China’s education ministry has opened an office to oversee after-school tutoring in a move that comes as part of a national clamp-down on the private tutoring sector.
China has framed tough new rules for the industry, aiming both to ease pressure on school children and boost the country’s birth rate by lowering family living costs, sources told Reuters last month.
Recall in a major policy shift recently, China said that it would allow all married couples to have three children, ending a two-child policy that has failed to raise the country’s declining birthrates and avert a demographic crisis.
The official Xinhua news agency said following a politburo meeting chaired by President Xi Jinping, the policy change will come with supportive measures, which will be conducive to improving our country’s population structure, fulfilling the country’s strategy of actively coping with an ageing population.

The Commissioner of Education in Osun State, Folorunsho Bamisayemi, says the renowned Tablet of Knowledge, popularly called Opon Imo, earlier withdrawn from students of Senior Secondary Schools will soon be re-introduced in grand style.
The Commissioner said in a chat with journalists in Osogbo, the state capital.
He said the popular Opon Imo which won a lot of accolade across the world as a phenomenal ICT innovation in schools, was only temporarily withdrawn to be refurbished and be improved upon.
He noted that the Opon Imo had to be withdrawn because the state did not have an ICT policy on education before it was introduced into schools, hence, its ineffective use.
The withdrawal was to enable the state develop a comprehensive and robust Information and Communication Technology policy in the education sector
The Commissioner noted that some of the ICT facilities had been laying fallow since 2010 as teachers and students lacked requisite capacities.
The Commissioner maintained that the ministry was working on ICT policy that would ensure teachers were adequately trained to equip them with proper skills to manage the Tablets, and other ICT facilities and centers.
The Senate Committee on Public Accounts has begun a probe into alleged diversion of N61.1 billion by officials of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF).
Scheduled to hold of Tuesday in Abuja, the panel led by Senator Matthew Urhoghide is hinging the Investigation on the 2018 report of the Auditor-General of the Federation (AuGF).
Urhoghide acknowledged that the agency has over 50 queries to respond to and according to submitted documents, the agency is being accused of diverting N5.5 billion.
In one of the submitted queries, NSTIF was said to have paid N38.2 billion as personnel cost from 2012 to 2017 without approval of the National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission, in addition to payment of N17.1 billion to some persons and companies from the organisation’s accounts.
In his reaction, the Director-General of NSTIF, Dr. Michael Akabogu, urged the committee to duly scrutinise the report and summon him only for those that concerned him and refer others to his predecessor.
The submitted document reads: “Audit observed that the Fund has been implementing a salary structure that is not approved by the National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission. As a result, irregular payment of N38,219,919,530.32 by way of personnel cost was made to the staff from 2012 to 2017.
“Risk Implementation of unapproved salary structure may result in wastage of public funds, as remuneration may be higher than the productivity level of staff. The Managing Director is required to provide the approval of the National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission for the implementation of the Fund’s salary structure”
A second and third query noted that “Audit of the Fund’s bank statements for the period under review revealed that contributions received from the Federal Government in 2014, amounting to N 5,500,000,000.00, were diverted.
“Audit observed that for the period January 1 to December 20, 2013, N 17,158,883,034.69 was transferred to some persons and companies.
“However, payment vouchers relating to the transfers together with their supporting documents were not provided for audit. Consequently, the purpose(s) for the transfers could not be authenticated.”

A large majority of the 15-nation UN Security Council called Monday for free and fair elections to go ahead in coup-hit Mali without the participation of its current leaders.
The volatile west African nation has announced a new government with army figures in key roles, in the wake of an internationally condemned coup led by Colonel Assimi Goita last month.
Fighting in the vast semi-arid Sahel on the southern fringe of the Sahara desert began in 2012, when Islamist militants joined a local insurgency in northern Mali, capturing swathes of territory.
Former colonial power France intervened in January 2013 to beat them back, in an operation called Serval.
Serval was succeeded in 2014 by the broader Barkhane mission, which has some 5,100 soldiers deployed across the Sahel.
Thousands of soldiers and civilians have died and more than two million people have been displaced, adding to the woes of an already impoverished region.
France announced last week that it was planning to wind down Barkhane — although De Riviere said it would maintain a “significant military presence” in the region.
Several Security Council members backed a one-year extension of MINUSMA, the UN stabilization mission in Mali whose mandate expires on June 30, without any change to current personnel levels.
China and Vietnam said they were in favour of “maintaining the ceiling” of authorised military and police at around 15,000.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says she will offer a formal apology to New Zealand’s Pacific community over demeaning police raids which targeted them in the 1970s.
Ardern said the notorious “dawn raids” were carried out by police and immigration officials seeking to identify and deport visa overstayers.
In addition, she said Pacific islanders were racially profiled, with officials subjecting them to random stop and search without justification.
She said the raids and what they represented created deep wounds, but while history cannot be changed, it can be acknowledged with the aim to seek to right a wrong.
Ardern said the apology would take place on June 26 at Auckland Town Hall.
New Zealand encouraged migration from Pacific islands such as Samoa, Tonga and Fiji after World War II to fill worker shortages as the economy expanded.
But they faced a backlash when there was a downturn in the 1970s, with claims they were taking jobs from New Zealanders.
Minister for Pacific Peoples William Sio, who has a Samoan background, and who fought back tears as he described his own family’s experiences said the raids were “racist and discriminatory”.
A Ugandan military court on Monday released on bail 18 supporters of singer-turned-opposition leader Bobi Wine detained since the start of the year on charges lawyers and government critics say are politically motivated.
The move follows the release on May 25 of a first batch of 17 activists from a group of 35 originally detained on Dec. 30 for violating COVID-19 restrictions on gatherings.
They were subsequently charged in a military court with weapons offences, even though all the accused are civilians.
Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, has over the last three years galvanized a large support base, especially among the country’s youth, provoking a deadly crackdown from the government of veteran leader, Yoweri Museveni.
He stood against Museveni in the country’s Jan. 14 presidential election, but results released by the electoral body said he had lost to Museveni.
Wine rejected the results, alleging ballot stuffing, intimidation of his supporters and falsification of ballot tallies. The U.S. also said the poll was not credible and has sanctioned officials. The government denied election fraud.
Since last year security forces have detained hundreds of Wine’s supporters for interrogations, according to rights activists, the government and opposition officials. Some of those detained have been freed, while others who were detained have not been traced anywhere in official detention facilities.
A total of 25 people have now been confirmed dead after a gas pipe explosion in the Zhangwan District of Shiyan City, central China’s Hubei Province on Sunday.
According to local officials on Monday, thirty-five people who were trapped under debris had been rescued as of 2 p.m. on Monday. Search and rescue operations continue.
The Ministry of Emergency Management said The Work Safety Committee of China’s State Council will supervise an investigation into the deadly explosion,
The blast occurred on Sunday morning at a two-story building in a residential community. Nineteen stores, including drugstores and eateries, were on the building’s first floor, while the second floor consisted of activity rooms and had no dwellers.
The ministry, together with the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and other departments, has launched a special campaign to ensure gas safety in wholesale markets and catering businesses, among other workplaces.
Working groups from central departments have been sent to guide the handling of the accident, while a national medical team has also been dispatched to Shiyan.
