On 20021May 16, the general offices of the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC and the State Council issued the Notice on Standardizing the Development of Private Compulsory Education. The local government responded quickly. Sichuan, Hunan and Jiangsu have issued documents to adjust the proportion of private compulsory education. Some provinces have made it clear that they will no longer approve new private compulsory education schools and reduce the proportion of students in private schools to less than 5% in the compulsory education stage.

At the beginning of 2022, Beijing and Shanghai, as the locations of private education, began to respond to this policy.

The Beijing Municipal Government issued a list of key tasks in the work report of the municipal government in 2022, demanding that the governance tasks of private primary and secondary schools such as "public participation" be completed to ensure that the proportion of students in private compulsory education in the city is controlled within 5%, and that all districts are controlled within 15%. Strengthen the supervision, evaluation and monitoring of the development of quality education, education development and development quality.
