April is the deadline for applying for degrees in Dongguan every year. As the deadline approaches, parents of school-age children are also anxious to prepare materials for their children's degree application. However, the number of degrees in public schools is limited, and many families may not meet the conditions of integral admission, so many people prefer to solve their children's degree problems through degree rooms. However, the growing demand for degree rooms does not match the fixed educational resources, which gradually gives birth to the contradiction between owners and developers. With the cancellation of degree rooms in Cheng Nan, Liaobu and other regions, the dispute over degree rooms has also reached a white-hot stage.
There are different voices in the industry about degree rooms. Some people think that there are too many tricks and hidden rules behind the degree room, and the shortage of educational resources will make it a future trend for Dongguan to cancel the degree room. Some people think that things are scarce, and it is precisely because of the shortage of educational resources that the real estate with a separate degree will become a scarce resource and have more market appeal.
It is said that good schools must draw lots to study.
A few days ago, the owner of a real estate in Guancheng sat in the project marketing center to defend his rights because his children could not attend a well-known primary school in Guancheng, and posted a slogan in the sales department that "defending rights is not illegal and refuses to draw lots".
The owner, Ms. Chen, said: "Hundreds of thousands of yuan bought this property, mainly to solve the problem of children going to school. At the beginning, the developer promised to buy the project, and the children could attend a well-known primary school in Guancheng. Now developers can't guarantee that all students majoring in real estate can get the same prestigious degree. They can only decide whether their children can go to primary school by drawing lots, which is unfair to children who can't. "
In this regard, the owner, Mr. Ye, said: "When we bought a house, we went for a degree from a well-known primary school, and we also paid a huge economic price for buying a house."
In response to this situation, the reporter interviewed the relevant person in charge of the property. He said: "When the marketing staff sold the project, they promised that the owners' children could go to the primary school in Guancheng. Not all the owners could go to this famous primary school. As for why the lottery is used to solve this problem, this is because there are 78 school-age children in the community, and the project only has 30 degree places in a well-known primary school in Guancheng. This solution is also based on fairness and openness. "
At present, there are not many real estates in Dongguan that really meet the degree index. Even if parents can afford a degree room, they can't enjoy the degree resources because of the quota and household registration. At this time, the degree room is just a concept. Sales staff will not advocate the concept of degree when selling, but will "hint" parents who need a degree and tell them that there are many well-known schools around the property.
"Parents are so eager to get a degree that they have to pay a high price to buy a conceptual degree." An industry insider said.
Li, a senior real estate lawyer in Dongguan, explained to the degree room: "A degree is a rigid demand, and it is also something that many owners urgently need. Developers will use a degree to promote sales. If the degree is not easy to achieve, there may be disputes, but it will not be contract fraud. This is because the developer will not write the promise of the degree in the contract and will not promise to check out without a degree. "
It is reported that there are two situations in which the degree is sent to the real estate. One is that the Education Bureau gives the degree of relevant public schools to real estate under certain conditions, so that the owner of the house has the right to a degree; The other is that some large developers run private schools by themselves or in cooperation to meet the owners' demand for degree rooms. However, some private degrees, such as Chaotian Primary School and Nankai Primary School, are very popular and the educational resources are relatively tight. "For private schools built by developers, they are now enrolling students for the whole city and will give preferential policies to the owners. However, there are more and more projects developed by big developers, which may not meet the needs of all owners. " Chen Junliang said.
The degree room reflects the mismatch of educational resources.
At present, the price of a degree room in Dongguan is not as high as that in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, but the price of a degree room with "degree" as its selling point is slightly higher than that in the same area, so the owners are willing to pay a high cost for the degree.
The reporter learned that some developers paid a certain amount of educational matching funds to the government, corresponding to the degree index. After all, the degree is limited, and the school's educational resources can't keep up with the progress of project development and sales in urban areas, which is in short supply. Developers may not be able to guarantee that every owner has a degree index, and there are many variables in the degree.
When the supply can't meet the demand, it is easy to have disputes. In recent years, there are more and more contradictions between developers and owners because of the shortage of degree resources. On 20 13, the degree rooms in Laos Wanaji stopped one after another.
Are Cheng Nan and Liao Bu facing a shortage of degree resources? Let's take Cheng Nan as an example to calculate an account. According to the data provided by Hefei Brilliant Dongguan Market Research Department, there were 6,673 residential transactions in Cheng Nan in 20 13 years. If there are three people in each household, 20,000 people will move in. If the annual birth rate in cities is 10%, 2,000 people will be born every year. According to the existing national regulations, if the class size is less than or equal to 50 students, it is necessary to build an 8-track school. If the primary and secondary schools near the relevant projects are full and cannot expand enrollment, then the children of 7 143 households will face the situation that there is no school to go to. With such a huge population, if there are not enough educational facilities, the reading problems of primary and middle school students in Cheng Nan are more prominent.
Regarding the shortage of academic degrees, Chen Junliang thinks that the academic degrees in Guancheng, Dongcheng and Cheng Nan central areas are relatively tight, while those in remote towns and villages are relatively sufficient. Cheng Nan is the central area of the city, and there is a great demand for degrees. Liaobu has more properties and greater competition. There is a strong demand for degrees. "For areas with tight degree resources, the government can't provide enough degrees to the owners, and the government would rather return the education supporting fund to the developers." Chen Junliang said.
There is no "degree room" as a marketing selling point in the past two years. Does Cheng Nan and Liaobu's project sales have an impact? During the interview, the reporter learned that the red slogan of "buy a house and send a degree" hanging on the project in the past "disappeared", in exchange for the basic information and special offers of the real estate. The marketing staff at the sales site also became cautious about the degree consulted by the citizens and explained the new degree policy to them.
Subsequently, the reporter interviewed the relevant person in charge of a brand developer in Cheng Nan on the view of the degree room. He said: "The cancellation of degree rooms has little impact on the sales of real estate. People have gradually accepted the policy of canceling degree rooms in Cheng Nan. Now, everyone doesn't mention the degree room. "
A developer in Liaobu also said that the degree room is only a selling point in the sales process, and people who buy houses will still buy houses. The cancellation of Liaobu degree room has little impact on project marketing. "
Li Xingwang, manager of Hefei Brilliant Market Research Department, said that the cancellation of the degree room has little impact on the project sales, and those who should buy a house will still buy a house. A degree room is just icing on the cake.
In addition, he believes that the gradual cancellation of degree rooms in Dongguan will become a future trend. The problem of degree room has caused many social problems, for example, the phenomenon of insufficient degree has led to many disputes and contradictions between owners and developers, and the developer's promise to give the owners a degree is likely to lead to unfairness.
According to statistics, in 20 13, 6,673 houses were sold in Cheng Nan, and in 20 14, 5,365 houses were sold in Cheng Nan, down 19% year-on-year. In 20 13, 3 179 sets were sold in liaobu, and in 20 14, 2,359 sets were sold in liaobu, down 35% year-on-year.
