Unregistered cottage schools. It is illegal to operate an unregistered private (independent) school, and the owner of such a school can be prosecuted and upon conviction be sentenced to 3 months in prison or a fine. Also, parents who send school-age children to such unregistered schools can be prosecuted and upon conviction be sentenced to 6 months in prison or a fine. Note that, despite the legal threat, there are thousands such “illegal” schools, because there are millions of desperate parents who want good education for their children. Also, such “illegal” schools are not often prosecuted by the authorities.
