Legal analysis: At present, the Ministry of Education only has provisions on the refund of fees in colleges and universities, but there is no special provision on the refund of fees in private schools. However, some provinces have relevant local laws and regulations to stipulate the refund of fees for local private schools. For example, the Beijing Municipal Education Commission clearly stipulates that if a new student drops out of school before reporting, the tuition fee will be refunded in full; If students drop out of school within one month after the start of school, the school should refund 80% of the tuition.
