　　As a hot topic in the current society, "make up class" has become a trouble and trouble for the majority of students and parents. The Standing Committee of the Liaoning Provincial People's Congress has closely focused on this issue, followed up and supervised the effective reduction of the excessive extracurricular burden of primary and secondary school students for three consecutive years, and conducted comprehensive analysis and judgment on the situation learned from the investigation.

　　On August 5, the 20th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th People's Congress of Liaoning Province deliberated for the first time the "Regulations on the Management of Off-campus Training Institutions in Liaoning Province (Draft)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Draft"). The "Draft" has 33 articles, mainly stipulating regulations on the subject of supervision, training activities, and legal responsibilities. Among them, the "running" problem is addressed in the "Draft". Supervise and remind related funds and prohibit off-campus training institutions from charging fees that span more than three months at a time.

　　Implement the party's educational policy

　　With the continuous development of China’s education and the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, parents’ needs for education are becoming more and more diversified. Since the school curriculum is designed according to the average level of students, there will always be a small number of students who feel "not enough to eat." ", and another small group of students feel "difficult to digest." The emergence and development of off-campus training institutions have met the selective learning needs of primary and middle school students and have become a supplement to school education. However, off-campus training institutions must never replace school education.

　　The "Draft" requires that off-campus training institutions should fully implement the party’s educational policy, adhere to the socialist direction of running schools, follow the laws of education and the laws of student physical and mental development, and work closely with school education and family education to promote the healthy growth of primary and middle school students; The basic-level organizations of the Communist Party of China must carry out party activities in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the Communist Party of China, strengthen party building, and achieve simultaneous planning of party building, simultaneous establishment of party organizations, and simultaneous development of party work.

　　Pay attention to the health of students

　　Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that health is the first priority. This year, when he visited the Laoxian Town Central Primary School in Pingli County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province, he also emphasized that the health of children should be emphasized.

　　The "Draft" firmly establishes the concept of health first. In response to the increasing number of "little fat piercing" problems, the "Draft" proposes to reduce the excessive extracurricular burdens of students, not to "advance" and "super outline" teaching, so that students have time to exercise; encourage Off-campus training institutions carry out sports, art, technology and other training activities to help students master one or two sports skills, enjoy fun in physical exercise, strengthen their physical fitness, improve their personality, and temper their will.

　　In response to the widespread use of glasses in children, the "Draft" clearly states that training venues should comply with the relevant national standards on daylighting and lighting and the requirements for prevention and control of young people's myopia. At the same time, the "Draft" stipulates that the end of offline training shall not exceed 8:30 in the evening, and no homework shall be left after the training; the end of online live broadcast training shall not exceed 9 in the evening, and the duration of each class shall not exceed 40 minutes.

　　Standardized management and orderly development

　　The rapid development of off-campus training institutions has better met the diverse needs of students and parents, but at the same time, there is also a phenomenon of unevenness. Since 2018, the Ministry of Education has organized and carried out special governance and "look back" on off-campus training institutions, and achieved important initial results, and some chaos has been basically contained. However, due to the lack of fundamental changes in talent evaluation standards, talent selection and training methods, the “baton” of the senior high school entrance examination and college entrance examination is still playing a role, and the management of off-campus training institutions cannot be “deadly managed”, but should be “sparse”. "The combination of "blocking" promotes its standardized and orderly development.

　　To this end, on the one hand, the "Draft" has established a work pattern in which governments and departments at all levels are responsible for division of labor, perform their duties, and work together. For example, governments at all levels are required to establish and improve a joint meeting system, regulatory agency work coordination mechanism, and cross-regional linkage. Improve the information sharing and work notification system, implement localized management responsibilities; make it clear that education administrative departments at all levels are responsible for the supervision and management of off-campus training institutions, and market supervision, civil affairs and other departments do relevant work in accordance with their duties; encourage and support industry associations to establish Industry conventions guide and urge practitioners to carry out training activities in accordance with the law.

　　On the other hand, the "Draft" prohibits primary and secondary schools from holding or participating in the organization of off-campus training institutions; primary and secondary schools are prohibited from participating in the management and enrollment of off-campus training institutions, and the corresponding legal responsibilities are clarified to ensure that off-campus training institutions have Order development.

　　At the same time, the "Draft" also stipulates that off-campus training institutions should focus on improving the quality of training and truly become a useful supplement to school education. For example, off-campus training institutions are required to establish a relatively stable team of personnel engaged in training and conduct ideological and moral education and business operations. Ability training.

　　Carry out credit rating evaluation

　　In order to protect the rights and interests of students and parents, the "Draft" provides solutions to some key issues of general concern.

　　Regarding the question of how to select integrity training institutions, the "Draft" requires the education administrative department to carry out a law-abiding integrity rating evaluation of off-campus training institutions, and the evaluation results shall be disclosed to the public in accordance with the law.

　　In response to the problem of off-campus training institutions, the "Draft" requires that the sponsors of off-campus training institutions should have a good credit status, and the asset level should be commensurate with the scale of the school; the education administrative department should work with financial supervision, taxation and other departments to account for tuition and miscellaneous fees. The minimum balance and large capital flow and other indicator changes shall be monitored and risk reminded to prevent the capital risks of off-campus training institutions; at the same time, off-campus training institutions are prohibited from charging fees that span more than three months at a time.

　　Regarding safety issues that parents are generally concerned about, the "Draft" requires that off-campus training institutions should implement the main responsibility of safety, establish and improve safety management systems, formulate emergency response plans, equip safety facilities and equipment in accordance with regulations, and strengthen safety in fire protection, food, and hygiene. Management, regular investigation and disposal of potential safety hazards.

　　In terms of dispute resolution, the "Draft" stipulates that if a dispute arises between the guardian of primary and secondary school students and an off-school training institution, it can be resolved through negotiation; if the negotiation fails, it can apply to the People's Mediation Committee for mediation; if the mediation fails, a lawsuit shall be filed.
