Schools shall not force or imply the purchase of designated teaching materials. How does the Ministry of Education respond?
When I was a student, most of my classmates had the experience of buying various counseling books. Due to the academic pressure, ordinary textbooks can't meet the practice needs of some schools, so students have to buy supplementary books outside the textbooks to practice and do problems in order to improve their academic performance. The phenomenon that school teachers recommend counseling books and even force students to buy counseling books will happen in many schools.

In 2020, China's Ministry of Education issued some new regulations on the management of school fees, explicitly requiring local schools to strictly manage the charging system, and it is strictly forbidden to collect fees indiscriminately or indiscriminately. It is also impossible to set up cram schools, or increase cram schools for students in other ways and charge relevant tuition fees. At the same time, it is also strictly forbidden to ask schools not to arbitrarily increase the counseling content outside the teaching materials, including letting students buy counseling books outside the teaching materials.

Once this regulation was announced, many netizens supported it. Many people are forced to buy a lot of tutoring materials when they are in school, but the teacher obviously wants to focus on those extracurricular tutoring materials, so students have to buy them. In fact, the contents and exercises in the unified textbooks used by students are actually enough for students to use, and some extracurricular tutoring materials are completely unnecessary. There are also many businesses that secretly buy some school leaders or teachers and force students to buy extracurricular tutoring materials through them. These are extremely unfair behaviors and disrespect for students.

In many schools, there are even arbitrary charges and compulsory remedial classes, and students are miserable. This new regulation can undoubtedly help students get rid of a large number of extracurricular tutoring books to a great extent, and students' development is not just about learning the knowledge in books. Healthy personality and good moral character are also very important for students' growth. I hope all schools can pay more attention to students' comprehensive quality education, so that students can truly become useful talents to society.
