Authorities in several Chinese cities have set government-guided pricing standards for curriculum-based after-school tutoring, as part of the industry’s transition to nonprofit status by the year-end deadline last Friday.

The government pricing guide set benchmark prices from 40 yuan to 80 yuan per class in megacities Beijing and Shanghai, with a price range to cater for different class sizes. After-school tutoring institutions can use the pricing standards to set their fees, with prices capped at 10% over the benchmark.
