Beijing Orders Tutoring Companies to Cap Fees

Authorities in Beijing will put a cap on after-school class fees in a bid to guarantee more equitable access to school curriculum-based tutoring, as part of efforts to flesh out the current overhaul of the private education sector.

The Beijing Municipal Commission of Development and Reform said in a draft document unveiled Tuesday that after-school classes, both online and offline, will be subject to a government pricing guide that sets benchmark and floating fees (link in Chinese), with prices capped at 10% over the benchmark.
