According to the Wall Street Journal of November 11, 2016, China's Education Ministry this week announced a legal change that prohibits for-profit schools for younger students and seeks to ensure schools are run “in a way supportive of socialism”. The revised law calls for more activities focused on the Communist Party and stronger party “infrastructure” in private schools, the better to “ensure private schools are run from start to finish in a way supportive of socialism.” Peking University Education Professor Yan Fengqiao said the law may be motivated in part by a central-government desire for more influence in education.
