Chapter 156: Contract student

"The reason why you think so is because you don't have enough understanding of the obligations that "contract students" need to perform, and they don't know anything about the origin of this aid system." Mr. Havel pointed out facelessly to Joan Is too naive.
The "contract student loan" is actually developed from the "contract labor" system.
As we all know, most of the immigrants who came to the New Continent to seek life were mostly poor actors and even criminals who could not survive in the Old Continent. Eighteen out of nine of them were people from the bottom of society. Few of them could afford the travel expenses of themselves and their families, nor even settled in the New Continent. Capital.
In order to expand the colonial cause of the New World, colonial institutions such as
Wilnoa Reclamation Company
and
Pick Bay Company
are in desperate need of labor force, thus launching a welfare system: to provide immigrant immigrants with a travel fee and Settlement fees, immigrants must sign a contract to work for the company as a "contracted labor" for a period of time-usually four to seven years.
During the period when the contract is in force, the salary paid by the company to "contract labor" is usually much lower than the average level of free workers in the same industry, barely making ends meet. The company assigns the type of work but has no right to refuse. It can only engage in hard work and do not like or do not like it. Good job, low status is like a servant, and will not be free until the contract expires.
The "student loan contract" signed by Joan and Wilnoah Colonial Company is actually exactly the same as the contract signed by "Contracted Labor", except that the colonial company is more willing to invest in the capital apprenticeship of the master apprentice than the ordinary laborer, expecting him to graduate in the future In the future, he will serve the company and get back the profit.
It is conceivable that in order to recover the loans from the "contract students" and earn as much profit as possible, the colonial company will squeeze them in every possible way, and it will be a long and hard day to wait for them after graduation.
Joan was born in poverty and was not afraid of suffering, but he lacked social experience after all. When he signed the contract, he did not notice that some of the terms were based on inequality, and he suffered a loss unconsciously.
"For example, there is such an additional clause in the contract you signed that requires the signatory to get a graduation certificate within five years, right?" Javier asked Joan.
"Yes, there is such a requirement." Joan recalled the terms of the contract. "If you can't graduate on time, in addition to the normal loan principal and interest, you also have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages to the company, the amount of which is the principal of the five-year student loan. quite."
"That's the problem." Javier sighed and looked at Joan with a pity.
Joan frowned and couldn't think of any unfairness in this clause.
The company uses money to help students in order to help the company make money after graduation. If a student always repeats the grade and can't finish the job, the company's loan will become a loss-making transaction to throw money into the bottomless hole? So he felt that this "liquidation penalty clause" was both reasonable and necessary. Why did Mr. Havel hate it?
Take a step back and say that you are neither stupid nor lazy. Graduation is not a problem. Why should you care about this breach of contract clause that is not useful at all?
Javier seemed to see through Joan's thoughts and smiled bitterly to unravel the mystery.
"If you look at this supplementary clause in isolation, it would be reasonable, but when you link this clause to the real environment, things get complicated. The point is that...you can really graduate within five years. ?"
"Why not?" Joan asked inexplicably. "Is the principal going to make things difficult for the students deliberately, and not to issue a diploma to the students?"
"Mr. Principal will not be able to do this kind of ethics, but some black-hearted tutors can definitely do it!" Mr. Havel said amazingly, "Leiden College has implemented a'mentor responsibility system' since its creation. The tutor claimed that one of his students did not meet the graduation criteria, and the principal did not say much."
"I have to say that some of the tutors at Leiden College are of poor character, and they deliberately find faults to prevent students from graduating, and find various excuses to refuse to sign the students' graduation certificates in the name of paying the repetition tuition fees and student loan penalties for the students. Squeezing young people, forcing students to work as assistants in his laboratory to pay off debts, is actually acting as cheap labor, earning money and stealing reputation by exploiting students."
"Stealing fame?" Qiao An asked blankly, feeling increasingly puzzled.
"It sounds a little weird, right? But this is the truth. I will give you an example of how you can use students to earn fame and fortune."
Javier took the pipe from Kairandil, lit the tobacco and took a deep breath, then said to Joan:
"For example, the magic guides engraved with the name of the manufacturer in our shop seem to be from the highly respected arcane instructors of Leiden Academy. In fact, many of them are not made by the signers themselves. They just put forward a general topic. It is really necessary to expend all the hard work and mana to the assistants and students. The latter has done most of the work, but is not qualified to leave a name on the work. As for the income obtained after the sale of the magic device, The conscientious tutor takes 80% of his own, and the remaining two ingredients are given to the students. The unconscientious or even scratchy, it is enough to ask the students to eat a good meal."
Joan was dumbfounded. There is only one thought in my mind: the routine in the city is deep, and I want to go back to the countryside.
Mr. Javier seemed to fear that he wasn’t scared enough, and he continued to expose the dark side of Leidon College’s bright and shiny
ivory tower
.
"Most of the wicked tutors are bullying and afraid of squeezing students from rich and wealthy families, but instead lowered their prices to please these rich and powerful young ladies. They changed the "contract students" who had to apply for student loans. Faceless faces, the most squeezed people are often contract students like you from the countryside who are powerless and poor, so you must be careful not to be deceived by the black-hearted mentors who seem to be decent on the surface ."
After hearing Mr. Javier's warning, Joan was in a heavy mood, and the long-awaited school life could not help but cast a shadow.
Next, Javier continued this topic, commenting on the current tutors of Leiden College Austrian Law School one by one, reminding him which tutors have their own reputation, which tutors are mean, and which tutors are trustworthy.
Joan remembered them one by one, but he knew what they could do?
A rural teenager like him who has no money, no power, and is very introverted and unspoken. Even if he knows that a mentor is deliberately embarrassing himself, it seems that there is no other way than to accept it. While secretly worrying, the servant knocked on the door and told Mr. Havel that there was a visit.
