International scandal in the Medical Academy in Tver. Foreign students claim that they require much larger amounts than those specified in the contract for paid education. One asked for a receipt and was expelled.It is still difficult to speak in Russian, but acknowledged that language practice for last year was the most productive. Too much time spent talking with Russian teachers. A student from India Maulik decided to become a doctor after his older brother, once he read the ad in the Indian newspaper: "Tver Medical Academy: direct admission for Indian citizens."
Maulik entered. He says that tuition fees paid 3,100 euros a year. Money was carrying not in cash, and the office assistant deputy dean. The receipt of payment was given only at the request of the student and not immediately. Once again he promised to issue a check in a few months, Maulik protested: no receipt - no money. Do not pay the tuition, he was expelled. One of the wording: "Violation of the house rules."
Then the next Indian doctor decided to study not only the medical business, but also legal. Addressed in the Tver regional court. He ruled that the order of dismissal illegal and ordered the student to recover. During the trial in the hands Maulik was his contract with the university. It is not the amount of fees in euros and rubles, and almost two and a half times lower. All students sign a paper on the first course. It is said, in the hands of the contract was not given, it was in Russian and in one piece.
"A student does not know the Russian language. They just explain that you need this paper. And they write the name, address and signature. Then they say:" You have to pay the money, "- says Mayank Patel Maulik brother.
What is the deal with hardly remembers not only Maulik, but the rest of the students. This year Maulik began to prepare for recovery. The question "How much he must now pay for the training?" The receptionist called him rector of the amount in rubles.
The rest of the students continue to pay for their studies in euros. The footage of hidden cameras student from India pays, and then signs the total notebook. Another Indian student of third year just tuition.
"Pay 3,100 euros hands, and say," You can give a check? "He said:" There is no check if the check you want, comes two months, three months, "- said Nageshvara Jyotirlinga Nanvare.
The Academy explained: some students entered into a contract with the university training did not, and the firm. She - a kind of intermediary between the foreigners and the institution. However, it is for the company, nor the teachers nor the students do not know. As they do not know why the students pay in euros rather than in rubles.
"The mediators have, but there is a contract between the individual and the mediator - is a contract is a contract, which we have nothing, and there is an agreement between the students and us," - said vice-rector for Foreign Students and International Affairs Dmitry Bazhenov.
- Students at the hands immediately issued a contract?
"Yes," - said vice-rector for Foreign Students and International Affairs Dmitry Bazhenov
"No, we are not allowed to contract" - says student Nageshvara Jyotirlinga Nanvare.
The total number of foreign students in Russia today, about one hundred thousand. About 80 of them - contractors. In this sense the law they have the same rights as the Russian students. That is the solution to all further questions arising in the course of their studies, assumes the institution. The firm should only help an applicant to choose the school and arrange admission.
"This is exactly brokers who help the students, prospective students and universities to find each other, they say. But all the relationships, of course, between learners and learning should be regulated directly," - said Deputy Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation Igor Fedyukin.
This year Maulik restored. Ahead - two years of study. A year ago he thought change to another Russian Academy high school. But Indian law, if the student began to study in a particular high school, he was obliged to finish it
