College ordered to revise student internships at Foxconn factory

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.
