Due to the encouragement and promotion by the central and local governments, non-governmental running schools have been flourishing, and private schools such as private supplementary schools and private schools have been developed. The social subjects that participate in private schools include businessmen, gentry, and the people of justice. There are many forms of running schools, such as social studies, moral education and academies. Non-governmental running schools have become an important part of the national education system.
