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."

据《大河报》报道，近日，有网友称河南省商丘市一所小学竟然在发给学生的奖状上植入了商业广告。

网友发帖展示了三张照片，一张为奖状正面，下方有“×××外语”字样。另两张显示奖状背面，印满广告图案，还有“×××外语寒假乐学营”等字样，并标明了招生对象、开设课程、地址和电话等。

针对奖状上植入广告一事，该小学宋校长表示：“现在，在奖状上做广告的现象很普遍，不是我们一家，也不是从今年开始。看到网友质疑，我们以后不会再这样做了。”
