BEIJING—China’s Ministry of Education said on July 28 that it began implementing a campaign to stop paid after school tutoring services provided by teachers who worked for public, primary, and middle schools.

The Chinese regime issued rules last week barring for-profit after school tutoring in core school subjects in an effort to boost the birth rate by lowering living costs for families.
