to refund fees, on the other hand, part-time teachers can't get paid for a long time. "From June to now, the salary of more than two months has been dragged on." Teacher Fan, who is in charge of teaching high school physics in Gongzhufen Campus, said that the teachers who teach in this company are generally part-time, and both sides have part-time contracts. Guo Bang Education pays the corresponding salary according to the number of hours the teacher attends classes every month15th.
Teacher Fan said that since mid-June, many teachers have been urging the principals of their respective campuses to ask for wages, but there has been no result. The day before yesterday, when Teacher Fan went to Gongzhufen Campus again, he found the school gate locked. A notice was posted at the door: "As the rent of this campus will not be renewed when it expires, teachers and parents are invited to attend classes in Chengming Building, Xizhimen, the headquarters."
Yesterday at noon, many parents and teachers gathered in a duplex room on the 8th floor of Block A/KLOC-0 of Chengming Building, with the sign of Guo Bang Education hanging at the door. Parents said that at present, other branch schools have closed classes, only this campus has not closed. Everyone has been waiting here for a day and a night, but the relevant person in charge has never appeared.
Last night, these part-time teachers all received short messages from the company. According to the SMS, due to the company's recent financial difficulties, all unpaid wages will be paid in place from September 25 to 30. "If everyone goes to the company, it will only affect the normal income of the company. If the company doesn't make money, if it goes bankrupt, your salary will be hopeless, so please understand the company's difficulties and give our sales staff some time. I am really sorry. "
-Investigation
Business without enterprise registration information
Yesterday, the agreement and related materials presented by parents showed that Guo Bang Education Headquarters was originally located in Room 902, Block B, Sitongqiao East Digital Building, with more than a dozen campuses (only about 4 campuses actually started classes). The company is called "Beijing Guo Bang Excellence Education Technology Co., Ltd." and its legal representative is Jiang Huamin.
Yesterday afternoon, the reporter visited the former headquarters digital building and two branch schools located in Gongzhufen Science and Technology Exhibition Center and Tianxingjian Business Building respectively. The rooms where these branch schools are located have either been changed to lessors or closed. At the same time, the reporter did not find any enterprise registration information about Guo Bang Education on the website of Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce.
Original partner: Parents are advised to call the police.
Yesterday afternoon, the reporter repeatedly called the mobile phones of Jiang Hua, the legal representative of the company, and Sun, the president, but no one answered. The reporter found the former president of the company, Mr. Liu. He said that the predecessor of education in Guo Bang was "education for talents and businessmen", which was founded by him. Around April last year, Jiang Huamin intended to join, and then four shareholders, including Jiang and Liu, jointly founded Guo Bang Education, which included the education of talents and business.
June, 5438+this year 10, due to the difference in business philosophy and mode, four people signed a contract, and both Mr. Liu and two other shareholders withdrew their shares from the company and transferred their respective shares to Jiang Huamin. Since then, Mr. Liu has never asked about the company's operation. "But in May, Jiang Huamin cancelled the company, and it is not clear whether to change its name." Mr. Liu revealed that he decided to withdraw his shares and no longer cooperate with Jiang. He also thinks that "he is not very authentic."
Mr. Liu said that in the past few days, he also received calls from some parents, suggesting that parents call the police to handle the matter. Yesterday afternoon, some part-time teachers said they would apply for labor arbitration today, while parents said they were waiting to discuss whether to call the police.
