According to the news released by the Jiangsu Provincial Government website on June 7, 2022, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism issued a notice on the "Administrative Measures for Non-disciplinary Off-campus Training Institutions for Culture and Arts in Jiangsu Province (Trial Implementation)".
The two main points of this notice are：
First point：Art training institutions shall be registered (for-profit or non-profit) by the competent department at the county level where they are located after obtaining a license or review opinion before they can carry out corresponding art training service activities.
This means that art training institutions do not need to apply for a school license, but they need to obtain a license or review opinion, which is equally binding.
Second point：Art training institutions should obtain an online training license or review opinion before they can use the Internet and other communication technologies to carry out online training activities.
This is the first time in the whole country that it has been proposed that art training institutions also need to provide permits or review opinions for online training, which means that in the future, art training institutions will not be able to carry out online training if they want to carry out online training, and they still need to apply for approval before they can carry out it. In the future, it is very likely that the whole country will be able to carry out online training.It is implemented in this way.
This also shows that，It is a major trend across the country that art training institutions do not require a school license.
Summary of institutional approval issues raised by off-campus training institutions：
one. What is subject training and what is non-subject training?
Subject
In accordance with the provisions of the national compulsory education stage curriculum, ethics and the rule of law, Chinese, history, geography, mathematics, foreign languages (English, Japanese, Russian), physics, chemistry, and biology are managed in accordance with subject categories when conducting off-campus training. Off-campus training involving the learning content stipulated in the national curriculum standards for the above-mentioned disciplines shall be included in the subject category for management.
Non-subject
When carrying out off-campus training, the disciplines of physical education (or sports and health), art (or music, fine arts), and comprehensive practical activities (including information technology education, labor and technical education) are managed in accordance with non-disciplinary categories.
The General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Further Reducing the Homework Burden on Students at the Compulsory Education Stage and the Burden of Off-Campus Training". It is also proposed that for non-disciplinary training institutions, various places should distinguish between sports, culture and art, science and technology and other categories, clarify the corresponding competent departments, classify and formulate standards, and strictly approve.
If the training is essentially a specialized study of the subject-related content of these 9 types of disciplines, emphasizing the orientation of subject knowledge, serving for entrance examinations, and strengthening skills training in listening, speaking, reading, writing, and arithmetic in related disciplines, then it should be managed in accordance with the subject category.
two. What is the difference between for-profit training institutions and non-profit training institutions?
The training institution approves the “first certificate and then the photo”
Training institutions approve and approve “first certificate and then license", whether it is a for-profit or a non-profit organization, they need to obtain a school license. For-profit organizations are called so-and-so Training Co., Ltd., while non-profit organizations do not have the words limited company.
The essential difference between the two
After a for-profit training institution obtains a license to run a school, it shall register as a business license and become a limited company (it must have the qualification of a corporate legal person). After obtaining a license to run a school, a privately run non-profit training institution goes through the registration of a private non-corporate entity legal person. It is a kind of public welfare social service institution. Its start-up funds are donations and dividends are not allowed. The remaining property at the time of termination and cancellation of the institution must be used for public welfare purposes and may not be distributed.
attention
The civil affairs department stipulates that there can only be one industry competent department for private non-enterprise units; non-profit training institutions may not open branches.
three. What are the requirements for the start-up funds of private non-corporate units (non-profit training institutions)?
1. The start-up capital must meet the minimum limit set by the bank.
2. The minimum start-up capital for private non-enterprise units in the training institutions category of our county is 500,000 yuan, which needs to be paid in real terms.
3. Funders are required to sign a letter of commitment to donate funds, promising not to retain ownership of the donated funds and their fruits, and may not withdraw or withdraw after donation, and do not require a return.
4. The start-up funds will become the property of the independent legal person of the private non-enterprise unit, and will be independently controlled by the private non-enterprise unit for the business scope and career development stipulated in the articles of association.
four. What are the requirements for the management of fees, finances, etc. of private non-corporate units?
The charging standards of private non-enterprise units shall be implemented in accordance with the government's guide price.
After one year of registration of private non-enterprise units, they are required to participate in the annual inspection by the Civil Affairs Bureau, and their net assets at the end of the year shall not be lower than the amount of start-up funds. For those who have not participated in the annual inspection for two consecutive years, the administrative department will impose administrative penalties on them, cancel their registration as civil and illegal persons, and their legal representatives will be included in the list of persons executed for serious violations of the law and dishonesty, and publicize them on the “Credit China” website at the same time.
