The overall market size of my country's off-campus training industry is about 2 trillion yuan, of which the scale of off-campus training in primary and secondary schools accounts for about 40%. Enrolling in training classes has become the choice of many parents of all grades.

Professor Zou Rong believes that this is a reflection of parents' anxiety, and the psychological dependence and means of coping with fiercely competitive education and eliminating sexual education. "Children face competition for further education, employment and social stratification in the future. Parents hope to improve their children's performance through training, so that they can be admitted to a good school and find a good career in the future."
In his opinion, choosing an off-campus training institution It is the choice for students and parents to self-pressurize. However, for quite some time, off-campus training institutions have been left unchecked, and now it is necessary to establish a control system for the content of education and training. Exactly what an off-campus training institution can teach and what can't be taught, must form rules.
