Abstract

China published the Opinions on Further Reducing the Students' Assignment Burden and the Off-Campus Training Burden in Compulsory Education in July 2021 in an effort to alleviate the academic burden of Chinese primary and secondary students. With the execution of the "Double Reduction" policy, however, numerous problems emerged. The school has cut the amount of homework provided to students, but parents will actively offer additional homework. On the surface, the number of after-school tutoring institutes has decreased, but these classes continue to proliferate covertly. This series of issues arises from the "Double Reduction" policy's disregard for parents' and children' needs to improve exam scores. We should take into account this demand by enhancing the education burden reduction policy further. This paper will use actual cases and empirical data to illustrate the problems that have occurred since the adoption of the "Double Reduction" policy, and give suggestion to improve the policy in combination with literature and the author's own ideas.
