First of all, with the strict investigation and management of training institutions by the state, the development momentum of some large formal training institutions has been limited, resulting in the scarcity of training institutions in the market. Faced with the imbalance between supply and demand, training institutions will naturally use market mechanisms to raise prices.
In addition, the increase in cost is also one of the reasons for the price increase. Training institutions need to pay teachers' salaries, venue rent, teaching materials, etc., and also invest a lot of publicity expenses to attract more students.
Secondly, parents' awareness of investment in children's education has gradually increased. They believe that only by participating in high-quality remedial classes can children's learning level and competitiveness be improved and better results be achieved. Therefore, they are willing to pay more money for their children's future.
However, the increase in tuition fees has also brought great pressure to the family economy. Some families may not be able to pay the tuition fees, which leads to children's inability to obtain better learning resources and educational opportunities, which also increases the existence of educational unfairness.
In addition, the increase in the cost of remedial classes may also bring some negative effects. First of all, in order to save money, some families will choose low-cost or even free remedial classes, and the teaching quality of these remedial classes is difficult to guarantee.
Secondly, the high cost may also lead some teachers to ignore the essence of education in pursuit of maximizing benefits, and only teach and instill knowledge mechanically, but lack attention and cultivation of students' personality and characteristics.
Parents and students' views and attitudes towards remedial classes
Faced with the rising cost of make-up lessons, parents and students hold different attitudes and views.
On the one hand, parents generally believe that remedial classes are an effective way to improve children's academic performance, which can provide children with learning environment and opportunities during the summer vacation, and prevent children from fooling around at home or indulging in electronic products. In addition, parents also hope that their children can develop good study habits and self-discipline through remedial classes, so as to lay a solid foundation for future study.
On the other hand, some parents feel helpless and troubled by the rising tuition fees. They believe that training institutions should focus on improving the quality of education and teaching effect, rather than simply pursuing the maximization of income.
For some families with difficult economic conditions, the increase in tuition fees may mean that children cannot be provided with high-quality educational resources, which further aggravates the problem of unfair education.
