Some people doing management work are not really creative; a few teachers are not dedicated to their profession, not devoted to their students.

The management of illegal extra-curricular teaching and learning outside of school still faces many difficulties and is not very effective. Overcrowding and lack of classrooms still exist in some schools, especially at the preschool and primary levels.
