China is expected to establish a long-term mechanism to completely root out disguised academic tutoring by June 2024, a new guideline said on Tuesday.
Jointly released by the Ministry of Education and eleven other departments, the guideline bans any advertisement for homestay tutors and one-on-one tutors for kindergarten pupils and primary and secondary school students.
Housekeeping enterprises should not include "home tutoring" of any form in their services, and primary and secondary school teachers are banned from providing paid tutoring classes, the guideline said.
A tip-off system will also be established and the public will be rewarded for offering evidence of major misconduct, it said.
Misconduct will be publicized at least every three months and the offending tutoring institutions will be included in a blacklist and the national credit information sharing platform, according to the guideline.