Private non-enterprise units must strictly implement the financial management regulations such as the "Accounting Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Accounting System of Non-profit Organizations". The proceeds from running a school can only be used for public welfare purposes such as improving the school environment and improving the conditions of running a school. It shall not be distributed to funders, organizers and members, and staff wages and welfare expenses shall be controlled within a prescribed proportion, and shall not be used for public welfare purposes such as improving the school environment and improving the conditions of running a school.Distribute in disguise, maliciously conceal and encroach on the property of the unit.
When a private non-enterprise unit terminates, it shall not distribute the remaining property to the funders, organizers and members. The remaining property shall be used for public welfare purposes in accordance with the provisions of the articles of association of a legal person or the resolutions of the board of directors; if it cannot be handled in accordance with the provisions of the articles of association of a legal person or the resolutions of the board of directors, the competent authority shall preside over the donation to a legal entity with the same or similar purposes and announce it to the public.
five. Can subject training and non-subject training be offered at the same time?
1. For non-profit training institutions, since the competent department of the subject industry in our county is the county Education Bureau, the draft for Solicitation of Comments on the Implementation of the "Opinions on Further Reducing the Homework Burden on Students at the Compulsory Education Stage and the Burden of Off-Campus Training" of the General Office of the Provincial government stipulates the industry competent departments of cultural and artistic, sports, and scientific and technological training institutions respectively., Training institutions can only choose one industry authority, and cannot span other industry authorities.
2. For existing for-profit training institutions, if you want to continue to maintain the for-profit attributes, you can divest subject training and retain other non-subject training.
six. Can you increase the content of the school?
In accordance with the “double reduction” opinions of the two offices, new subject training institutions for compulsory education and ordinary high school students and off-campus training institutions for preschool children will no longer be approved. Therefore, it is not possible for existing institutions to add subject-based training and training content for preschool children.
Existing subject training institutions need to be re-registered as non-profit institutions. The competent department after registration can only be the county Education Bureau, so it is no longer possible to add cultural and artistic, sports, science and technology training content. Similarly, it has been registered as a non-profit cultural and artistic training institution, and it is no longer possible to add scientific and technological and sports training.
If the higher-level department has new regulations, the higher-level regulations shall prevail.

Where to go from art off-campus training institutions：
A few suggestions for everyone：
1. It is necessary to withdraw the counseling projects for compulsory education in K12 primary and middle schools and junior high schools as soon as possible.；
2. Try to avoid English projects for 0-6 years old (0-6 years old are not allowed to learn English, and foreign textbooks are not allowed)；
3. Try to choose quality education projects, mainly focusing on the 0-6-year-old stage. It is best (primary school students' time will be occupied by public schools, and there is no time to study. This is one direction)；
4. Quality education, carry out adult skills education as soon as possible (reduce housing vacancy rate)；
5. Reduce decoration costs, focus on simple decoration, and don't spend too much on decoration.；
6. We can carry out early education, childcare, family education instructors, these low-level projects, qin, chess, books, painting, martial arts projects, these traditional Chinese projects are more popular, programming robots, makers and other emerging science and technology projects. (Projects that cannot be carried out by public schools currently)
7. The segmented market of quality education, such as fine arts, for example, there are many art categories and many national arts in fine arts.
For example, Chinese painting, Japanese art, German art, French art, American art, modern art, impressionism, Fauvism, pop art, installation art and other courses in different countries and different art categories. Being a professional is king；
For example, music, there are various musical instruments such as piano, Erhu, Yangqin, flute, Guzheng, accordion, etc.；
For example, sports, roller skating, football, basketball, badminton, tennis, golf and other sports；
For example, the martial arts in sports include Taekwondo, karate, Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Changquan, Tongbai Boxing and other subdivided boxing styles.；
For example, there are subdivided dances such as Chinese dance, classical dance, Latin dance, ballet, jazz dance, and hip-hop dance. These subdivided projects, public schools simply can't provide so comprehensive, this is the project that off-campus training institutions can carry out.
The country's clear signal this time is the content of the compulsory education stage. It is best not to involve off-campus institutions to avoid interfering with the normal running of public schools. Private education should complement public education and take a leading position in public education. This is the will of the country and the country's view on people's livelihood issues.
Therefore, when private education should be withdrawn, and when it should be transformed, don't hesitate at all. In the future, there will be no capital to enter the education and training industry, the salary of the industry will be reduced, and the employees will also transition to other industries. Foreign teachers are no longer popular, because no one will hire foreign teachers to teach, and English learning has returned to traditional learning. The future direction may be pinned on hardware equipment. The use of artificial intelligence in educational hardware is an inevitable trend. The informationization changes in education will continue. We can only quietly observe the changes in the world, and at the same time change our own survival trajectory according to the changes.
