- Abstract
On July 24, the General Offices of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and The State Council issued a guideline on further reducing the burden of homework and off-campus training for students in compulsory education. It points out that strict regulations will be made on the approval of institutions’ qualifications, listing and financing, teaching beyond the syllabus, education fees, school protection for minors, summer trusteeship, after-school services, and other aspects, and the supervision direction of off-campus training will be further clarified. We find that overeducation will bring great harm to families, students, and the education market. The high cost of after-school tuition has increased the burden on families and contributed to the decline in fertility rates in recent years. Therefore, the government hopes to slow down this phenomenon through the implementation of policies. However, in recent decades, similar policies have been unsatisfactory, and the policy distortion is extremely serious. Therefore, we list two solutions: to provide a reasonable compensation mechanism for the parties whose interests conflict with the implementation of the policy; the government set up a stricter regulator to monitor schools and the private education market. The effective implementation of policies can only be ensured by complementing each other’s deficiencies.
