China’s effort to cool its cutthroat education system is winning praise from parents—and skepticism. “No matter how many policies the country comes up with, it won’t work.”

In recent weeks, policy makers have dealt a blow to a multibillion-dollar industry whose customer base was built around families in China’s biggest and wealthiest cities. Public advertising of the services is now forbidden, as is the scheduling of classes during weekends and holidays, with online classes newly capped at a half-hour per session.—a rising policy concern amid signs of a demographic contraction in China.
and social advancement, particularly between China’s prosperous cities and its far less developed rural areas. Roughly seven in 10 students between kindergarten and 12th grade receive after-school tutoring in the country’s most prosperous cities, according to the government-backed Chinese Society of Education. In these large urban centers, intense competition has pushed parents to enroll children in extracurricular English and math classes as early as kindergarten.
