On the one hand, extracurricular tutoring in primary and secondary schools is not a phenomenon in China, so it is not a companion of exam-oriented education. There is a saying of "shadow education" abroad, which is actually aimed at extracurricular tutoring for students. In China, an important function of extracurricular tutoring in primary schools is to serve students' further education, whether it is to help the weak or nurture them. It can be said that extracurricular tutoring is not a scourge.
On the other hand, extra-curricular tutoring makes parents uneasy, mainly because the education and training market kidnapped the parents of students: that is, parents should let their children receive counseling even if they don't agree with the practice of educational counseling institutions in order not to lose at the starting line or to ensure their children win in the fierce competition for further studies.
The brutal expansion of the education and training market has strengthened the examination-oriented education and brought heavy pressure to students, which runs counter to the country's efforts to reduce the burden on students, promote quality education and improve the quality and spirit of education.
