BEIJING: During school holidays, eight-year-old Zaizai is sent to live with his English tutor — sometimes for 10 days, sometimes for a month. His two-year-old sister tags along for exposure to the language.Since July 2021, private tuition over weekends and holidays has been banned for Chinese students below 16. No new licences have been issued for academic tuition centres, while existing centres had to register as non-profit institutions. Schools have also had to reduce daily homework.
Hou himself used to be in the private education sector, as vice president of Yaqiao Education Group, and said private tutoring had been hijacked by profit-making. She thought it would be enough for her son, who is 15 this year and due to sit his Zhongkao , to just study within school hours. In first-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai, some one-to-one tutors are charging as much as 3,000 yuan an hour. That is at least ten times more than before and about a quarter of the average monthly wage for white-collar workers in these cities.
For one thing, there are “too few paths” for students after streaming, said Chen Zhiqin, an educational software developer.
