Date of last update: 2020-04-10 14:03New Coronary Pneumonia has been raging in Hong Kong for many months. Many industries cannot operate as usual. The private education industry has even suffered from zero income due to the suspension of students.
The Education Center Alliance today (10th), together with Legislative Council members Zheng Songtai and Liang Yaozhong, held a press conference, criticizing the government ’s second round of bailout measures to help the industry. Unregistered education centers, such as Playgroup, interest classes, etc., were unable to obtain the four. A one-off subsidy of 10,000 yuan is required, and the government is required to subsidize 70% of the rent subsidy to all tuition societies and education centers during the suspension period.

The Education Center Alliance visited 500 local education centers in a questionnaire survey, of which 40% were registered tutoring schools and 60% were unregistered education centers. Among them, 99% of the respondents expressed dissatisfaction with the government ’s second round of bail-out measures, and 93% of the respondents said that even if they received a 40,000 yuan subsidy, they would fail within 3 months, and about 50 interviewed Playgroup held People, all fingers will close.
Mr. Ren, a representative of the Education Center Alliance, said that the government will have specific industry support measures for other industries and questioned why the government ignored unregistered education centers. He said that assuming that classes are resumed in September, on average, each education center needs to pay a million dollars to continue operating during the suspension period, and the government's 40,000 yuan subsidy "is not enough for one month's rent", but the game center can get ten. Wan supported, criticizing "99% of people who are dissatisfied with sending money". He pointed out that after the introduction of the policy, the number of peers intending to close the business instead increased because of the "disillusion" of government operations.
Another representative of the Education Center Alliance, Mr. Su, said that 50% of the salary allowance is useless for the tutoring industry because it is impossible to operate at zero income, and the 70% rent allowance proposed by the alliance is actually difficult to overcome the difficulties. The events of closing a business and borrowing money to live on a daily basis are expected, and many of the peers are expected to close after running out of savings. He claimed that he operated a tutoring club in a public housing mall and spent 120,000 to 30,000 yuan per month. The current subsidy of 40,000 yuan is not effective, and the owner has no intention to consider rent reduction. He also believes that private tutoring clubs are the product of the education system. For example, the current interviews for entering primary schools are harsh. If you do not report to Playgroup, you will definitely "undercut" because parents cannot train children to deal with interviews by themselves, but the government refuses to support these. Industry, otherwise they will "admit that their education system is inadequate."

Zheng Songtai said that the government's bail-out measures only benefit industries that are friendly to the functional constituencies of the establishment, and forget the people's livelihood and grassroots service industries, such as social enterprises and tutoring sectors. His government criticized car-making behind closed doors. He did not understand which industries were the most ardent, nor did he understand the nature and value of the work in various industries. Zheng Songtai pointed out that assistance to the private education sector is important for grassroots trustees and students with special needs. Zheng Songtai said that the tuition industry did not have a large-scale outbreak like the beauty industry and the bar industry, because the industry self-regulated and closed to cooperate with the government's epidemic prevention, but the government only compensated for the industry that closed after the outbreak of the epidemic, and it is unfair to ignore the self-regulated industry.
Liang Yaozhong pointed out that the suspension of the private education sector was due to the government's announcement to suspend school, and it was duty-bound to support their salaries and rents. However, the current subsidy of 40,000 yuan is just "accommodation and charity", which cannot achieve the effect of ensuring employment. He criticized the authorities for failing to face up to the contribution of the education center, and believed that dual-time parents may find it difficult to find places to trust students after resuming classes.
