these "quick-time degree" programs often claim to help students easily complete overseas study and obtain formal academic certificates, and even promise "one-stop service" to cover the entire process from application to graduation. however, behind such promises, the truth is often concealed. many people pay a high price but ultimately gain nothing.
“three months to help you complete a master’s program in the united states” “with only tens of thousands of dollars, you can go to xx university to study for a ph.d.”… these seemingly attractive slogans hide the cruelty of reality. in order to obtain profits, intermediary agencies take advantage of the characteristics of "easy admission and easy graduation" and carefully design "money-making" traps to attract those who are eager to quickly improve their academic level. however, these "quick-time academic qualifications" certificates often fail to pass domestic official certification, and most of them cannot be recognized by employers. in the end, institutions often "refuse to refund".
behind this chaos of "buying and selling overseas "quick-time academic qualifications" is more of the rising demand for job seekers to improve their academic qualifications. in recent years, the recruitment threshold of employers has become higher and higher. "graduate employment trends and outlook 2023" shows that judging from the increase in academic requirements for new positions for fresh graduates for three consecutive years, the demand for doctoral and master's degrees has increased significantly, exceeding 100%.
in addition to recruitment, higher education also has advantages in terms of promotion, salary increase, and points settlement. therefore, more and more job seekers and working people are beginning to "do their academic qualifications." but this kind of improvement and enrichment should be real and step by step. turning academic qualifications into a "business" is not only inconsistent with the laws of education, but is also suspected of false propaganda and fraud, touching a legal red line.
this also reflects society’s excessive pursuit of academic qualifications and people’s obsession with “quickness”. however, such "shortcuts" often bring greater losses. this kind of "buying and selling" type of academic qualification improvement not only disrupts the order of studying abroad and undermines educational fairness, but even causes a situation where "bad money drives out good money", affects the order of the job market and undermines social integrity.
therefore, it is necessary to approach this problem from various aspects to completely solve it. first of all, strengthen the review of overseas academic qualification certification, and ensure "strict entry and strict exit" through comprehensive evaluation of multiple materials. at the same time, we must strengthen the quality control of certified institutions, update and publish the list of institutions in a timely manner, and not give opportunities to unscrupulous institutions. ; secondly, strengthen the supervision and management of intermediary agencies, improve relevant laws and regulations, and smooth feedback and complaint channels to make the "business" of academic qualifications unsustainable; finally, we must rely on the joint efforts of the whole society to avoid excessive pursuit of academic qualifications and strive to and find true value in practice.
