Tuition and miscellaneous fees refer to the fees charged by schools to students. Primary and secondary school students are free of tuition. People's Republic of China (PRC) Compulsory Education Law (Draft) published by 1986 clearly stipulates that the state implements nine-year compulsory education, and students receiving compulsory education are free of tuition fees. Compulsory education is a compulsory education for all school-age children and adolescents and a public welfare undertaking that the state must guarantee.
