HONG KONG/BEIJING (Reuters) - China is framing tough new rules to clamp down on a booming private tutoring industry, aiming both to ease pressure on school children and boost the country s birth rate by lowering family living costs, sources told Reuters.
The clampdown will also have the effect of cooling China s cutthroat tutoring market for kindergarten through to the 12th grade, or K-12 pupils, that has grown exponentially in recent years to around $120 billion.
