If it involves vocational skills training, it also needs a license issued by the competent labor department. If you don't have a complete license, you can think that it is illegal to run a school. If an institution runs a school illegally without a school license issued by the competent education department or a business license issued by the administrative department for industry and commerce, it may report to the local education department or the administrative department for industry and commerce. Whether running a school is legal mainly depends on whether the teaching has a school license issued by the education department and a business license issued by the administrative department for industry and commerce.
