After-school tutor courses scrutinized

Blacklist to be created to identify institutions with serious problems

China will establish a blacklist of unsafe or poorly operated after-school training institutions for primary and secondary students by the end of June next year, as part of its oversight of the rapidly expanding industry, the Ministry of Education said on Monday.

The blacklist, which will be disclosed to the public, will name institutions that have safety hazards, lack permits or have engaged in misconduct.
