Abstract: This paper studies China's nationwide ban on private academic tutoring for students in compulsory education. Using a novel nationally representative household panel survey on education expenditure from 2017 to 2023, we find that the ban was associated with a substantial decline in private tutoring spending, but also a significant increase in in-school education spending. Households in the lower and middle tiers of the income distribution responded to the ban with lower private academic tutoring spending and students from these families were less likely to be ranked at the top of the class. Further analysis reveals that (i) 87.5 percent of private academic tutoring facilities exited the market after the ban, (ii) the declines in private tutoring expenditures were concentrated among urban households, and (iii) highly educated parents may turn to home tutoring as a substitute to private tutoring. Our findings highlight the substitution toward alternative forms of academic support under the ban and the heterogeneous impacts of the policy.
