VOCATIONAL schools in the central province of Henan are pushing students to take internships with Foxconn, the giant electronics maker that is shifting its production base to Zhengzhou, the province's capital.
Zhengzhou's government is under pressure to provide 100,000 to 150,000 workers for Foxconn and has ordered local vocational schools to do their best to steer students into the factories, China Youth Daily reported yesterday.
The province's education department even got 25,000 students from more than 100 middle or higher vocational schools to work for Foxconn's factory in far-off Shenzhen, the newspaper said. That's where about a dozen workers committed suicide last summer, reportedly stressed by difficult working conditions.
Some schools told journalism students to take a Shenzhen factory job, or else lose their graduation certificates, the report said.
Dong Chengming, head of career and adult education division with the department, told the newspaper that the arrangement benefited the students as well as the factory.
"Most of the students are not from well-off families, and the internship could reward them several thousand yuan," Dong said.
"If it were not because of the suicidal jumping-off, schools would feel honored to supply Foxconn their students," Dong said.
