Shanghai is to launch a citywide inspection of organizations providing online training and establish a credit management system to better regulate them, the Shanghai Education Commission announced on Monday. The announcement was made after six central government departments, including the Ministry of Education, the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Ministry of Public Security and the National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications, released a guideline to enhance regulation on online cramming schools to ensure a healthy teaching environment and reduce the burden on students. Lu Yugang, director of the Ministry of Education’s basic education division, told a press conference in Beijing on Monday that a campaign by the ministry, the market watchdog and other departments since February last year had brought the vast majority of offline training organizations under official supervision, and some running without license or with security hazards had all rectified problems or been cleared from the market.
