2019-10-10
On July 15, 2019, the Ministry of Education promulgated the Implementing Opinions on Regulating Online Extracurricular Training (Jiao Ji Han [2019] No. 8) (“Circular 8”). Circular 8 provides for the record-filing and review management of online extracurricular training activities targeting primary and middle school students which involve use of Internet technology (“online extracurricular training”), puts forward requirements for training institutions, training content and teachers of institutions applying for record-filing, and authorizes the provincial governments (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government) to develop specific record-filing rules.
