Results seen from policy on tutoring institutions

Ten-year-old Beijing primary school student Li Yueheng used to take at least one after-school tutored lesson in Chinese, math and English each week. But those courses were suspended this semester as a result of the central authorities' recent measures to rein in the sprawling tutoring industry for primary and middle school students.

As a result, he has been getting more sleep and has even lost some weight as he has been exercising more, said Lu Junchen, Li's mother.

He did not like the lessons and often complained about them, Lu said.
