China releases draft regulations for after-school tutoring industry

China's Ministry of Education has released draft regulations for the country's after-school tutoring industry, the first of its kind on a national level stipulating the regulatory framework for the once-booming sector.

Released Thursday before the Chinese New Year holiday, the 20-article draft is available for public comment until March 8. It comes more than two years after China launched a sweeping crackdown on the private tutoring industry in mid-2021, a move that changed the landscape of the sector.
