When was the Off-campus Education and Training Supervision Department established?

June 15, 2020The Ministry of Education announced the establishment of the Department of Supervision of Off-campus Education and Training, and the Department of Supervision of Off-campus Education and Training was established with the approval of the Central Editorial Board.

What is the signal released by the establishment of the Off-campus Education and Training Supervision Department?

1: The supervision of off-campus education and training institutions will have to be unremitting for a long time, and it will never be a gust of wind.

Because it is not easy to set up a division-level unit, it is not established by the Ministry of Education if it wants to be established, and it needs to go through many checkpoints for approval. The specifications of division- and bureau-level units are very high, second only to the provincial and ministerial levels, and the director belongs to the cadres under the central management. The Department of Supervision of Off-campus Education and Training, the Department of Basic Education and the Department of Higher Education are all on an equal footing. Personnel are in place, cadres are appointed, responsibilities are clear, and it is not easy to withdraw.

There is a sentence in the press release that also shows the attitude: in the spirit of ”nailing nails“, the work of ”double reduction" has come to fruition. Take a look and talk about it, wait for the wind to pass before doing it, it won't be one size fits all... Wait, all the luck can be dispelled.

2: The corresponding regulatory agencies of provinces, cities and counties will be established soon, and the supervision will be more effective.

In the past, because of strict compilation and management, the central government did not have a dedicated organization, and there was no way to set up an organization below. Without an organization, there was no dedicated person to do this work, and insufficient strength made it difficult to land.

Now, there is an institution at the top, followed by the establishment of an institution to determine special classes, and the responsibilities and rights are unified. The central government's requirements for the rectification of off-campus training institutions are about to be implemented. “There are policies on the top and countermeasures on the bottom”" I'm sorry, the countermeasures may not work. “The whip on the top is not long enough to control our small place”" There are also people in small places who specialize in you; “Find a relationship and make workarounds.” It is estimated that it will be difficult to make it work next. There are specialized agencies in various places, and they are all responsible for them. They just do this. You can't lose your job just to take care of you, right?

3: The phenomenon of multiple branches of government and fragmentation is about to end. In the future, the supervision of off-campus education and training institutions will be under the control of the Ministry of Education.

The national document on the special governance of off-campus training institutions was issued in February 2018 and was issued in the name of the four ministries and commissions of the Ministry of Education, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (now the State Administration for Market Supervision), the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Affairs, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Because the Ministry of Education lacks law enforcement functions and law enforcement power, it has drawn on the more ruthless industrial and commercial sectors. Some time ago, it was the market supervision department that issued high fines to education and training institutions.

Multi-departmental management may also lead to mutual blame, regardless of it. Who is the “mother-in-law” of an off-campus education and training institution? It is now clear that it is the education department.

4: The function of the Off-campus Education and Training Supervision Department is to supervise and manage, not others.

The name of the new institution should be the "Department of Off-campus Education and Training Supervision and Management”, not the ”Department of Off-campus Education and Training“, nor the "Department of Off-campus Education and Training Standardization", let alone the “Department of Off-campus Education and Training Promotion" under the name of the "Private Education Promotion Law", but the Supervision and Management Department, with one function.It is very clear from a glance that it will take over the current supervisory functions of the State Administration of Market Supervision in the field of off-campus education and training. In other words, it may also have the power to issue fines, order business to be closed for rectification, or even order a ban.

There have long been rumors that the chaos in the education and training market is because the education department does not have the power to enforce the law, and now this problem has been solved. The following provinces, cities and counties will also be implemented in accordance with the top-level design. The national market supervision department manages all walks of life and has a wide range. It may not be in place for supervision. In the future, the education department will have such a special supervision agency, and its strength will be different.

5: The establishment of the Department of Supervision of Off-campus Education and Training shows that the state does not want to completely ban off-campus education and training institutions. It is enough to ban one order, and there is no need to set up this permanent specialized agency.

On the one hand, there is indeed market demand for off-campus education and training institutions. Parents have become accustomed to their children enrolling in training courses on weekends, winter and summer vacation. On the other hand, off-campus education and training has become a large industry over the years. Many people have been raised, some taxes have been paid, and a large number of real estate properties have been used. What's more, a number of listed companies have emerged in the off-campus education and training industry. The market capitalization is not a small number, and it has also contributed to economic development.

Simply banning it is detrimental to the country and the people. It is not banned, but it must be standardized and implemented in strict accordance with the spirit of a series of documents and notices issued by the state. For example, institutions are licensed to run schools, and teachers are licensed to take the job. They do not advance teaching, do not exceed the syllabus, and do not repeat teaching. The one-time fee does not exceed three months. It ends before the specified time and is not allowed to be retained.Industry, etc.

6: The Department of Off-campus Education and Training Supervision will guide the transformation of existing off-campus education and training institutions.

Strictly follow the requirements of the above-mentioned documents to implement it, and off-campus education and training institutions will not be able to do it. Take “No advanced teaching, no over-syllabus teaching, and no repetitive teaching” for example, if the training institution is opened like this, which parent will send their children here? You won't be able to recruit students, so you still have to close the door automatically.

The establishment of the Supervision Department of Education and Training Institutions by the state should have another meaning: to guide the transformation of education and training institutions. The Minister of Education, Chen Baosheng, once said at a press conference that "those who involve subject training in the compulsory education stage cannot be touched”" Then you can only make a fuss within the red line. The business direction of education and training institutions seems to be limited toTransition to quality education, after-school services, and research travel.

In other words, education and training institutions can still be opened. If any training projects are to be changed, they must not interfere with normal teaching or help. Helping some students in the training course is unfair to another part of the students who did not attend the training course, which caused the school teacher to not know how to take the class. The big bosses of New Oriental and other institutions will often report to the Department of Off-campus Education and Training Supervision in the future to consult on the way of transformation. What happens if you don't take the initiative to transform or the transformation is unsuccessful? Then only click it off.

7: The newly established institution of the Ministry of Education is called the “Department of Supervision of Educational and Training Institutions”. It is very clear that it is aimed at educational and training institutions, not after-school services, not student hosting, not on-campus hosting, not delayed services.

Student custody, as a form of educational service, is not included in the scope of supervision, otherwise it should be called the “Supervision Department of Off-campus Educational Institutions”. Although the student hosting industry also belongs to the field of education, it has obvious service functions and is a livelihood project that meets the needs of parents. The student hosting industry does not increase the academic burden on children. On the contrary, it also helps children solve the academic burden and helps parents reduce their energy burden. Therefore, the escrow industry is not within the red line, and this is also a decision that is fully considered.

8: On-campus hosting and delayed services have not been fully recognized by the Ministry of Education. Off-campus hosting opportunities are still great, and they are even unique in the primary school level.

Judging from the move of the Ministry of Education to establish the Department of Supervision of Off-campus Education and Training, the supervision of off-campus training institutions should be upgraded, normalized, and exclusive. However, for the on-campus escrow and delayed services currently implemented in some places, although the Ministry of Education had a document notice in 2017 supporting this, no specialized agency has been established toTo urge the implementation of this matter, this function has not been incorporated into the newly established Education and Training Supervision Department to implement it. It shows that from the point of view of the practice of on-campus hosting and delayed services, there are many unsatisfactory things, and they cannot yet rise to the point of great affirmation and vigorous promotion. The existence of off-campus hosting educational institutions is still very necessary.
