[Commentary] On March 31, the State Council Information Office held a press conference.
At the meeting, Lu Yugang, director of the Department of Basic Education of the Ministry of Education, said that in recent years, various localities have actively carried out the governance of off-campus training institutions and achieved positive results.
However, some outstanding problems such as overheating of off-campus training, excessive training behaviors, and difficulty in refunding fees for training institutions have not yet been fundamentally resolved.
The Ministry of Education will further strengthen the governance of off-campus training institutions and strictly approve training institutions.
[Concurrent] Lu Yugang, Director of the Department of Basic Education, Ministry of Education
For off-campus training institutions, we will adhere to lawful governance and comprehensive policy implementation, strictly implement the requirements of relevant national laws and regulations, strictly approve training institutions, strengthen training content supervision, innovate training fee (management) methods, standardize training behavior, and severely investigate and deal with violations of laws and regulations. Training behaviors effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of parents and students.
[Explanation] Lu Yugang also pointed out that it is necessary to further strengthen the school's role as the main position of educating people, and effectively reduce the burden of students' off-campus training and homework.
In addition, he also called on parents to establish correct educational concepts and rationally treat off-campus training.

For compulsory education schools, it is necessary to further improve the quality of classroom teaching, standardize homework management, improve the level of homework design, and strictly control the total amount of written homework.
It is also necessary to further enhance the supply of after-school services to ensure after-school service hours.
Special emphasis is placed on the after-school service hours to keep in line with the local normal off-duty hours.
Here I would like to remind parents to put their children’s physical and mental health first, to view social training in a rational and objective manner, not to put too much pressure on the children, and to scientifically and appropriately arrange their children’s study, life and exercise. .
[Commentary] At the meeting, some reporters asked questions about "Olympics has come back in some places."
In this regard, Lu Yugang said that it is necessary to further strengthen the management of competition projects, strictly investigate and deal with illegal competitions, and strictly implement the enrollment policy.
[Concurrent] Lu Yugang, Director of the Department of Basic Education, Ministry of Education
For competitions that have not been reviewed and approved, it is necessary to intensify the investigation and deal with them together. It is strictly forbidden for primary and secondary schools and social training institutions to organize primary and secondary school students to participate in illegal competitions; it is necessary to thoroughly implement the compulsory education exemption and nearby enrollment regulations and "citizens with the same recruitment" The policy prohibits linking the enrollment of primary and secondary schools with any form of social competition, and resolutely cut off this chain of interests.
