💨 Abstract

China's ban on private tutoring to reduce child-rearing costs has led to a surge in black market activities, with parents and teachers facing potential penalties. The demand for private tutors remains high, resulting in increased costs and concerns about the quality of education in the underground market. The ban, implemented in July 2021, has also caused a shortage of teachers, as parents continue to seek one-on-one tuition, which is considered unlawful.
