An Internet user has revealed that certificates of award issued by a primary school in Shangqiu City, Henan Province, are embedded with commercial advertisements, Dahe Daily reported.

The poster displays three photos of the award. The first one shows the front, with ad for "Foreign Language Training" on the lower edge of the certificate. The other two show the back, promoting "Language Winter Camp," listing the enrollment targets, course listings, address, and telephone number.

In response, the school principal surnamed Zhang said: "Now, advertising on the certificates is common. We are not alone and it began year ago. Now that we see people on the Internet oppose to the act, we will stop."

據《大河報》報道，近日，有網友稱河南省商丘市一所小學竟然在發給學生的獎狀上植入了商業廣告。

網友發帖展示了三張照片，一張為獎狀正面，下方有“×××外語”字樣。另兩張顯示獎狀背面，印滿廣告圖案，還有“×××外語寒假樂學營”等字樣，并標明了招生對象、開設課程、地址和電話等。

針對獎狀上植入廣告一事，該小學宋校長表示：“現在，在獎狀上做廣告的現象很普遍，不是我們一家，也不是從今年開始。看到網友質疑，我們以后不會再這樣做了。”
