The education authority in Shaanxi province has ordered a college that sent student interns to Foxconn to revise its cooperation agreement with the company
to better protect students.
Hui Chaoyang ? director of the provincial education department, said the department has found problems with the management of the
work experience activities of Xi'an Technological University's North Institute
of Information Engineering.
They alleged the college forced students to take internships in one of the Taiwan-based electronics giant's factories in Yantai, Shandong province. Some
interns were made to work overtime on the assembly line.
Hui said the college did not offer other work experience options for students.
Some of the work was not in line with the objectives of the students' professional training Mario Edwards Jr Raiders Jersey , Hui said. For instance, students majoring in finance and accounting were also put to work on assembly lines.
The official added that some students were also required to work much harder than expected.
The college decided on Sunday to suspend its cooperation agreement with Foxconn and around 1,000 students working for the factory will return to school
by Wednesday Karl Joseph Raiders Jersey , said Zhang Jun'an, president of the college.
Zhang said the school started cooperating with Foxconn's Yantai plant in 2010 and has sent students there every summer vacation.
Zhang acknowledged the school received 100 yuan ($16) per student from Foxconn as a management fee if the student worked in the factory for two months.
"The amount of the management fee in 2012 was some 70,000 to 80 David Sharpe Raiders Jersey ,000 yuan and in 2013 reached more than 100,000 yuan. Our school used the money for student activities such as teaching
contests and sports games," Zhang said.
Students also earned some wages for their work.
In the past three years of cooperation with Foxconn Eddie Vanderdoes Raiders Jersey , the school also received financial support from the company to establish scholarships and teaching awards to
encourage excellent students and teachers, and for the construction of a
laboratory. The financial support totaled more than 300,000 yuan Obi Melifonwu Raiders Jersey , Zhang said.
This summer vacation, more than 5,000 students from the institute were sent to Foxconn's Yantai factory from late July to late September.
A student surnamed Li told China Daily she had to work more than 10 hours a day on the assembly line pasting labels on recording pens.
"The work was hard and boring Gareon Conley Raiders Jersey , and we do not think such so-called work experience made any sense," the student said.
Another student surnamed Wang said they were required to take part in the work experience activities as this gained them six academic credits toward their
diplomas.
Foxconn admitted last week that its Yantai factory forced the students to work overtime and on night shift, which broke the company's rules Giorgio Tavecchio Jersey , and vowed to resolve the problem.
From 2009, cases of students from Chongqing and Jiangsu, Shanxi and Shaanxi forced to work in Foxconn have been reported regularly and people suspected the
students are used to tackle the company's labor shortage.
Shi Ying Marquel Lee Jersey , deputy director of Shaanxi provincial academy of social sciences, said such work experience for students was justified and
essential but arranging overtime for the students broke Chinese labor law.
The cord blood collection process is an absolutely safe action that will not harm the mother and the baby. Once the cord blood is collected it
is then stored. Cord blood storage and stem cell storage is usually done in more
than one facility to make sure there will always be a sample available for you
to use. It also helps prevent the loss of the cord blood or the stem cell.People
think that using your own stem cells as a transplant to help cure a disease you
would have can harm you as the stem cells collected may contain the disease the
person is being treated for.It appears that thousands of stem cells transplant
using ones own cells are being performed every year to cure various diseases and
disorders and studies show that it is still recommended to use the persons own
stem cells that were collected at birth for transplantation.Adult stem cells are
cells that are found in each part of the body but the cells themselves can
become anything - anything that is found within the body. Because they are found
in every organ, they can become every cell within that organ. Most stem cell
banks and cord blood banks store the cord blood or the stem cells for twenty
five years. As there has not really been any use of stem cells that had been
stored for more than twenty five years yet and scientists do not really know who
well stem cells can be preserved after twenty five years Jared Cook Jersey , most private stem cell banks and public banks do not go over that limit.Stem cells released by the bone marrow are responsible for
