BEIJING: China is forcing after-school tutoring companies to register as non-profits and banning classes on weekends and holidays, according to government documents published by state media Saturday .
These institutions will also be barred from giving classes on weekends, public holidays and school vacations, according to the regulations, which CCTV said all government departments had been"asked to conscientiously implement in light of actual conditions". That has spawned a massive private tutoring industry, which was worth US$260 billion in 2018, according to consultancy and research firm L.E.K. Consulting.But the excessive workload and the prohibitive costs of a"good" education have come under the spotlight in recent years, with some local governments implementing homework curfews.

Government can help by giving subsidy to lower income families whose household income is less than a certain figure, give intensive to parents getting second or third child. To get companies on non profit is a bad idea for it's business not charity... seriously!
Very good. The govt is cleaning up the whole industry, ensure that the parents are not stress financially n students not under pressure to learn things that r beyond their age group. Good free content should be made availble to all students, rich or poor a fair chance.
From now on all tutor fees will be called admin fees.
