EDUCATION authorities in Xuhui District told six educational training companies yesterday to rectify problems — such as teaching content inappropriate to children’s ages, operating branches without a license, and illegally withdrawing registered funds.
The rectification notifications were released in the wake of Shanghai Education Commission announcing at the beginning of this year it would inspect all local training organizations to clean up the educational training market.
Kuno Method, a preschool educational consulting company, was found to have been teaching students content beyond their capability. It failed to abide by standard financial regulations and operated branches that hadn’t been legally registered.
Only Education and Xueban Education was found to be providing training beyond its registered business scope and violating financial regulations.
Ways Education had illegally withdrawn registered funds. Eliting had problems with providing teacher employment contracts as well as with various accounts.
Zhidian Education had misleading advertising, improper teaching content, and an incorrect financial system.
All the companies were told to rectify their problems by August 30.
